Air cooler Thermaltake CT120 EX ARGB 12 cm Green 500-2000 RPM Hydraulic

The Thermaltake CT120 EX ARGB Sync Racing Green is a 120 mm case/radiator fan with a hydraulic bearing and a 500–2000 RPM speed range. It uses the MagForce 2.0 quick-connect system for improved magnetic connections between fans, supports motherboard 5V ARGB sync for lighting control, and is designed to deliver higher airflow and static pressure while keeping noise levels low.

Advantages

MagForce 2.0 doubles the size of Pogo pin contact pads for a more tolerant and reliable magnetic connection when daisy-chaining fans or using the quick-connect cable, reducing alignment faults and simplifying installation. The fan frame is reinforced to prevent deformation and to improve contact with chassis or radiators, minimizing air leakage. Corner anti-vibration rubber pads reduce vibration and allow stable operation at higher speeds. Nine addressable LEDs provide wide ARGB coverage (16.8 million colors) and are compatible with major motherboard sync software.

Suitable for

• PC cases requiring one or more 120 mm intake/exhaust fans
• Radiator cooling in AIO or custom liquid-cooling setups
• Gaming and high-performance desktops needing higher airflow and static pressure

How to use

Install the CT120 EX ARGB into a 120 mm mounting location in your case or onto a compatible radiator using the supplied screws. Connect the fan power to a PWM fan header on the motherboard to control speed (500–2000 RPM), and plug the 5V ARGB cable into a 5V addressable RGB header on the motherboard to enable lighting control. For daisy-chaining multiple CT EX fans, use the MagForce 2.0 quick-connect system to link fans magnetically or via the provided connectors, ensuring the pogo-pin contacts align when attaching.

Recommendations

If using ARGB lighting, confirm your motherboard has a 5V addressable RGB header and enable sync in the motherboard software. Place intake and exhaust fans to maintain balanced airflow; use higher RPM profiles under heavy loads for improved cooling, and enable fan curves in BIOS or software to balance noise and temperature.
