Fan Thermaltake CT120 EX ARGB Sync Matcha Green 12cm 68cfm Hydraulic

The Thermaltake CT120 EX ARGB Sync Matcha Green is a 120 mm PC cooling fan that combines high airflow performance with addressable RGB lighting and an improved magnetic quick-connect system. Built with MagForce 2.0 for faster and more tolerant magnetic connections, this fan delivers up to 68 CFM airflow, 2.95 mm-H2O static pressure and operates at a maximum noise level of 28.5 dBA. The frame and anti-vibration pads increase structural stability and reduce vibration while the hydraulic bearing supports quiet, durable operation. ARGB lighting with nine addressable LEDs supports motherboard synchronization for uniform color control across compatible systems.

Advantages

MagForce 2.0 provides larger pogo-pin contact pads for improved tolerance and easier daisy-chaining or cable connections, reducing faulty alignment during installation. The reinforced fan frame and refined exterior profile minimize air gaps and improve mounting fit on chassis or radiators. Corner anti-vibration rubber pads dampen vibration for higher-speed stability. Nine addressable LEDs enable 16.8 million colors via motherboard RGB software for synchronized lighting effects.

Suitable for

• PC cases requiring 120 mm fans for improved cooling
• Radiator cooling in liquid-cooled builds
• Systems where synchronized ARGB lighting is desired (5V addressable header required)
• Quiet or long-running systems that benefit from hydraulic bearings

How to use

Install the CT120 EX into a 120 mm fan mount on your case or radiator using the supplied screws. If you plan to use ARGB lighting, connect the fan’s 5V addressable RGB cable to a compatible motherboard header and enable synchronization through the motherboard RGB utility (ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome, or other supported software). For multiple fans, use the MagForce 2.0 quick-connect system to daisy-chain fans or connect cables as needed. Ensure the fan’s power connector is attached to a suitable fan header or controller for PWM control if available.

Recommendations

Use a 5V addressable RGB header on the motherboard for full lighting control and verify compatibility with your motherboard vendor’s sync software. Avoid obstructing airflow around the fan frame and secure the fan firmly to prevent vibration; replace rubber anti-vibration pads only with compatible parts to maintain noise damping.
