Zalman ALPHA2 A24 WHITE computer cooling system Processor All-in-one liquid cooler 12 cm

The Zalman ALPHA2 A24 WHITE is an all-in-one liquid cooler designed for modern desktop processors. It supports current Intel and AMD platforms and combines a 240 mm radiator, dual 120 mm ARGB fans, a rotatable magnetic pump head and a pure copper cold plate to deliver effective CPU cooling while fitting a variety of mounting layouts.

Advantages

Compatibility with Intel LGA1851/1700/1200/115x and AMD AM5/AM4 sockets ensures broad processor support. The pump features a 360° rotatable magnetic head and a dual-flow internal design that reduces residual fluid and prevents pump overload. Real-time CPU temperature display reads values from BIOS for immediate monitoring. The included Zalman AF120 ARGB fans use hydro-dynamic bearings and shark-fin blades to maximize airflow with low noise. ARGB lighting is synchronized with common motherboard RGB software, and the aluminum radiator offers wide heat-dissipation fins and push-pull mounting options.

Suitable for

• Cooling Intel 14th Gen and earlier LGA1851/1700/1200/115x CPUs
• Cooling AMD Ryzen on AM5 and AM4 sockets
• Compact and mid-tower builds requiring a 240 mm (2x120 mm) AIO cooler
• Systems where ARGB lighting synchronization and a visible pump are desired

How to use

Install the radiator in a compatible location in your case (top, front or rear depending on clearance) using the provided mounting holes and screws. Mount the two 120 mm ARGB fans in a push, pull or single configuration according to your preferred airflow. Fit the pump block to the CPU socket following the included mounting kit for your socket (Intel or AMD), connect the pump and fan power and ARGB headers to the motherboard, and apply the supplied ZM-STC10 thermal compound between the CPU and cold plate before tightening. Power on the system and verify the pump rotation orientation and ARGB synchronization in BIOS or motherboard RGB software.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, ensure the radiator fans are set to PWM control in BIOS so fan speed adapts to CPU temperature. Periodically check mounting screws and tubing for secure fittings and confirm ARGB headers are connected to compatible controller software. Use the real-time temperature display to monitor thermal behavior under load and adjust fan curves if necessary.
