FAQs

What is the TDP (Thermal Design Power) rating for this cooler?

> Info needed: TDP rating for the Silverstone PF120-ARGB.

How do I connect the RGB lighting?

The cooler comes with RGB illumination. Connect the RGB cables to a compatible RGB header on your motherboard or to the included RGB controller, following the included manual for specific pinouts and configuration.

What is the warranty period for the PF120-ARGB?

> Info needed: Warranty information for the Silverstone PF120-ARGB.

Can I replace the included fan with a different one?

Yes, the fan is a standard 120mm PWM fan and can be replaced if necessary. Ensure the new fan's specifications (thickness, connector type) are compatible with the radiator and your case.

How often should I clean the radiator and fan?

It is recommended to clean the radiator and fan at least every 6-12 months, or more frequently in dusty environments, to maintain optimal cooling performance and airflow.

Does this cooler come with pre-applied thermal paste?

> Info needed: Whether thermal paste is pre-applied to the Silverstone PF120-ARGB.

What are the dimensions of the radiator and fan combined?

The radiator measures 120mm (W) x 153mm (D) x 2.8mm (H). The fan dimensions are 120mm x 25mm x 120mm (W x D x H). The total thickness will depend on how the fan is mounted to the radiator.

Troubleshooting

Pump not running or making unusual noise.

Check the pump power connection. Ensure it is securely connected to the motherboard or a dedicated power source. Verify the pump speed setting in the BIOS or software. If noise persists, the pump may be faulty.

CPU temperature is too high.

Ensure the water block is properly seated on the CPU with adequate thermal paste application. Check fan and radiator for obstructions and dust. Verify the pump is running and the fan is spinning. Confirm correct socket mounting hardware is used.

RGB lighting not working.

Check all RGB cable connections to the motherboard or controller. Ensure the RGB header is enabled in your motherboard's software or BIOS. Try connecting to a different RGB header or using the included controller if provided.

Fan is noisy.

Ensure the fan is connected to a PWM header and set to an appropriate speed profile in the BIOS or software. Check for any obstructions hitting the fan blades. If noise persists at all speeds, the fan may be defective.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Advanced pump design for effective heat removal.
  • Quiet operation due to a refined pump motor and optimized fan blades.
  • High durability with automotive-grade components.
  • Aesthetically pleasing with RGB illumination.
  • Broad compatibility with modern Intel and AMD sockets.

Cons

  • Requires adequate space for radiator and fan installation.
  • Fan noise can reach up to 35.6 dB at maximum speed.
  • Installation may be more complex than air coolers for beginners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

This cooler supports a wide range of modern CPU sockets, including:

  • Intel: LGA 1366 (Socket B), LGA 2011 (Socket R), LGA 2066, LGA 775 (Socket T)
  • AMD: Socket AM2, Socket AM3, Socket AM4, Socket FM1, Socket FM2

Setup:

  1. Ensure your PC case has sufficient space for the 120mm radiator and fan.
  2. Mount the radiator and fan according to your case's airflow configuration (typically as an exhaust).
  3. Apply thermal paste to the CPU.
  4. Secure the water block to the CPU using the appropriate mounting hardware for your socket type.
  5. Connect the fan to the motherboard's CPU_FAN header and the pump power to a 4-pin Molex or appropriate motherboard header.
  6. Connect the RGB cables to a compatible motherboard header or the included RGB controller.

Care:

  • Periodically check and clean the radiator fins and fan blades to ensure optimal airflow and prevent dust buildup. Use compressed air or a soft brush.
  • Ensure all connections are secure and free from corrosion.
  • Avoid running the system without the pump operational.
