FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Antec Skeleton 240 ARGB?

The product information does not specify the warranty period. Please refer to the retailer or Antec's official website for warranty details.

Can I control the ARGB lighting without a compatible motherboard header?

Yes, if your motherboard lacks a 3-pin ARGB header, you can typically use an external ARGB controller, often included with other components or available separately, to manage the lighting effects.

What is the expected lifespan of the pump and fans?

The pump is designed for durability with a Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) of 40,000 hours, and the fans have an MTTF of 50,000 hours.

Does the Antec Skeleton 240 come with pre-applied thermal paste?

The cooler includes a tube of thermal paste for application during installation. It is recommended to use this or a high-quality aftermarket paste.

How loud are the fans at their maximum speed?

At their maximum speed of 2000 RPM, the fans can produce a noise level of up to 32 dB.

What are the dimensions of the radiator and fans?

The radiator measures 240mm in length and the two included fans are standard 120mm x 120mm x 25mm in size.

Is this cooler suitable for overclocking?

Yes, the Antec Skeleton 240 ARGB is a high-performance cooler designed to handle the thermal loads associated with moderate CPU overclocking, provided adequate case airflow.

Troubleshooting

Pump is not spinning or ARGB lights are not on

Ensure the pump's 4-pin connector is securely plugged into the motherboard's designated pump header (e.g., AIO_PUMP or PUMP_HEADER) and that the ARGB 3-pin connector is correctly attached to an ARGB header.

Fans are not spinning

Verify that the 4-pin PWM fan connectors are properly seated in the motherboard's CPU_FAN header or a dedicated fan hub. Check fan speed settings in the BIOS or system software.

CPU temperatures are too high

Confirm that the pump and fans are running. Check that the mounting pressure is adequate and the copper base plate is making full contact with the CPU. Ensure thermal paste was applied correctly and that the radiator and fans are free of dust obstructions.

ARGB lighting is not synchronizing or working correctly

Ensure the ARGB connectors are correctly oriented and plugged into a compatible 3-pin ARGB header. Use the motherboard manufacturer's software or a dedicated ARGB controller to manage lighting effects.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient cooling performance for modern CPUs
  • Unique and visually striking skeleton-frame pump with ARGB lighting
  • Wide compatibility with current and past CPU socket generations
  • High airflow and static pressure from PWM fans
  • Durable pump with a long lifespan

Cons

  • Fan noise can be significant at maximum RPM (up to 32 dB)
  • Requires a chassis with 240mm radiator mounting support
  • ARGB setup may require additional controller or motherboard headers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Before installation, verify that your PC case has sufficient mounting space for a 240mm radiator (typically a top or front mount). Ensure your motherboard has the necessary CPU socket and fan headers (4-pin PWM for fans, 4-pin for pump, 3-pin for ARGB). The Antec Skeleton 240 supports a wide array of Intel sockets (LGA 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 1200, 1700, 1851, 2011, 2011-v3, 2066) and AMD sockets (AM3, AM4, AM5).

Installation:

  1. Mount the two 120mm fans onto the 240mm radiator using the provided screws.
  2. Prepare the CPU area by cleaning the existing thermal paste with isopropyl alcohol.
  3. Apply a small amount of the included thermal paste to the center of your CPU.
  4. Attach the appropriate mounting brackets to the pump for your CPU socket type.
  5. Secure the pump assembly onto the CPU and motherboard using the mounting hardware.
  6. Connect the fan cables to the motherboard's CPU_FAN header (or a dedicated fan controller).
  7. Connect the pump cable to the motherboard's PUMP_HEADER or AIO_PUMP header.
  8. Connect the ARGB cables from the fans and pump to the motherboard's ARGB header or a compatible controller.

Care:

  • Dusting: Periodically clean the radiator fins and fan blades with compressed air to maintain optimal airflow and cooling efficiency. A soft brush can help dislodge stubborn dust.
  • Cleaning: The pump head and radiator exterior can be wiped down with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
  • Connections: Regularly check that all cable connections are secure to ensure proper function and lighting.
