Manufacturer description
The Thermaltake UX150-L ARGB CPU Cooler is a great solution for builds with space restrictions. Able to dissipate up to 130W of heat thanks to a copper base plate and aluminum fin assembly paired up with a custom 130mm high-airflow fan. Lighting is provided via 6 LEDs mounted in the hub and 16 LEDs in the ring, illuminating not only the blades but also the infinity mirror mounted in the center. Thanks to the included 5V 3-Pin daisy-chain connector customization is easily controlled by motherboard sync software.

Key Features
- 【Fit for Flexibile Form Factors】An ideal choice for SFF builds or even full sized builds, coming in at 75.6mm in height compatibility is not an issue.
- 【Intel Optimized】Ensured compatibility with Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200/1156/1155/1151/1150.
- 【Infinity Mirror】Adding depth to lighting we installed an infinity mirror to the center hub of the fan for an extra effect.
- 【Non-Interference Design】No need to worry about choosing a specific kit of memory due to height requirement, thanks to the non-interference design there is no overlap from the cooler to the memory.
- 【Hydraulic Bearing Reliability】Built with reliability in mind the hydraulic bearing also excels with lowered noise during operation and enchanced thermal efficiency.
