The Antec Vortex 240 ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler delivers up to 240W of thermal dissipation capacity, driven by a high-velocity 2800 RPM pump and dual 120mm PWM fans engineered for high static pressure. This cooling configuration provides robust thermal management for modern multi-core processors while maintaining customisable addressable RGB lighting across your build.

Handling high-TDP processors with 240W of thermal headroom

Built to handle demanding workloads, this liquid cooler features a TDP rating of 240W. The integrated pump operates at a speed of 2800 RPM (± 10%), pushing coolant through the loop at a flow rate of at least 1300 mL/min. This rapid circulation ensures heat is quickly transferred away from the CPU integrated heat spreader (IHS) to the aluminum radiator. Despite the high velocity, the pump operates quietly at a maximum noise level of 28 dB(A), keeping your system quiet during intense gaming sessions or heavy rendering tasks.

Focused static pressure with Fusion 120 ARGB PWM fans

The 277mm aluminum radiator is cooled by two Fusion 120 ARGB PWM fans. These fans are engineered specifically for radiator applications, producing a high static air pressure of 2.11 mmH2O to push air effectively through the dense cooling fins. With a pulse-width modulation (PWM) range of 600 to 2000 RPM, the fans scale their speed dynamically based on system temperatures. At maximum speed, they deliver 57.93 CFM of airflow with a noise level of 31.24 dB(A), utilising hydraulic bearings to maintain smooth, reliable rotation over a 40,000-hour lifespan.

EPDM high-density tubing and durable pump engineering

To prevent coolant loss and maintain system efficiency over time, the cooler utilises EPDM high-density tubing. This material offers superior resistance to permeation and high temperatures compared to standard rubber tubing. Both the pump and the fans are rated for a 40,000-hour operational lifespan, ensuring long-term cooling stability. Antec backs this liquid cooling system with a 3-year warranty, reflecting its durable build quality and component selection.

Broad socket compatibility for modern Intel and AMD platforms

The mounting hardware supports a wide array of modern and legacy CPU sockets, allowing for straightforward integration into your current or future build. The cooler connects to your motherboard using standard 3-pin pump and 4-pin PWM fan headers, while the addressable RGB lighting utilises standard 3-pin LED connectors for direct synchronisation with compatible motherboard lighting software.
