Akasa SOHO 240 Dawn Edition 240mm ARGB AIO CPU Cooler White

Akasa SOHO 240 Dawn Edition 240mm ARGB AIO CPU Cooler White

A white 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler with addressable RGB on the pump and fans, a bundled lighting controller and a 255W rating.

The SOHO 240 Dawn Edition is the white version of Akasa’s 240mm cooler. It combines a copper-based pump block with a 276 x 120 x 27mm radiator, 400mm braided tubes and two SOHO AR12 120mm fans. Akasa rates it for a 255W TDP, which is more than enough for the hottest mainstream desktop processors from Intel and AMD.

Fans and noise

The AR12 fans run from 500 to 2000 RPM under PWM control, each moving 52.91 CFM at 1.75mm-H2O static pressure, and are rated for 40,000 hours. Akasa quotes 14.5 dB(A) at the bottom of the range and 31.8 dB(A) at full speed, so the cooler can be tuned to be near silent at idle.

Lighting and compatibility

The pump head and fan frames carry addressable RGB LEDs. An ARGB controller is included, along with an adapter and extension cable for connecting to a motherboard 3-pin 5V header, so the lighting works with Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, ASUS Aura, ASRock Polychrome and Razer Chroma. Mounting covers Intel LGA1851, 1700, 1200, 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 2011 and 2066 and AMD AM4 and AM5. Punch Technology can fit it in a new build with a 240mm radiator mount.

Ideal for

• White-themed gaming builds
• Core i7, Core i9, Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 processors
• Boards without an ARGB header, thanks to the controller
