Cougar has expanded its CPU cooling lineup with the introduction of the FRZ 412 ARGB and FRZ 412 Elite ARGB single-tower coolers. Both models offer a 240W TDP rating alongside broad Intel and AMD socket support.\n<\/p>\n

The standard FRZ 412 ARGB<\/a> (via ITHome<\/a>) incorporates a top-mounted dot-pixel display for real-time CPU or GPU temperature tracking, an integrated RGB strip, and black-finished aluminium fins. Cooling performance relies on four 6mm Direct Touch heat pipes running through a 160mm-tall heatsink with an offset base designed to preserve memory clearance in the first RAM slot. Cougar pairs the heatsink with an FDB-bearing fan featuring ring-surrounded blades, operating from 0 to 2500 rpm to deliver up to 74.52CFM of airflow and 3.66mmH2O of static pressure.\n<\/p>\n

Stepping down to the FRZ 412 Elite ARGB<\/a> omits the top display, front RGB lighting, and black fin coating in favour of a chrome finish. While fan performance metrics match the standard version with up to 2500rpm speed, 74.52CFM airflow, and 3.66mmH2O pressure, the Elite swaps the FDB bearing for a rifle bearing. Both coolers feature a rated 240W TDP and support Intel LGA115x, 1200, 1700, and 1851 sockets alongside AMD AM4 and AM5 platforms.\n<\/p>\n

KitGuru says: Following the introduction of the FRZ 612 ARGB series, the more compact FRZ 412 ARGB CPU coolers bring similar specs in a more compact form factor. Hopefully, that will also mean a lower price point.\n<\/p>\n
