Description
The ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240 ARGB White Edition is a high-performance liquid cooling solution engineered for enthusiasts seeking both thermal efficiency and a premium aesthetic. At its core is the 7th Gen Asetek pump, which operates at a minimum of 840 RPM to ensure quiet operation during idle states and scales up to 2,800 RPM for intensive cooling. The 240mm aluminum radiator is paired with two ROG STRIX 120mm ARGB fans, specifically tuned to deliver 80.95 CFM of airflow and 5.0 mmH2O of static pressure. This combination ensures that heat is rapidly dissipated from the copper CPU plate through the 380mm reinforced sleeved rubber tubing, maintaining system stability under sustained loads.
This product is for:
- PC builders creating all-white themed gaming rigs who require color-matched components.
- Gamers using high-TDP processors like Intel Core i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen 7/9 that require more than standard air cooling.
- Content creators and video editors who need a quiet cooling solution to prevent thermal throttling during long rendering sessions.
- Overclockers looking for a reliable 7th Gen Asetek pump platform with precise PWM control.
- Small-to-mid tower chassis owners who need the balanced footprint of a 240mm radiator for maximum case compatibility.
Detailed specifications:
- Pump Technology: 7th Gen Asetek pump with motor speed from 800 to 2,800 RPM.
- Radiator Dimensions: 121 x 272 x 27 mm, constructed from high-grade aluminum.

- Warranty: 6-year limited warranty for long-term reliability.
Installing the ROG STRIX LC II 240 ARGB is streamlined by the inclusion of pre-applied thermal compound and flexible 380mm sleeved tubing, which simplifies cable management in various case layouts. The NCVM-coated pump cover provides a sleek, metallic finish that reflects the internal ARGB lighting, creating a centerpiece for the motherboard. In operation, the PWM control allows for a customized fan curve, enabling the system to remain virtually silent during web browsing while providing the necessary static pressure to push air through the dense radiator fins during 4K gaming or heavy multitasking.
Compared to traditional air coolers, the ROG STRIX LC II 240 ARGB offers superior RAM clearance and reduces the physical stress on the motherboard PCB. While 360mm AIOs provide more surface area, this 240mm variant offers a more versatile fit for compact mid-tower cases without significantly sacrificing the cooling headroom needed for modern 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel processors. The inclusion of a 6-year warranty places it among the most durable options in the liquid cooling market, providing a longer support cycle than many entry-level AIO competitors.
Q&A:
- Does this cooler support the Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5 sockets? Yes, it includes the necessary mounting brackets for both LGA 1700 and AM5, as well as older sockets like LGA 1200 and AM4.
- Is the thermal paste already applied to the cooler? Yes, the copper base comes with pre-applied high-quality thermal compound for immediate installation.
- Can I control the RGB lighting without an ASUS motherboard? Yes, while it is optimized for Aura Sync, the ARGB fans and pump use standard 3-pin headers that can be controlled via most modern motherboard lighting software.
- How long is the warranty for the ROG STRIX LC II series? This product comes with a 6-year manufacturer warranty covering the pump and radiator assembly.
- What is the length of the water tubing? The cooler features 380mm of reinforced sleeved rubber tubing, providing enough length for front or top-mounted radiator configurations in most ATX cases.
