Description
The Jonsbo CR1400 V2 ARGB elevates the standard for compact air cooling by merging high-efficiency thermal engineering with a sophisticated aesthetic overhaul. Standing at just 133mm tall, this tower cooler utilizes four 6mm nickel-plated vacuum heatpipes and a high-density fin array to achieve a 180W TDP rating. The V2 iteration introduces a carbon fiber textured top cover and a dual-zone trapezoidal infinite mirror effect, synchronized with the 92mm PWM fan's central lighting to create a cohesive, multi-layered visual experience.
This product is for:
- Small Form Factor (SFF) enthusiasts requiring a high-performance cooler under 135mm in height.
- Budget-conscious gamers looking for a 180W TDP solution that supports the latest Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5 sockets.
- PC builders prioritizing aesthetics who want synchronized ARGB lighting and infinite mirror effects without a premium price tag.
- Users upgrading from stock coolers to reduce noise levels and improve thermal headroom for modern multi-core processors.
- System integrators seeking a reliable, easy-to-install cooling solution with a pre-installed through-bolt bracket system.

Installing the CR1400 V2 is streamlined by its updated through-bolt mounting kit, which ensures even pressure distribution across the CPU IHS while minimizing the risk of damage during transit. In operation, the 92mm PWM fan balances airflow and acoustics effectively, maintaining low noise levels during idle tasks while ramping up to 2200 RPM to handle intensive workloads. The nickel-plated finish on the heatpipes prevents oxidation, ensuring long-term thermal conductivity and a premium look that complements the carbon fiber accents.
Compared to the original CR1400, the V2 model offers a significant aesthetic upgrade with its dual-zone infinite mirror and improved 180W TDP overhead, making it more suitable for modern 12th/13th/14th Gen Intel and Ryzen 7000/8000 series CPUs. While larger 120mm coolers might offer slightly lower noise floors, the CR1400 V2’s 133mm height allows it to fit in many Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX cases where standard 155mm+ towers would fail. It provides a more robust cooling alternative to low-profile top-down coolers without the clearance issues often associated with massive dual-tower heatsinks.
Q&A:
- Does the Jonsbo CR1400 V2 support the Intel LGA 1700 socket? Yes, it includes the necessary mounting hardware for Intel LGA 1700, 1200, and 115X sockets.
- Will this cooler fit in a small form factor (SFF) case? With a height of only 133mm, it is compatible with many compact tower cases that cannot accommodate standard 120mm fan coolers.
- How do I control the ARGB lighting effects? The cooler uses a standard 3-pin 5V ARGB connector, allowing it to be synchronized via motherboard software like ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, or Gigabyte RGB Fusion.
- Is the thermal paste included in the package? Yes, Jonsbo provides thermal grease to ensure a complete installation out of the box.
- Can this cooler handle an AMD Ryzen 7 or Intel Core i7 processor? With a 180W TDP rating, it can efficiently cool mid-to-high range CPUs under standard operating conditions, though extreme overclocking may require a larger solution.
