Thermaltake Intros UX400 Entry-Level Series CPU Air Cooler
Thermaltake expands the entry-level range of CPU air coolers with the new UX400 series, which includes three models: ARGB Sync White, ARGB Sync Black, and matte black. Using a single-tower design, they measure 125 mm × 92 mm × 152 mm and are equipped with four Ø6 mm U-shaped copper direct-contact heat pipes. The Thermaltake UX400 series sports a 120 mm fan with PWM speeds of 700-1800 RPM, providing an airflow of 62.72 CFM, a static pressure of 1.47 mm-H2O, and a noise level of 25.0 dBA. The fan of the UX400 ARGB Sync features 9 addressable LEDs that can be customized via 5 V motherboard sync software from ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, BIOSTAR, and ASRock.
With a cooling capacity of 240 W TDP, the UX400 comes with universal brackets for Intel and AMD CPUs, including the latest LGA1851 and AM5 CPU sockets. It looks very similar to the UX200 SE series launched in 2023, with the main differences being in the heatpipes areas (for better clearance) and the updated 120 mm fan. Regarding price, the Thermaltake UX400 ARGB Sync (Black, CL-P142-AL12SW-A / White, CL-P143-AL12SW-A) are listed on the Thermaltake's Taiwan website for NT$790.00 (approximately $24), and the UX400 (Matte Black, CL-P149-AL12BL-A) for NT$690.00 (roughly $21).

Me no comprende, or in webby-speak "w.T.f. thermalfake" :roll:
I do not see much real life use for such coolers these days. If you are really low on cash you can use those. I think the second hand market is full with unwanted cpu cooler with same or better cooling performance.
I would not use it again on a Ryzen 5800X / 7600X. A ryzen 3 3100 can be cooled with anything - even a Noctua nh-D15 without the fans mounted. I doubt there are many processors similiar in thermal waste power as the ryzen 3 3100 these days fresh on the market.
edit: It seems I missed the poor baseplate design. Okay: A disappointment as a product, regardless of price
AMD MCM CPUs need not apply.
4000G, 5000G, and 8000G should do okay w/ HDT coolers, though.
I've had This style of cooler, it was insufficient for a Ryzen 5 5600; same HDT cooler was a top 'high value' performer, on Intel.I'm not an explicit 'fan' of Tt, but the last thing I want to see in this industry, is more NZXTs :shadedshu:
I just want to see them overtake Corsair.. :D
OtoH, the quite-popular MCM Ryzen SKUs, are not happy under Heatpipe Direct Touch/Contact coolers.Good point. I'm doubtful a lot of SIs 'care' about the seemingly-pedantic distinction. -same way they don't care about seemingly-pedantic Dual Channel RAM.
I'd tend to agree, 'coldplate' (rather than HDT) is better as-a-norm.
