Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Thermaltake UX500 compatible with my processor?
Yes, the UX500 supports both Intel and AMD platforms, including LGA775, LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156 (Intel) and AM2, AM3, AM4 (AMD) sockets. Check your motherboard socket type to confirm compatibility before purchase.
What is the maximum TDP this CPU cooler can handle?
The Thermaltake UX500 is rated for up to 260W TDP, making it suitable for mid-range to high-performance processors. For processors exceeding this TDP, consider a larger cooler or liquid cooling solution.
How quiet is the 120mm PWM fan?
The 120mm PWM fan operates between 700–1800 RPM with a hydraulic bearing, delivering quiet operation at lower speeds and ramping up only when thermal demand increases. This variable speed control balances cooling performance with noise levels.
Can I use the UX500 in a compact PC case?
The single-tower design is more compact than dual-tower coolers, but verify your case's CPU cooler clearance specifications. Most standard mid-tower and full-tower cases accommodate this cooler without issue.
