Compatibility with a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets, including the latest platforms, ensures broad usability for different system configurations.

The ARGB fans offer precise control over lighting patterns and synchronization with other ASUS Aura Sync-compatible components, enabling a cohesive lighting setup across the entire system. Installation is streamlined with included mounting hardware and an intuitive design that simplifies the setup process for both novice and experienced builders.

Overall, the ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240 ARGB Cooler provides an excellent combination of aesthetics, performance, and reliability, making it a solid choice for gamers and PC enthusiasts seeking to maintain optimal CPU temperatures while adding a touch of style to their rigs.

ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240 ARGB Cooler F.A.Q.

How can I install the ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240 ARGB Cooler on my motherboard?

To install the cooler, first secure the backplate to the motherboard. Then attach the radiator to the case, typically at the top or front. Apply thermal paste if not pre-applied, align the pump with the CPU, and secure it with the provided screws. Finally, connect the ARGB and power cables to the appropriate headers.

What should I do if the ARGB lighting on my ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240 is not working?

Check the ARGB connections to ensure they are firmly attached to the motherboard's ARGB header. Verify the ARGB header settings in your BIOS, and make sure your motherboard supports ARGB. If issues persist, try a different header or use the ASUS Aura Sync software to troubleshoot further.

How often should I clean and maintain the ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240 ARGB cooler?

It's recommended to clean the cooler every 6-12 months. Dust off the radiator fins using compressed air and check for any blockages in the fans. Ensure that all connections remain secure and inspect for any leaks or unusual noise from the pump.

Why is my ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240 ARGB cooler making a gurgling noise?

Gurgling noises are usually due to air bubbles in the coolant loop. Ensure the radiator is mounted at the correct orientation and check for any leaks. Running the pump at maximum speed for a few minutes can also help purge air bubbles.

What should I do if my CPU temperatures are higher than expected with the ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240?

Ensure that the cooler is mounted correctly and that thermal paste is applied properly. Check the fan and pump speeds in the BIOS or software to ensure they are not set too low. Verify that there is adequate airflow in your case and that the radiator is not obstructed by dust.

Can I control the fan and pump speeds of the ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240 via software?

Yes, you can control the fan and pump speeds using the ASUS Armoury Crate software, which allows you to set custom profiles and monitor system performance. Ensure the software is installed and updated to the latest version.

Is it normal for the pump of the ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240 to be warm to the touch?

Yes, it is normal for the pump to feel warm as it is actively circulating coolant to dissipate heat from the CPU. As long as your CPU temperatures are within a safe range, this is not a concern.

How do I update the firmware of the ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240 ARGB cooler?

Currently, the cooler does not require a firmware update as it is controlled through the motherboard's BIOS and ASUS software. Ensure that your BIOS and ASUS software are up to date for optimal performance and compatibility.

What is the best radiator orientation for optimal cooling with the ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240?

Mounting the radiator at the top of the case with fans set as exhaust is often recommended for optimal cooling. This setup allows hot air to naturally rise and exit the case efficiently.

Can I use the ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 240 ARGB cooler in a push/pull fan configuration?

Yes, the cooler supports a push/pull configuration for improved airflow. You'll need additional fans and longer screws to mount them on the opposite side of the radiator. Ensure that all fans are oriented correctly to work in tandem.
