Cougar unveils single-tower FRZ 412 ARGB CPU cooler series

Cougar has expanded its CPU cooling lineup with the introduction of the FRZ 412 ARGB and FRZ 412 Elite ARGB single-tower coolers. Both models offer a 240W TDP rating alongside broad Intel and AMD socket support.

The standard FRZ 412 ARGB (via ITHome) incorporates a top-mounted dot-pixel display for real-time CPU or GPU temperature tracking, an integrated RGB strip, and black-finished aluminium fins. Cooling performance relies on four 6mm Direct Touch heat pipes running through a 160mm-tall heatsink with an offset base designed to preserve memory clearance in the first RAM slot. Cougar pairs the heatsink with an FDB-bearing fan featuring ring-surrounded blades, operating from 0 to 2500 rpm to deliver up to 74.52CFM of airflow and 3.66mmH2O of static pressure.

Stepping down to the FRZ 412 Elite ARGB omits the top display, front RGB lighting, and black fin coating in favour of a chrome finish. While fan performance metrics match the standard version with up to 2500rpm speed, 74.52CFM airflow, and 3.66mmH2O pressure, the Elite swaps the FDB bearing for a rifle bearing. Both coolers feature a rated 240W TDP and support Intel LGA115x, 1200, 1700, and 1851 sockets alongside AMD AM4 and AM5 platforms.

KitGuru says: Following the introduction of the FRZ 612 ARGB series, the more compact FRZ 412 ARGB CPU coolers bring similar specs in a more compact form factor. Hopefully, that will also mean a lower price point.
