Built around a 280mm radiator, this AIO cooler pairs two PWM-controlled Riing Duo RGB fans with a densely illuminated addressable RGB water block. It integrates seamlessly with Thermaltake’s TT RGB PLUS ecosystem and NeonMaker software, delivering precise LED control, synchronized lighting effects, and a striking centerpiece for high-end builds. Whether you’re overclocking a multi-core processor, running a powerhouse workstation, or crafting a showpiece gaming rig, Floe DX RGB 280 is engineered to balance cooling efficiency, acoustic comfort, and eye-catching aesthetics.

• High-performance 280mm radiator: The Floe DX RGB 280 employs a wide, dual-140mm radiator design to maximize heat dissipation while maintaining low noise. This size offers ample surface area to handle demanding CPUs, enabling stable temperatures during long gaming sessions or heavy rendering workloads. The result is cooler operation under load and quieter acoustics at idle, helping your system achieve peak performance without sacrificing comfort.
• Addressable RGB water block with 16.8M colors: The water block features an addressable LED array capable of 16.8 million colors, delivering vivid, per-LED illumination. With NeonMaker and TT RGB PLUS, you can craft dynamic lighting scenes, accent your motherboard and case lighting, and even respond to system activity. It’s not just about looks—per-LED control lets you highlight your build’s unique aesthetic with precision.
• PWM-controlled Riing Duo RGB fans: The two fans in this kit are specifically engineered for quiet, efficient operation with a focus on both radiator cooling and overall case airflow. PWM control ensures automatic adjustment to maintain optimal temperatures while keeping noise to a minimum. The dual-RGB fan design also makes lighting effects more cohesive and immersive when paired with the water block.
• Software-driven lighting and control: TT RGB PLUS and NeonMaker give you deep, software-based control over lighting and effects. Per-LED customization enables intricate lighting choreography across the cooler, motherboard, and case components. NeonMaker simplifies creating animated sequences, gradients, and reactive lighting, so your rig can reflect performance modes, temperatures, or game scenes in real time.
• Premium design and integration: The Floe DX RGB 280 TT Premium Edition is built for reliability and long-term aesthetics. Its robust construction, quiet pump, and streamlined tubing routing reduce vibration and simplify installation in a wide range of cases. The overall package is designed to deliver a premium, cohesive look and dependable cooling performance for enthusiasts who want both function and flair.

How to install Thermaltake Floe DX RGB 280 TT Premium Edition

• Prepare your system and case: Before starting, verify that your case supports a 280mm radiator and has a clear path for radiator mounting. Gather the included mounting hardware, fan screws, and the RGB/command cables. Ensure your power supply can accommodate additional fans and the RGB/USB connections required by TT RGB PLUS and NeonMaker.
• Mount the radiator and fans: Decide whether you want the radiator in the top or front mounting position based on airflow in your case. Install the two Riing Duo RGB fans onto the radiator using the provided screws. Confirm that the fans rotate in the correct direction for optimized airflow, and secure the assembly in the chosen location.
• Prepare the CPU mounting and water block: Install the appropriate mounting brackets for your CPU socket (Intel or AMD) as supplied in the kit. Remove any existing cooling solution if present, clean the CPU surface, and apply the pre-applied thermal compound as designed by Thermaltake. Attach the water block to the CPU and firmly secure to the mounting brackets to ensure even contact.
• Connect power, RGB, and control cables: Connect the pump/fan power cables to the CPU fan header and/or the dedicated pump header on the motherboard or to the included controller as instructed. Attach the RGB cables from both fans and the water block to the TT RGB PLUS header or controller, following the included wiring diagram. If required, connect the NeonMaker-compatible USB or control interface to enable software-driven lighting.
• Software setup and testing: Power on the system and enter the BIOS to confirm fan and pump speeds are detected. Install TT RGB PLUS and NeonMaker on your operating system, then run the software to configure lighting profiles, per-LED effects, and synchronization with other TT devices. Test the lighting, adjust color groups, and validate that temperatures stay within safe operating ranges during load testing.
• Finalize cabling and cable management: Route cables neatly along the motherboard tray, using zip ties or Velcro straps. Ensure there is adequate clearance for other components, and avoid bending tubing sharply. Recheck clearances after closing the case and verify that the system remains stable during initial boot and under load.
