Thermaltake Divider 300 TG ARGB Review

Assembly & Finished Looks »

Before we dive into the assembly of things, let's take a quick detour into the extras Thermaltake has provided us with in this review. To showcase the Divider 300 TG ARGB with as much ARGB goodness as possible, we will be using their Toughram DDR4 RAM, Toughpower GF2 ARGB PSU, and Water 3.0 ARGB 240 Sync AIO CPU cooler in one of our Divider 300 TG ARGB builds.

Thermaltake Water 3.0 240 ARGB Sync


The Thermaltake Water 3.0 ARGB 240 Sync ships in a full-color box with loads of information on it. The bits and pieces ship securely in a shaped cardboard box.


As the OEM is Asetek, all the mounting parts are well-known and actually make for a pretty easy assembly experience. Thermaltake makes the unit their own by including an in-line ARGB controller and two ARGB-hub-equipped fans, which allow for the ARGB signal to be daisy-chained.


Naturally, you get an assembly manual with the cooler. It even guides first-time builder through the process rather well.


The AIO CPU cooler itself is completely black and comes with smooth tubing. The pump housing sports embedded ARGB LEDs and the Thermaltake logo, with a separate 3-pin connector to power the pump. A dab of pre-applied thermal paste should be just fine for those mounting the cooler right out of the box.


Once the fans are installed, you are essentially ready to mount the unit within the case, so let's move on to the next extra from Thermaltake.

Thermaltake Toughpower GF2 ARGB 650 W 80 Plus Gold


The Thermaltake Toughpower GF2 ARGB PSU is the successor to their GF1 units. Its box comes in the same colorful and detail-packed design as the Water 3.0 cooler.


Besides the power cable, some zip ties, and mounting screws, the Toughpower GF2 ARGB ships with a nice bag that holds all the individual cables for the fully modular power supply. The unique cable is for the embedded ARGB fan, which allows you to control it via the motherboard. Unfortunately, there is no cable to connect this ARGB fan to the embedded case PCB or daisy-chain it to the Water 3.0 ARGB fans, so unless your motherboard has two headers, you are not going to be able to synchronize its lighting with your other ARGB elements.


You will also find a manual for the Thermaltake Toughpower GF2 ARGB alongside a little warranty booklet.


Looking at the PSU, the vent for the fan sports their square logo, and you can clearly see the 140 mm fan within. Its ARGB elements are placed inside the hub, and both sides of the unit also light up in the same effect, which has its capacity label act as another cool light source.


A full-color label has been placed on the other side, giving you all the detailed specifications of the unit.


As the unit is fully modular, all the plugs are recessed, sitting flush with the housing. The small connector in the top-right corner is the aforementioned ARGB plug. It is literally of the same kind as on the Water 3.0 fans, so one cable with that plug on both ends will do the trick in synchronizing everything. On the other side is the on/off switch with a smaller switch to toggle the semi-passive fan setting for the unit. Two square buttons allow you to cycle through the ARGB effects and colors directly on the power supply, so you will always be able to adjust its lighting quickly and easily even without any motherboard capabilities.

Thermaltake Toughram ARGB 4000 MHz DDR4


Lastly, we also received a set of the Thermaltake Toughram RGB RAM rated at 4000 MHz. We got the black edition, but Thermaltake also offers a white, or "Snow," variant. These modules are wrapped in a thick and heavy heatspreader and sport a diffused RGB lighting element on top.


Once installed, they make a very nice visual impression, and the lighting elements should be readily visible once the system is up and running. If you want to know more about the Toughram memory from Thermaltake, we have reviewed several variants of them in the past, with specifications all the way up to 4600 MHz.
