Additional Thermaltake Components

The Tower 600 Stand


Thermaltake also sent us the stand which is specifically for The Tower 600. It ships in a plainer brown cardboard box.


The stand comes in three parts and is made of plastic. It clips into place without any screws and considering the tension of those plastic clips it isn't really meant to be taken apart again as you may risk breaking off those clips in the process. To round things off, there is a cap to replace the feet of The Tower 600 in the same matcha green color to match the rest of the chassis.


As expected, you will also find a basic assembly manual and legal warranty information inside the box.

CT120 EX ARGB Sync Fans


Continuing the matcha green color theme, Thermaltake also offers fans to match. We were sent two packs of the CT120 EX ARGB Sync units - one of which are of the reverse bladed kind.


These fans are similar to the understated design of the fans that are included in Thermaltake's AIOs or those which come pre-installed inside their cases. In each of the 3-packs, you will find the usual set of mounting screws as well as three cables with a color matched magnetic connector. Again, there is the usual warranty pamphlet and a basic instruction manual.


The fans are engineered quite well with a tiny gap between the blades and frame. All the ARGB elements of the unit are mounted in the center, with the blades used to spread the glow.


Even the rubber pads on these are color matched and the design is different on the front vs. the rear. This is likely to ensure that the visible side stays clean and true to the overall design language of these cooling units.


Keeping to the understated looks, the entire frame is smooth with subtly visible arrows and branding gently embedded into it. Each unit has six metal pads on one and six push pins on the other side, allowing you to easily daisy-chain them together in a clean fashion.


To do so, simply line them up and let the embedded magnets take over to snap them into alignment perfectly. As you can see, this allows you to use a single wire to power these. The reverse fans are exactly the same, but naturally sport blades that will push air in the other direction.

TH360 V2 ARGB Sync AIO


We also received a 360 mm AIO to use for the review build. This liquid cooler has been available for a while, but seems to still have a strong customer base. We used the 240 mm variant in a case review just over a year ago at the time of writing this review and get to use this TH360 V2 ARGB Sync unit in The Tower 600 now.


All three fans are of the TH120 model, which sports the same clean, understated frame as the ones within the chassis. These both come with short wires as well and have passthrough ends, so that you may daisy-chain them easily. While short cables are intended to reduce cable clutter, longer ones would have given you a bit more flexibility in how to route them out of view. The liquid cooler is accompanied by mountings for all modern sockets sorted into individual bags. You will receive a two-way PWM fan splitter cable, an ARGB extension wire with a splitter end and small tube of thermal paste. Thermaltake also includes four of their TT shaped clips to hold ARGB connections together, which is a nice USP. The general documentation to assist in the assembly process and some warranty details round out the extras.


The AIO itself is pretty standard fare, without any branding on it whatsoever. However, it is of the square kind, which looks a bit cleaner than the older variant with the rounded edges. A fill port means that you should be able to top up or refill your unit if the need arises.


The base of the cooler is fairly tall, even though there isn't really a real need. The top cap may be rotated and features ARGB lighting. This way, the Thermaltake logo will always be right side up, no matter how you install the unit. As with all AIOs these days, the baseplate is copper and is secured with numerous screws. The hardwired wiring consists of a fan header to power the pump within as well as a classic ARGB connector.
