Product Overview

The darkFlash Storm Z4 V2 ARGB Tower CPU Cooler is an upgraded single-tower air cooler designed for modern gaming PCs, productivity systems and custom desktop builds.

Compared with the original Storm Z4, the V2 increases rated cooling capacity to 220W TDP, improves maximum airflow to 65.8 CFM, and reduces overall cooler height to 150mm, making it both more capable and easier to fit in a wider range of cases.

Four copper heat pipes transfer heat rapidly away from the CPU into the tower heatsink, while the 120mm ARGB fan pushes air through the fin stack. The integrated lighting can also synchronize with major motherboard lighting platforms, including ASUS Aura Sync.

Key Features

Up to 220W TDP Cooling

darkFlash officially rates the Storm Z4 V2 for:

Up to 220W TDP

This makes it suitable for a broad range of mainstream and performance-oriented processors when used with appropriate power limits, case airflow and ambient temperatures.

Actual CPU temperature will depend on:

• Processor power consumption
• CPU boost settings
• Case airflow
• Ambient temperature
• Thermal paste application
• Fan curve
• Workload duration

4 Copper Heat Pipes

The Storm Z4 V2 uses:

4 copper heat pipes

to transfer heat quickly from the CPU contact area into the aluminum heatsink. darkFlash highlights these four heat pipes as a core part of the V2’s cooling design.

The heat pipes work together with the fin stack and 120mm fan to maintain more stable processor temperatures during sustained workloads.

120mm ARGB Cooling Fan

The ARGB version includes a:

120 × 120 × 25mm fan

with a variable speed range of:

800–1600 RPM ±10%.

The variable fan speed allows the system to balance cooling performance against acoustic output depending on CPU load.

65.8 CFM Airflow

The ARGB fan delivers up to:

65.8 CFM

which is substantially higher than the original Storm Z4 ARGB’s 54.7 CFM rating.

Higher airflow helps move more heated air away from the heatsink during demanding gaming and productivity workloads.

1.82 mmH₂O Static Pressure

darkFlash rates the ARGB version at:

1.82 mmH₂O static pressure.

Static pressure is especially important on a tower cooler because the fan must force air efficiently through the resistance of the heatsink fins.

ARGB Lighting

The Storm Z4 V2 ARGB adds customizable illumination to gaming and showcase builds.

darkFlash specifically states that the lighting can synchronize with major motherboard software such as:

ASUS Aura Sync.

Depending on the motherboard or controller used, the cooler can complement:

• ARGB case fans
• Gaming motherboards
• RGB memory
• ARGB PC cases
• Other compatible lighting components

Hydro Bearing Fan

The included fan uses a:

Hydro Bearing

for smooth rotational performance and everyday durability.

150mm Compact Tower Height

The complete cooler measures:

150mm Height
120mm Width
92mm Depth.

The 150mm height is particularly useful for mid-tower PC cases where taller 155–165mm air coolers may not fit.

Case Compatibility

Before purchase, check the case specification for:

Maximum CPU Cooler Height

Your case should support at least 150mm of CPU cooler clearance.

Intel CPU Compatibility

darkFlash officially lists the following Intel sockets:

• LGA115X
• LGA1200
• LGA1700
• LGA1851

This makes the cooler compatible with a wide range of Intel desktop platforms, including modern LGA1700 and LGA1851 systems.

AMD CPU Compatibility

Supported AMD sockets include:

• AM4
• AM5

This makes the Storm Z4 V2 suitable for many current AMD Ryzen gaming and productivity systems.

Improved Cooling vs Storm Z4

The V2 is a meaningful upgrade over the original Storm Z4 ARGB.

The V2 sacrifices some acoustic performance at maximum fan operation in exchange for substantially stronger airflow and a higher official TDP rating.

Cooling Design

The Storm Z4 V2 follows a proven tower-cooler architecture:

CPU → Base → 4 Copper Heat Pipes → Fin Stack → 120mm Fan

Heat produced by the CPU is absorbed at the contact area and transferred through the copper heat pipes.

The heat pipes distribute that thermal energy through the tower heatsink, while the 120mm fan forces air through the fins and into the case airflow path.

Gaming PC Compatibility

The Storm Z4 V2 is particularly suitable for:

• Mainstream gaming PCs
• Performance gaming builds
• AMD Ryzen systems
• Intel Core systems
• Intel Core Ultra desktop builds on supported sockets
• RGB/ARGB gaming PCs
• Mid-tower cases
• Productivity PCs

Its compact 150mm height can make it especially useful where case clearance is limited.

Air Cooler vs AIO Liquid Cooler

The Storm Z4 V2 is an air CPU cooler, not a liquid AIO.

Advantages of the Storm Z4 V2

• No liquid pump
• Simple mechanical design
• Easy maintenance
• Lower cost than many liquid coolers
• Up to 220W TDP rating
• Strong 65.8 CFM airflow
• ARGB lighting
• Compact 150mm size

Consider a larger AIO if:

• Running sustained very high CPU package power
• Using aggressive processor power limits
• Heavy all-core rendering is the main workload
• You specifically want a liquid-cooled appearance
