Because I can't stop tinkering with my computer, I've decided to upgrade the cooling on my CPU. The stock cooler is FINE. But I want better than fine - I want awesome and RGB!!

So I decided to plump for the ROG Strix LC 240 RGB (UK - https://amzn.to/3mFmAMN / USA - https://amzn.to/3pijkIG ). In this second of three videos, I'm installing the cooler into my computer. There's a few gotcha's along the way, especially as I learn the hard way between ARGB and RGB.

If you want one of the handy RGB Converter boxes you can get them here (UK - https://amzn.to/3sr3Ggv / USA - https://amzn.to/2LJTTBv )

Coming up in Part 3 - I'll be looking at installed in the computer and a few comparisons with how it stacks up against the stock cooler.
