ThermalrightAqua Elite 360 V3 Water Cooling CPU Cooler, 3 PWM ARGB Fans with S-FDB Bearings,Efficient PWM Controlled Pump,for AMD/AM4/AM5, Intel LGA1150/1151/1200/2011/1700, (AE360 V3)

I've never had water cooling or an AIO before. I got this one based on the Tom's hardware review and the great price point. The braided hoses are a little stiff and makes placing the cooling block a little tricky, but otherwise the installation is pretty straightforward and easy on AM4.Performance is great out of the box. Definitely runs cooler and quieter than the heatsink I was using before. After dialing in my fan and pump curves, I have it running very quietly around low to mid 40s celsius when gaming. I'm sure I could lower temps under load, but the fans would have to run harder and louder and I've found a good balance of performance to noise.The included fans are great. Nice and quiet and the ARGB looks great. We'll see how the quality and longevity is, but pretty impressed so far.

I have been using thermalright products for a while now and their coolers do not disappoint: more than enough performance at a fair price. In my country, a gamemax cooler (or from any other chinese brand) costs more than what I paid for this, so it turned out to be extremely convenient. It feels very good quality, looks very good, and performs quite well; My 5600 at 4.5ghz gives 28° at idle and under load it goes up to 57° with cinebench, so it will definitely hold up to much more powerful processors. I read some low rated reviews complaining about the noise of the fans, and it's as simple as setting a curve in the bios to control the noise, which to be honest, is not as loud as some said. The funniest comment was from some fool who installed the block support backwards and said the cooler didn't fit on AM4/AM5 platform... made my day :DFor the price, it is unbeatable.PROS:- Quality overall- Easy to installCONS:- To much cables; it would be really nice if Thermalright started to use daisy chain fans

I know a majority of people have well-known AIO brands such as NZXT, Corsair, Lian Li, and CoolerMaster but this cooler is really underrated. I own a NZXT and a couple other CoolerMaster coolers and this cooler could give the rest of the competition a run for its money. With the other brands I own, you have to assemble the fans and screw it on to the radiator but with Thermalright Aqua Elite 240 V3 (the one I got), the fans are already pre-installed. It's not much but it does save a bit of time. I would also note that it came in perfect condition, the box and the item itself. Compared to CoolerMaster, the aluminum fin stacks are perfect. The CoolerMaster coolers have dented fin stacks sometimes which does bother me (like how does QC allow fin stacks to be dented?). I got this cooler to replace my 3-4 year old cooler from CoolerMaster, one of their first renditions of the MasterLiquid with OG logo on it. Hopefully the replacement with change the difference from sitting at around 75 degrees Celsius on idle to around 40 when I swap it out. Also, I want to note that this comes with cable combs around the tubes of AIO which gives a really nice premium feel to it. There's a small accessories package that has all the different mounting kits along with thermal paste. Don't sleep on this brand. I know Thermalright has some nice air coolers and CPU brackets but I don't hear much from the AIO department. Not to mention that these coolers are around 50 bucks.EDIT: One major downside is that the tubes are a bit too long and to not strain the tubes, I had to place it on the right instead of the left. Temps are good under load (around 60-69 degrees Celsius). Comes with thermal paste, no spatula, and easy short manual for mounting and plugging cables to motherboard.

This was easy to installIt is quieter than my air cooler ever wasIt keeps it cool to the point where it rarely kicks up. Currently playing Diablo 4 on max settingsInstructions on the rgb stuff wasnt clear so I didn't connect them but I dont like a bunch of color out of the corner of my eye anyway

I was using a corsair H60x aio on my i5-13600k and it for whatever reason it could not keep it cool. The i5 shouldn't have any issue being cooled by a 120 aio, it doesn't get that hot. But I kept seeing temps above 100c in games and that was concerning.After seeing many people recommend Thermalright as a really good budget brand with excellent performance, I thought I'd give them a shot. I'm very happy that I did. Temps don't go anywhere near 100c anymore, they usually stay in the upper 70's low 80's under load and my case is more to blame for them being that high than anything else (NZXT h510i, terrible for airflow). But I'm super impressed with how it's performing.The included fans are hub lit and match the other RGB in my case perfectly and seem like they are quality fans. I haven't had any urge to replace them. Thermal paste is included (but only enough for one attempt, so make sure you get it right). All the hardware was there that was needed and everything went pretty smooth during install, I only had one issue. When trying to mount the pump to the cpu bracket, I could get the bottom screw in easily, but the top one fought me. It was harder to line it up than it should have been, but I got it in the end.The only other 'issue' is that the tubes are stiffer than what I'm used to. It took a little bit of trial and error to get them away from my top exhaust fan.Very happy with this though and especially the price. This cost half as much as the corsair H60x and is better in every way.

I wouldn’t buy anything else tbh (unless you want LCD screen on pump head), so cheap and works amazing. Has RGB fans that are daisy chained, and overall looks great

i always heard that AIOs are hard to install sometimes but the fact that the mounting system is so easy to put on my AMD board and the fans are already pre-installed makes this such a good buy all for a cheap price.it comes with thermal paste already so i LOVE that, even if i already bought some of my own. Also about thermals, it hasnt struggled to keep my 7600x nice and cool.the noise has been fairly low and i cant hear it from less than a foot from my ears.
