Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 V3 Water Cooling CPU Cooler, 3 PWM ARGB Fans with S-FDB Bearings,Efficient PWM Controlled Pump

TBD on longevity, but this AIO took my CPU temp down from 97 degrees celsius during Battlefield 6 to about 75. I originally built my PC with a Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO DARK 70.4 CFM cooler, but as you can see it just couldn't hold up during Battlefield. Furthermore, while idle, this AIO took my CPU from 54ish degrees to around 40. Very pleased with the performance thus far. It does have a bit of a high pitched ring while running. A lot of people probably will never hear it, but I can. A bit annoying, but not a huge deal.

I've only about 6 days into this PC building put together, so take my words with a grain of salt, I can't really speak to the endurance of the AIO. With that said, my cooling is great, the bracket was very easy to install, my CPU is performing very well and the radiator while top mounted on my system works as a great exhaust system. If you have three fans of the same size bringing air into your case, I find that this plus one auxiliary exhaust fan (there is some resistance from the radiator) keeps my case in relatively negative pressure with great thermal performance. The water block looks good, it's not super gaudy or anything and you can control it with whatever ARGB software you want. I'm using the gigabyte control center And it works fine. I'll edit this if anything goes wrong, but I anticipate getting roughly 5 to 7 years out of this water cooler. In my photo you might notice that one of the fans doesn't have ARGB, that's my own doing as I just did not daisy chain the last one because I had already done my cable management and forgot it lol. Noise level is super low, if I have any issues I'll come and edit this review.

bought this to stop the jet-engine noise and it delivered. Under load it stays surprisingly quiet and keeps temps under control. Install was smooth and the tubing length worked perfectly in my case. Now my GPU is the loud one… and I’m coming for it next.

Amazing AIO, it is really quiet, even when overclocking your pc. Fit well inside my custom rig. The colors are good, and actually work well with the iCUE color picker. Great price for the value.

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.
