Thermalright Aqua Elite 240 White V3 Water Cooling CPU Cooler, Double PWM ARGB Fans with S-FDB Bearings,Efficient PWM Controlled Pump,for AMD/AM4/AM5, Intel LGA1150/1151/1200/2011/1700

This cooler looks so good! 240mm or 360mm, it's an affordable and smart choice!One tip I would say for anyone looking to buy, get thermal paste!!! It comes with a little tube but both times I have installed these the paste has been clumpy and uneven to spread. That's my only complaint and it's not even on the coolerAs for performance, it's works fantastic! Low temps on CPU testing, Low noise levels, fits most builds and cases, and is super easy to install with an included guide! A+ in all categories!

I own a Thermalright PS-120 SE and now I own this 240mm Aqua Elite V3. Easy to install, looks like quality, feels like quality, works like quality, low price. Can't be beat. Thermalright made a life long customer outta me. If you need any install help watch the YouTube video for the Thermalright Frozen Prism 240mm aio, it uses the same mounting as the Aqua Elite V3. If you watch the thermalright Aqua Elite video it is not the same version as the new V3 so mounting will not be the same. Cheers

I had a cheap master air cooler that blows down, it starts leaking weird yellow substances on the fan so I went ahead and got this AIO; Works wonderful, way cooler than the air cooler, and not to mention it's quieter too under full load 75c and idle at 40c. The daisy chain argb is beautiful too. Not to mention the crazy price here what a steal!

It's a good cooler, does the job. But I'm giving it just 4 stars. I was considering returning it because the fans rattle and is the loudest thing in my computer. The first week after building my computer, they were super quiet and I was very happy. I've already installed it in my computer, so I am going to keep it. Definitely could be quieter. They probably aren't seated correctly in their bearings.Otherwise, this is a very good cooler for the money. Honestly for $60, it's not bad. It was super easy to install, not confusing at all. I like the RGB, pretty colors, man!I'm going to take it apart in a the coming weeks (June 2024) and rebuild it to see if that fixes it, otherwise I'd search for another cooler if you want some real peace and quiet.

Had bad luck with a corsair aio, decided to just go budget and I'm loving this. Build quality is solid for the price. I've definitely felt heavier aios, although this thermalright aio doesn't lack. Installation is a little difficult at first if your installing without any help. I've installed other aio' that're more convenient to work with. No problems in the end though.Update - 3/21/25 - Still running smooth and fortunately there are many videos that explain the correct orientation and how these coolers work so definitely check that out yourself, trust me.- Make sure your pump is higher than your water block. (PLEASE)- This could be different for you for whatever reason but the lower my tube's were the better. Less sound with the pump, radiator and all that good stuff.The first picture I'll post is a little old but I'll update with another here soon.

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.
