Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 V3 AIO CPU Cooler, 360 Liquid Cooling, ARGB PWM Fans

Thermalright is a pretty loved budget brand from what I could find. I read through alot of threads and it seems like people have really enjoyed it and have not had any issues with it so far. Will regularly check posts once a month to see if any catastrophic failures occur or if a pattern arises I had to replace my 8 year old cooler master AIO. This AIO at first confused the hell out of me with the mounting bracket. Then I realized I was holding the intel package. So, it comes with 2 packages for whatever chip set you have. Fans are nice and silent, the radiator is beefy, and the mounting was easy. Keeps my 5070 Ti running cool at a very nice 55-60 while playing Monster Hunter Wilds. I bought one for my wife since it has been doing so well in my own PC. Overall its performing great in both PC and I am happy with it. And honestly, its hard to beat the price.

I used this in a Ryzen 9 7950X build, replacing a well-known name-brand 240mm AIO cooler. Moving to this and running OCCT (CPU and Power testing), as well as Prime95 testing, this now tops out at 85 °C with PBO enabled. For the price paid, I could not ask for more performance and functionality. The included fans appear to be of high quality and are very quiet using the stock fan options in the BIOS. The included installation instructions and parts are a significant improvement over those of an AIO from this vendor from three years ago. I appreciate that Thermalright continues to improve its products and installation process. From an functality standpoint, I recall the last install being a bit more difficult and it's far easier now with the four screw approach over previous clamp style.

I wasn't expecting much. For the price I figured it would keep me as cool as the fan cooler. I am in central Florida and the house stays around 82F and the air cooling turns a room into 90F plus while keeping my CPU around 82C with fresh thermal under load. Decide it is time to give this a try. First noticable difference was the room temperature. Mid 80s instead of 90s is a blessing. My CPU sits at 69-73C even with 3d model rendering taxing the CPU to 100% for 10 plus minutes. For the price and the noticable difference. This is a no brainer. CPU is Intel 12900.
