Aqua Elite 240 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, (AE240 V3)

This works great in a Lian Li A4 case to cool an Intel i7-14700K and mounted without issue. I tested the cooling capacity with Handbrake and encoding some old home videos, and I could cool about 247 watts and keep the CPU at 90* C. Moving up to the 250-255w range would bring the temp up to 95* C and cause the frames processed to drop. I do have a Thermal Right cooling frame installed on the CPU, but overall, I'm pleased with this AIO - and very impressed for its price point. I have another Thermal Right AIO in a PC with a 9800x3d, and it keeps the CPU cool with a +200 Mhz overclock. The RGB colors are nice & bright, and they are easily controlled with Open RGB. I've been using the other TR AIO for about a year and a half at this point, and I have no lifespan concerns. Overall, I highly recommend this AIO for anyone seeking great performance in a small case.

Pros, 1. For a 240mm cooler with ARGB fans it's price is extremely hard to beat. Even the comparable Cooler Master Core 240mm AIO costs a good bit more only offering merely the same quality and features at a more expensive price. 2. The build quality is good. 3. It's fairly quiet, but depending on your CPU can get hot and loud under load. I'm using a Ryzen 5 7600X and this AIO keep it cool and quiet under load with the right fan curve and PBO setting. The same could be said for almost any AMD AM5 CPU. This also supports a lot of different AMD and Intel sockets as well. 4. The ARGB fans look great and are easy to control with motherboard and/or my motherboard software. 5. It was OK to install. Cons, 1. The instructions aren't the best so if you're not much of a DIY person I'd advise going on YouTube for help or have someone else install it that knows how to. 2. The tubing is a little stiff so it made it harder for me to install. The tubing didn't have to be that hard IMO. Other than the minor flaws I encounter I'd recommend this 240mm AIO to anyone looking to cool most CPUs. I wouldn't recommend this for extreme overclockers or someone using CPUs like the Intel I7 13700K, I7 14700, I9 13900K or I9 14900K because their reputations of just getting too hot. For AMD I wouldn't recommend this for overclocking and/or running their higher core count(12cores or more) and X3D CPUs either. For those CPUs I'd recommend at least a 280mm or 360mm AIO IMO.

this was my first aio from this company i thought it was going to be bad because of the price point of the thing but it turns out its really good this thing cooled my am4 rig before i switched to am5 it was super easy to install the one downside i will say is the sheer amount of cables but they can be daisy chained together to make it not so bad the instructions were nice for installing the custom bracket that it uses when i upgrade coolers for my am5 i plan on going with this company again because their prices are unbeatable and the performance is actually really good this actually shocked me as i was thinking it would be a scam at 50 dollars i thought no way when every other aio costs double that it cools my am4 really well and the rgb is really good glad i decided to try and see because found a gem of a company doing so

using it with ryzen 5600 . id say dual fan aio is just enough, and compared to dual fan air coolers. wow quiet even on full load, might perform the same but noise level i think will go to the aio. good cpu temps, srgb works value for money indeed, fans are quiet, pump quiet as well.

The cooler itself came in a very protective packaging that ensured it all arrived in one piece. The cooler itself feels very high quality in your hand— the material feels good and it is hefty. Easy to mount AFTER you read the instructions (I had the AM5 mounts facing the wrong way) and stays on very nicely. Thermalright’s fans (2 were already preinstalled) have good color and luminance, and each one is daisy-chainable to ensure ease of use with most motherboards. Once you tweak your fan curves, these fans run relatively quiet (NOT silent), and get some good air flowing. If you mount them right, the fans should leave no visible gap in between each other. Thermalright makes some good products, however the diagrams on the box, and the manual were read in either poorly written or poorly translated English. That, and the fan logos aren’t always centered, so sometimes there is a noticeable wobble from the middle of the fan.

Keeps my ryzen 7 5800XT at a stable 60 degrees Celsius under heavy loads. The RGB looks nice, and the instructions are easy to follow. It’s a very good AIO if you’re looking for something cheap but effective.

I love Thermalright products! You can't beat the performance for the price! I have this on a Ryzen 5 5600 and the air barely ever gets warm! The ease of installation and the awesome accessory pack these come with is well worth the money. I have mixed feelings about the thermal compound they send. I've never used it, and always use my go to brand. I would definitely recommend this cooler if your on a budget, I'm currently running a 120, 240, and 360 in different builds, and I am very happy with the performance for the price. I have had 0 issues with any of their products.

Extremely quiet works better than my old one that I had and Easy to install.

i havent had a chance to install it yet in my new pc still waiting for some other parts to be delivered ive had the 120mm one for about a year now never had a problem with it so im sure this one will be just as good as the 120mm
