Thermaltake Water 3.0 ARGB Motherboard Sync Edition AMD/Intel LGA1200 Ready360 All-in-One Liquid Cooling System 120mm High Efficiency Radiator CPU Cooler CL-W234-PL12SW-A

This is probably one of the best AIO coolers I have ever installed in a computer system. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to get their temps under control. I am primarily a workstation, coding, multi-VM, type of power user, who happens to play games every once in a while. Water cooling is not just for gaming and is a powerful component to have for any type of user, so don't let such a simple misconception keep you from enjoying prolonged component life and quieter system operation. There are a few key things to watch out for though:1) This matters more for those who will mount the radiator at the front of their case: When measuring your setup to determine whether the rubber hoses are long enough, do not take a linear measurement from the area in your case where the radiator will go over to the CPU. The rubber hoses are thick and the way they are mounted with a 90 degree elbow at the CPU bracket do not let them lay very flat, they maintain a rather rigid curve to the radiator. Instead, measure more in a half moon shape from the radiator area over to the CPU. This will give you a better idea if you are going to have enough length to work with. If you happen to be mounting this on the rear or top of the case where the radiator is in closer proximity to the CPU, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.2) When you first turn this on, do not be surprised if there is a lot of noise coming from the motor in the CPU block, including vibrations, gurgling, bubbling, gremlins, gnomes, or other unnatural sounds that may come from it. During shipping there is no telling how many bubbles have been spread throughout the hoses, radiator, and CPU block. As long as it sounds like something is moving in there, let it run for several minutes. It took about 5 minutes before the pump on my system had managed to cycle enough fluid to situate all of the air bubbles where they belong, and the system went dead quiet as soon as it did. It hasn't made a peep since and has been running silent and flawless for days. If you are concerned about thermal damage to the processor, remove the RAM from your motherboard so it fails to POST but still maintains power to accessory fans. This will allow you to clear the system without putting any actual thermal stress on the CPU. If you're still nervous after the bubbling sounds go away, boot to BIOS and watch your CPU temps from there for a few more minutes to make sure everything looks good.3) The CPU block comes with some thermal compound already installed and ready to go, which is great if you so happened to forget to buy any before wanting to install this kit. So right out of the box, this is ready to go which I thought was quite nice but not clearly advertised anywhere. Now, for those who intend to use this for more high-end processors, heavy gaming, overclocking, etc then I might suggest having an extra plastic scraper handy and scraping this off the copper block so you can cleanly place your own desired thermal cooling paste of choice (Arctic, Deepcool, Grizzly, etc.) on instead.4) It doesn't take a super nerd or computer genius to install this, though they may be able to complete the process faster. If you take your time and go slow, just about anyone can do this on their first try without issues. When in doubt, check out Google or YouTube - there are tons of walk through videos for installing AIO (including this exact one) which cover just about any question you could possibly have.

Edit 06/06/2018 Well im not sure how long this has been running in my system,but it has to be well over a year,and i still love it,there has not been a single issue with it at all.Pump is still silent and rad and fans keep it nice and chilly. Since adding this i did take out my 980TI/SC SLI setup and put an MSI1080-TI TRIO in it,man do the RGBs match up perfectly,looks stunning together,I just wanted to let you know so far the longevity of this AIO is top notchthis is taken from a comment i made on a 1 star post-but it works for a main review as welli dont have the instructions handy,but if you have a clue they are not hard to follow,it clearly states how long the hoss are-if you didnt check for your application that is your own fault,the water block felt fine and installation was simple,yes you lose a usb 2.0 header but no big deal if you have a decent MOBO that has more than 1,it worked flawlessly on a fresh install,then once i downloaded the drivers for it it is absolutely beautiful,on top of all that it keeps my 4790K at mid 20s C at idle and not above 70 while benchmarking-no it isnt cheap but well worth the money.I have used this in the Thermaltake x-31 and x-71 mid and full size cases-perfect fit and looks awesome,and as i mentioned its cooling properties are awesome.

This review is for the Floe Triple Riing RGB 360.I have this cooler for a year now and it works flawlessly, just bought another one for my wife's new build. (Update 2021: Both coolers work without issues for 2 and 3 years respectively.)I wanted a really quiet/silent build, so here's my review from that angle. (For context, this AIO system is the only mechanical moving part in my PC, the power supply and graphics card all stop their fans at low-medium loads + I have an open Thermaltake P3 case, so I'm really nit picky when it comes to noise)Fans: Using their software, you can reduce the fans RPM to the 500 range, at which point they are virtually silent, even with your ear right next to the fans.Pump: The pump is another story. I was pretty disappointed as it made an audible buzzing noise that could be heard from several feet (I have an open Thermaltake house). I eventually found a solution: In BIOS, change the CPU fan mode from PWM to DC, and decrease the voltage all the way to 40% (5 Volts). This will slow pump RPM to the 1100 range. This significantly cuts back on pump noise so it's really only with the ears close up.The cooling is really efficient even at these reduced RPMs, never had any issues with my Intel 8700K (not overclocked).The RGB lightning looks awesome, the software is not great, but works.Overall, really satisfied with my purchase.
