I have bought it recently and working just fine. In fact I think this is the best prodcut on the market, when it comes ration between price range and quality. Ofc there are better product which makes less noise or worse cheap products. As far as I can tell, design is very much same as the most other similar products and it has aRGB lights. More importantly its actually very well built. But the fan noise was not really loud, but still you can tell the difference from Corsair, Arctic fans. For me the noise was not really bothering, since I have also PC case with sound absorb. Really Really loved the product. It wont fry your system, cause it will automatically shutdown, if cooler does not work. After I installed the the cooler, it was also not starting or shutting down immedeatly. My problem was like showed in the video, I did not inserted the fan pins correctly. I had switched pins of Pump an CPU fan. Now its working perfectly. I would definetly reccomend it. Just best product! Affordable, well built, cool design. I would say just the materials of this thing would cost 50 bucks. but the whole thing for just 75 bucks? too good deal man.
it works with MSI mystic in addition to all other fans on the pc so id assume it works the same with asus aura as its just the same software for mobo arbg controller for asus mobos instead of msi. @@jackshardware
same sentiment here. it's much quieter than the deepcool ak620 i was using, cools just as well if not better (unsure, the ak620 kept a 13700k as cool as one could get as does this, this just costs teh same and is less bulky so i switched and sold the ak620). i dont mind a bit of noise, i cannot hear it through my headphones anyway, but for those that want a completely silent pc this is far closer silent than the peerless assassin 2 or the ak620. my brother has a 200 something dollar corsair aio and the noise is pretty much no different to that. i also grabbed thermalright's 5 dollar exhaust fans off amazon cause i figured why not, they're 5 bucks, and they're keeping the positive pressure in my case as well as the deepcool f ans i was using prior so i sold those too. deepcool is a great brand but i dont know if it's the case that every other brand is way overpricing their coolers (i know noctua is) or that for some reason thermalright is just able to produce and sell these high quality coolers and fans for extremely low prices and still remain profitable but either way im a thermalright stan from here on out.
I know this comment is old but would you happen to know like what the cords are like is the 4 squared cord the main power cord and the other 2 cords that are wrapped together I know ones for the Argb or whatever what’s the other one for im not sure if it’s the 3 circled one or the 3 pin one
Have you been using this regularly since you posted the video? I have been debating buying this for weeks already but im concerned about the long term quality of it, i mean its a 3rd of the price as other water coolers lol I currently am air cooling with phantom spirit 120, but the 7800x3d can still run hotter then i would like during some scenarios. From all the charts ive seen, this can give you on average 8-10° avg cooler temps, that would out me right in the zone i would like to be in for worst case scenarios. Any update to the quality/life of this product would be greatly appreciated
@@jackshardware Would you believe if I told you only NOW I got a notification on this? Anyhow thank you! Yeah I figured out like a day after the post lol. the seam wasn't very clear on mine, and this was the first time I ever built a PC rig so I was quite unga bunga not understand cap.
Belive me u don't want that. I have an ryzen 7600x and the temps in prime 95 are horrible (95 celsius ) and the noise level is way to load, as u can expect for 53 db. Its to load for my ears and im heard-of-hearing!
Just tried installing mine and it only had 3 red AM4 standoffs. I have no idea how to get another one, ive used one of the smaller blue intel ones for now but worried it will cause issues with contact on the cpu.
I bought the 240. I have an Asus plus wifi x570 board fans work but lights are stuck on red and green along with case fans. DIYPC Q10 case has had me stumped for a week. Bought a thermal right argb controller still same issue persist.
@@jackshardware I did but it wasn't able to recognize the aio. My case fans also lit up green/red with only the 4pin pwm connected so I'm not sure what is going on. At this point I planned to return the case to newegg and the thermal right aio as well. I have not been able to get anyone to confirm that thermal right is compatible with aura software. I also tried Openrgb, signal rgb, msi center. I have seen these working fine for others but in all instances they were using a gigabyte board.
I have been using it ever since and it works fine. I haven't heard of any leakage issue. If there is a problem or will probably be how long until the pump fails.
Aqua elite is v3, which means they have made revisions to it. That doesn't necessarily mean it using new generation technology. I'm not sure which one is better.
Currently trying to install this but i have 2 ARGB connectors (one from the pump and one from the fans) which one did you connect to the ARGB header? Fans or pumps?
You should be able to daisy chain the fans together, and the argb connector for the fans and radiator. There should then be only 3 connections to the motherboard for the fans, the pump and argb.
@@jackshardware Awesome, that's exactly how I did it (My motherboard has the ARGB header listed as D_LED1 and D_LED2, after some googling it turned out those are actually the ARGB headers. Thanks a lot!
The fan power cables daisy chain together and so do the argb cables. Then they just plug into your mother's. The fans plug into the cpu fannheader and the pump plugs into a separate fan header. Check your manual for the correct one.
@@jackshardwaredo you know where the two male and female 3 pin connectors off the pump go? Do they connect to one of the fans off the radiator? Any help is appreciated.
@@dudekissmyass i have the same aio, and the thing is, if you keep the radiator lower/even level as the pump, the temp should stay around 50 even on high process use... i have the ryzen 5 7600 and it stays cool in EVERY situation, HOWEVER, whenever i raise the radiator, the temp average raises with about 25 degrees, so, it seems to me the pump pressure isnt the best... so my advise is, keep the radiator, even or better yet, lower than the pump for maximum efficiency.
Man… every body that did a installation with this cool skipped or didn’t show the import parts of wiring.. so annoying
I’m trying it right now. You ever figure it out? I can’t figure out what to do with the two male female 3 pin connectors off the pump.

I have it on my test bench with a 5900x and it is still working great there.
@jackshardware thanks!
How do you turn on/off the RGB on the fans and aio?
The AIO seems kind of loud when you were gaming. Are there any AIO's that are quiet and dont' make a lot of noise when gaming ?
If you are mainly going to game you can turn the fan speed down a lot without impacting cooling very much. This will reduce the noise.
Is the cooler have a temp sensor and it’s running ?with out cpu just connected to motherboard and thx
Are the fans pre-installed as exhaust or intake on the radiator?
They are pre installed and set up as exhaust.
Looks to be exactly the same as their air coolers for the mouting soloution.
I think I tried to mount it using the peerless assassin hardware, but it didn't make good contact with the cpu.
@@jackshardware ah dang, I was hoping to save myself some time and effort. Fair enough
How did you remove the ARGB caps off the male ports? I can't seem to find out how to remove them and the manual doesn't help.
You mean the plastic covers? You just pull them off.

@kat_lynx glad you were able to figure it out. I understand how frustrating it can be.
What fans come with the radiator? Im trying to make all my fans in my case the same
From the description on Amazon they are tl-e12b-s v2 high static pressure fans.
How do the temperatures compare to something like a Peerless assasin or phantom spirit?
Here's my video where I tested the peerless assassin on my 7900x. th-cam.com/video/c9KpEzRWS8Q/w-d-xo.html
Can you test it with normalized dB level? Put your dB meter at static place, and adjust the speed during let's say gaming loop or Prime95 to 34 dB.
Belive me u don't want that. I have an ryzen 7600x and the temps in prime 95 are horrible (95 celsius ) and the noise level is way to load, as u can expect for 53 db.
Its to load for my ears and im heard-of-hearing!
Just tried installing mine and it only had 3 red AM4 standoffs. I have no idea how to get another one, ive used one of the smaller blue intel ones for now but worried it will cause issues with contact on the cpu.
I would not do that incase you put too much pressure and Crack or warp something. Can you return it and get another one.
Hello! I had a quick question on how to install water of the cooler. Like where do I put the water since it’s a water cooler?
It's prefilled.
Great Video, well it work fine with 14700K ?
For gaming out will be perfectly fine.
I have 14700k with PA 120 its not good , but I do manage to keep the temps in gaming less than 85
New to PC building so this might be a dumb question 😭 but would this be good for a Ryzen 7 7700x? Or should I go with thermalright’s Phantom Spirit?
There are no dumb questions. You could go with either. The aio will probably give you better temperatures.
@@jackshardware ohh okay thank you so much 🙌🏼🙌🏼
are there replacements for the blue metal thingies on the tubes? I really dont like the blue
I don't think so. And that would require taking the fittings off to replace them.
how come my fans don't light up when I'm connecting them to the motherboard argb header? do i need a separate fan and rgb hub?
Everything can connect right to your motherboard. Try a different argb connector on the motherboard. If that doesn't work try the fans individually.
Did it come with thermalpaste pre applied? Or with a thermalpaste tube?
It came with one or the other. I'm pretty sure it was a tube since that what the air coolers came with.
so how was it so far sir? no issues so far?
No issues so far.
I bought the 240. I have an Asus plus wifi x570 board fans work but lights are stuck on red and green along with case fans. DIYPC Q10 case has had me stumped for a week. Bought a thermal right argb controller still same issue persist.
Have you downloaded asus aura sync

it is possible to set up your favorite led colour? it has anye remote controll for color effects?
It uses your motherboard argb software.
what about the rgb connectors how many pins can they daisy chain do i need a hub or splitter
they can chain, ill count them tomorrow
@@BadTripNLany news on the count? I’m stuck trying to figure out why they aren’t lighting up
does it have screws for tightening radiator to case? or i need to buy it somewhere
It comes with everything you need.
Did thermal paste come with the cooler?
Yes it does.
A loose SATA cable was included. must also be used ?
I can't find the cable for mine but I believe it's just for powering the fans if you don't have the headers on your motherboard.
@@jackshardwarecan't tell you how long it took me to find this answer thanks. I was freaking out because everything worked but I had the sata cable
Are you still using it? If so do you think a product like this can be faulty and leak?
I have been using it ever since and it works fine. I haven't heard of any leakage issue. If there is a problem or will probably be how long until the pump fails.
@@jackshardwareand when would the pump fail , can U give a years rang like if I bought it today would it last 4 years ?
I need help the fans spin but the fans don’t light up any tips?
Make sure rgb is plugged in. Your motherboard should have software to control rgb as well.
Is there already Cooling Fluid in it?
Yes it's prefilled. All aio's are prefilled.
Which is better prism or aqua elite from thermalright. Both have 360mm. I think the aqua uses gen 3 while prism is gen 1.
Aqua elite is v3, which means they have made revisions to it. That doesn't necessarily mean it using new generation technology. I'm not sure which one is better.
@@jackshardware but I should be good with the prism?

What size should go with the I5 9600K, the 240mm or 360mm, pls?
If your case can fit it I would go 360. 240 would be fine. The 9600k can draw a lot of power.
what thermel paste does it come with?
Thermalright has their own that it comes with.
is it enough for a 220w max consuption ?
My 5900x hits 200 watts and it can handle that. It should be able to handle 220.
I can’t find anything online how do to put the wiring together??
The fan power cables daisy chain together and so do the argb cables. Then they just plug into your mother's. The fans plug into the cpu fannheader and the pump plugs into a separate fan header. Check your manual for the correct one.
@@jackshardware thank you. I am a newb most vids skip this part my manual only has instructions on placing the cooler onto the cpu with brackets.
@@jackshardwaredo you know where the two male and female 3 pin connectors off the pump go? Do they connect to one of the fans off the radiator? Any help is appreciated.
Does it come with thermalpaste?
Yes.
Thanks Jack
Great video, +1 sub keep it up 💪
Thank you. Appreciate the support.
does it come with the thermal paste?
Yes it does.
@@jackshardware Thank you!
Usefull, thanks
does it come with argb splitter
It either came with splitters or you could daisy chain them together. I think power had splitters and argb could be daisy chained together.
would this work with a ryzen cpu
Yes. It works with am4 and am5.
i bought the black 240 version on amazon for 51$
They are a great deal for an aio. The price is on par or cheaper than air cooling.
OMG those fans that you have I bought them for $12.99 and they came BROKE
I have bought several packs of thermalright rgb fans and they have all arrived undamaged and work great.

Plugs into your motherboard argb header and uses the motherboard manufacturer software.
