Excellent AIO at any price, but insanely cheap! in fact, the price was so low that I initially diregarded it, but then caught a Youtube review that sung it's praises, so I took the chance, and I'm glad I did. It installed super-easy into my AMD Ryzen 7800X3D build, looks great, and keeps my temps at 42-45 degrees at idle. Love the infinity mirror over the cooler. Have had my rig up and running for over 2 months now with no issues and everything running super-cool. Read more
Keeps my i9-13900KF under stress at 83C (and idle at 35C). Previously, with a good air cooler, it reached 96C and 45C idle. So for the price this cooler is pretty great. Fans are quiet, and of course they can ramp up if needed. I cannot hear the pump at all. Installation was surprisingly easy. I don't care much about the LED, but it works perfectly with my ASUS motherboard. Read more
The media could not be loaded. it does the job by cooling my ryzen 7800x3d, at full load CPU temps are below 75 degrees Celcius, the radiator fan and the pump are really quiet while gaming, and the rgb is nice, overall a great value for a 120mm AIO, works great looks nice and easy install.

Seems they took to heart alot of the complaints over the years which is good. Easy install. Instructions were ok.. had to figure out things myself based on my old cooler tho. Extra cables were confusing with no description l. The fan runs very quiet. Strong airflow. And is keeping my i7 8700k very cool 30c. Just installed tho so hopefully it lasts Read more
I have been using and testing this AIO since I received it shortly after Black Friday. Please note that my computer sits on a separate platform next to my computer, so it's about 2.5 feet away from my ears, and it's contained in a Corsair 5000x RGB. Intel 12700k CPU, Asus TG H670 Pro Wifi D4 mobo. I ran this in all 3 positions (top, side, front), with tubes up and down (front & side). Even during Cinebench, LinPack Extreme, Time Spy and Prime 95, the temperatures ranged no higher than 89C with ambient (room) temperature around 23C. It was always quiet although, after the few 3 months, I noticed an occasional harmonic resonance tone, which I assume was from the fans, and I little bit of noise from the pump. The best position for both the CPU and GPU in my case was on the side, exhausting the air, with the tubes going from the side of the block to the top of the radiator. Indeed, it was also one of the best positions overall, as it also did a good job keeping both the VRM heatsinks and motherboard cooler than 6 of the 10 positions I have tested so far. This is the first AIO I have tested, and you can watch my initial video about it on YT on my channel, The PC Expert Amateur. There will be at least one follow-up video with technical results once I complete the other 10 tests I need to do. Please note that WelshyTech (YouTube) deemed this and the Frozen Magic Scenic V2 to be loud, but he has his computer on his desk less than a foot from his head. He also noted that the MS V2 is slightly more powerful than the Notte. The mounting system is a bit awkward. At one point, I had to reorient the block and was unable to see (that's the bad thing about putting it on the floor) that I had missed putting two of the mounting screws through the bottom holes for the block, which resulted in bending them and slightly damaging the blue plastic stand-offs. Also, the knurled nuts are easy to turn by hand, and also have a large Philips cross for a screwdriver, but it is very easy to have them drop down to the bottom of the case. Aside from that, it's not bad, especially considering that you can mount the block in any orientation (I suggest top or right side). If you have a LONG graphics card and want to mount it on the front or side, you will likely have to vertically mount the GC (and if the case design is poor, as the 5000x's is, you will struggle to find a mount that won't choke the fans because it's too close to the left side panel) in order to do so. If you want to do a front mount with the tubes going to the bottom of the radiator (i.e. the radiator is positioned so that the tube apertures are at the bottom, not the top), it will probably be a tight fit, especially if you have a very long case, you may not be able to do it without modifying the tubes, so make sure that the block is mounted with the tubes on the side. Before finalizing the mounting of the block and rad, make sure to verify it will fit without putting too much pressure on the fittings on the block and rad. The block does have swiveling fittings for the tubes, so that does help, but it can still be a bit difficult. Read more
I have come to really trust Thermalright brand. This is my third Thermalright product and all of them have performed really well, and the prices are substantially lower than comparable competitions. This AIO was packaged well in a fairly large box. Everything was well organized, and installation was fairly straightforward. Construction of the unit itself is top notch. While someone may not like the appearance of the pump on the hosts, I actually really like the fact that the pump is not on top of the CPU; the hosts can dampen any vibration coming from the pump. A minor issue is the fact that the cables for the fans are all loose and not bundle together. But they can all be hidden below the MB and out of sight. If you have a hot running CPU like 13th or 14th generation i7 (I have i7 13700K), this AIO can really tame the temperature. Idle temperature is mid 20's C while upper 50's to lower 60's under load (Topaz AI, LrC, and Photoshop). Temperature can spike to mid 80's for a second or so and then drop down to 70's when cooling catches up. I am sure some tuning of the fan and CPU parameters can further minimize the spike, but it does not bother me at all. This AIO has eliminated my concern regarding potential thermal damage of the CPU. There is always the potential of leakage especially down the road, but I cannot comment on that at this point. Read more
Hands down the best budget AIO on the market. A fraction of the cost of other brands, with just as good performance. Everything feels quality, and the aRGB screen is tasteful. This is my second Thermalright AIO, and it won't be my last. Read more
Very nice product keeping my cpu to good temperatures and looks really nice fits perfectly on all cases and fans are preinstalled Read more
