Thermalright Aqua Elite 240 White V3 AIO CPU Cooler, 240mm Liquid Cooling, ARGB PWM Fans, Intel LGA1150-1200/2011/1700, AMD AM4/AM5

I recently upgraded my cooling setup and decided to go with the Thermalright Aqua Elite 240 White V3 AIO CPU Cooler, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! This cooler has exceeded my expectations in terms of both performance and aesthetics. If you're in the market for an effective and visually striking cooler, this is a solid choice.Pros:Outstanding Cooling Performance: The cooling capabilities of the Aqua Elite 240 White V3 are fantastic. My CPU temperatures have dropped significantly under load, and even during long gaming sessions or heavy multitasking, I’ve noticed temperatures staying well within safe limits. It’s a major upgrade compared to my previous air cooler.Quiet Operation: The cooler operates incredibly quietly, even under load. The fans are efficient and produce minimal noise, which is a huge plus if you’re looking to keep your PC as quiet as possible. The PWM function ensures that the fans only ramp up when necessary, keeping noise levels low during regular tasks.Stunning Aesthetics with ARGB: The white design paired with the RGB lighting is simply gorgeous. The ARGB effects are vibrant and customizable, and they add a clean, modern look to my build. If you have a white or light-themed PC setup, this cooler will perfectly complement your system, making it look sleek and stylish.Easy Installation: The installation process was straightforward, even for a first-time AIO cooler user. The instructions were clear, and the included mounting hardware made it simple to install on both Intel and AMD sockets. The radiator is well-built and fits easily into most mid and full tower cases.Solid Build Quality: Thermalright has done an excellent job with the build quality of this cooler. From the sturdy radiator to the durable tubing, everything feels premium and built to last. The materials used for both the cooler and the fans are top-notch, ensuring longevity and reliability.Cons:Tubing Length: The tubing length is generally fine for most cases, but in some larger tower cases, it could feel slightly short, especially if your case layout requires the radiator to be mounted further away from the CPU socket. It's not a major issue, but something to keep in mind depending on your case size.RGB Software Compatibility: While the ARGB lighting is stunning, you may need compatible software from your motherboard manufacturer to fully control and customize the lighting effects. This isn't a problem for most users with modern motherboards, but it's something to consider if you don't have ARGB headers available.

Crazy impressed by this cooler for how cheap it was. It literally works better than my $200 Corsair one EVER did, CPU is cool and stable, and the fans are strong but quiet. A+++

I build and sell gaming PCs for a living and a LOT of my builds are based around aesthetics. If you have a white case with a glass side this cooler is the ultimate addition to it. The quality and craftsmanship are decent. Installation is a breeze in both AMD and Intel based platforms. The RGB fans on the cooler work well with the other budget white thermalright fans to complete the package. I have bought several of these and will continue to. It cools just as well as a Corsair or Coolermaster for a fraction of the price. The fans are not obnoxiously loud either. A++

This AIO water cooler is definitely worth the price. It is quiet & well built. It is pretty easy to install and fits my mid tower well. When it comes to cooling, it’s only slightly better than the thermalright tower cooler I had in before that was $20 less. But it DOES keep my CPU cooler overall. While gaming I almost never see temps over 65c. However I find the look of this AIO to be much nicer aesthetically speaking than a tower cooler and it also takes up much less room in the case then the tower cooler does.This works very well with SignalRGB and OpenRGB.The only cons with this AIO is the mounting brackets are a bit ugly and the hoses included are just a tad bit too short. They should be an inch or 2 longer in my opinion. Also, the fans included are set up to blow air out of the case, instead of taking in fresh air from outside of the case, which is why I had to flip the fans the other direction, which, in my opinion Makes the cooler look worse. They should include an option for intake or exhaust fans with the purchase To accommodate different set ups. These cons are the only reason I didn’t give this a 5 star review. So if none of these things matter to you, consider this review 5 stars.Overall, I highly recommend this for a budget AIO water cooler.

For being close to $50, i was really surprised at the quality this cooler had. It looks incredibly beautiful when installed and the directions are pretty easy to follow. Ive bought several due to how happy i have been with the first.The first one i purchased was installed about 6 months ago and has been working great since

Coolings good and performance is good but it’s a little hard to install even though if you buy any of these it will be hard to install. Pretty strong, brightness is good, and it will fit most cases if you measure correctly.

Cools my brothers 5800x3d he has running non stop with ease.For how dirt cheap it is surprisingly great performance for being kinda ugly
