    Does its job

    What a nightmare to assemble, however once everything is in place, it does its job properly, mounted on a ryzen 7 5700X, 62 degrees max on an OCCT.. small but effective..
    Happy with my purchase.

    Very good product

    My old MSI CoreLiquid 240R V2 died, so I was looking for a replacement. The Thermalright Aqua Elite V3 does an extremely good job for a price that beats all competition. I highly recommend it.

    The perfect AIO to tame my 9800X3D!

    I went with this Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 V3 to cool my Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and the result is beyond my expectations. This processor is known for being power-hungry and getting hot very quickly, but this AIO handles it with incredible ease: temperatures stay under control even under prolonged heavy load, it's impressive.
    What surprised me the most is how quiet it is. Even when I push the machine to the max, the fans stay discreet. We're far from the turbines you sometimes hear on other watercoolings in this range. Real everyday comfort, and especially for this price!
    And on the looks side, the white version is gorgeous, it fits perfectly into my build. Careful finishing, hassle-free installation.
    In short, a quality/price/performance/silence ratio that few AIO can match. I recommend it with my eyes closed!

    Thermalright Aqua Elite 120 V3

    I chose this small water cooling system to cool an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K processor mounted in a SilverStone SUGO14 SST-SG14B "mini" case. I replaced the original fan with an Arctic P12 Pro and applied Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme thermal paste.
    After 30 minutes of stress testing under FurMark at a frequency of 5GHz for the 6 P-Cores and 4.6GHz for the 8 E-Cores (maximum power consumed by the processor: 188 W), the maximum temperature reached by the processor was 90°C (maximum operating temperature specified by the manufacturer for this processor: 105°C) at an ambient temperature of 29°C! I think it would be difficult to do better with other cooling systems in such a small volume, with such a high ambient temperature! At this price, the Thermalright Aqua Elite 120 V3 is very attractive (even when you add the price of the Arctic P12 Pro fan)!
