Good AIO, Great Price
So far so good! Been running for a couple months now with no issues. Keeps my overclocked CPU cool and quiet. Price is excellent

Great price and preformance
Cpu was climbing in temps before getting this. Now I havnt seen it get over 42c. This is a nice upgrade over the stock ryzen cooler. Im also glad thermal paste was included with this. I recommend this for the the low price compared to other “name brand” coolers

Surprisingly Good Cooling at A Fraction The Cost
Having owned this almost a year, it is time to provide my long-term thoughts. I purchased this to cool an AM4 CPU in my homelab, so it has been running almost 24/7 since installation with the included thermal paste.Mounting and installation were straightforward and easy to complete. The LED’s on the fan worked well, as did the fan, however the case I utilized for this build did not have windows, so the LED’s remained off most of the operational life.Temperature performance for this cooler was slightly below (~8c) that of the Lumen S24 cooler I have on my other computer. As the resvoir is half the size I would say that is comparitively an excellent result.On average the CPU idles around 31c, that is with multiple servers and containers running constantly on the machine that constitute about 10-12% CPU consistently.The only negative note I have is that the fan seemingly failed at around the 8 month mark. However, the fan included is a standard 120mm size and was easily replaced. I haven’t noticed any issues since.I would say that dollar for dollar you probably can’t beat this cooler for low intensity use cases. I can’t speak for CPU intensive, long term use, but it seems stable, well built, and provides numbers lower than expected.Oh, and it’s just about as quiet as every other AIO water cooler, so give it a shot (I may have to try some others from Thermalright myself).

Performs Well, No flaws, Tubing is Easy to Manage.
Perfect. I have a Ryzen 5 9800X, and I run it fairly hard. Slight overclocking, and in heavy games. Cyberpunk, etc. I’ve never seen it pass 80 C with this cooler. Absolutely perfect. That price is awesome too.It looks fine, and fits perfect. You have to press fairly hard with the mount, at least for my Ryzen 5, but it has been secure and the tubing is great. I love how it comes with removable tube management.I could buy one of these every year and still save value compared to similar AIOs.Will buy from this brand more often.

Great item
It runs well and keeps my cpu under temps, very quiet and cheap but durable. And compared to most worth the price.

Low cost, high performance
This is a nice low cost AIO that has lowered my temps about 20c over the stock Wraith cooler. I was able to enable Precision Boost Overdrive without any overheating, it stays around 75c under max load. I am using this with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500. It has controllable RGB but since I put this in my ‘home server’, I’m not really ever looking at it, but it does look kinda cool. It is nice and quiet, I don’t hear it at all. Installation was pretty easy, and it does come with thermal paste, though I used Artic Silver 5.

Thermaltake ftw…again.
Keeps temps around 38C-40C under full load on a gen 9 Intel. Runs silent and if mounted in the correct orientation you’ll never get that annoying gurgle sound. Works great out of the box, super easy instructions and installation, and has been running smoothly during long gaming sessions for almost a year now. Great job Thermaltake!

This works great and priced great too
When you have limited space in a case this AIO works wonders for getting that little bit extra cooling over a fan, it keeps it really cool for my wife’s 12700kf about 10c lower than a fan cooler did before the AIO

This Thermalright Aqua Elite 120 V3 AIO CPU Cooler is absolutely amazing keeps the temps down.. comes with mounting hard ware backplate/AMD & INTEL brackets (intel motherboard 1150 OR 1700) and thermal paste. although u definitely want to order extra thermal paste just in case cus the thermal paste it came with wasn’t the greatest was more on its drying out side… bought it in October 2025 at the price of $56.08 CAD
