This appears to be an improved version of the popular Thermalright Aqua Elite - there are some other Thermalright 360's on discount as well but couldn't find a deal post on this specific model which in a previous thread posting someone had mentioned might be better than the v3 deal floating around Smilie

Good price for a good performing cooler but I ended up returning mine because it would randomly make annoying oscillation sounds. Not sure if it was the pump but I think it was actually the fans which isn't uncommon with 360 AIOs. I ended up getting a bequiet 280 AIO and am happy with it.

Hmmm thanks for the input! Will keep an ear out for it as I picked one up for my kids gaming PC in hopes of keeping the rig nice and silent (moving them from a 7600x3d to a 9800x3d so expect the added heat output was gonna add to fan noise being generated lol)

Yea the thing about having 3 120mm fans right next to each other is that they can produce vibrations due to coupling effects. I believe the more expensive AIOs use special materials to help dampen this effect. But overall I'm a fan of 280 AIOs now. 140mm fans are quieter for the same cooling performance, and 2 fans are less likely to make weird oscillations compared to 3. I think it's unfortunate 280 AIOs seem to be fading out in favor of 360s.

I bought this a few weeks ago since I thought the price couldn't get any lower (was $54 then). It certainly does the job with my 113W PPT 9700X but is lacking on convenience features. All the fans have the same length wires with a splitter for both the RGBLED and fan control, which is a bit of a wiring mess you have to bundle up and tuck away. I had to get an extension for the LED because the furthest fan limited the overall length of the cable due to how they have to be chained with splitters. The fans also get up to almost 2000 RPM which can be pretty loud, with not much benefit beyond like 70% for a ton more noise. One of mine also has a little wobble to it.
The included thermal paste is good though, and replacing it with Duronaut made 0 difference in my load temps even after I tried repasting it a couple times. All in all a great deal for a mid-range cooler at the cheapest price around, but honestly the deal on a $34 Phantom Spirit is better and you don't have to worry about the performance degrading over time and more points of failure like you get with an AIO.
