Amazing deal on both black and white 280mm ARGB versions of this AIO. Even cheaper than Liquid Freezer II 280 and LF III 240 versions.

Nice, I'm replacing a Phantom Spirit 120SE which is not cooling a 13600k as much as I would like.
Could it be the rig just needs better airflow, fan curves, repasting, or cleaning?
Nice nice, RGB will make it 'faster'.
Cool story
why the normal none rgb black one isnt on sale :(
Buy the black ARGB and turn the RGB off haha. I have a 240 black non RGB in a murdered out build, it looks sick!
Now need the 420 variant to go on sale
Generally speaking, is fan cooler still better?
In general people only go water cooling for the aesthetics
I see. Some fan coolers also look good nowadays unlike a few years back
How general are you speaking? AIOs tend to be quieter under load and with some CPUs they allow longer duration boost clocks.
No, thermal density issues on modern cpus make the largest fan coolers (DRP4, NH-D15) worse than modern 240mm aios nowadays.
Towers can only effectively do ~200w on lga1700 and am5, 240mm aios (mystique, atmos, LT etc) can do 300w+.
Coldplate + Waterblock are just far more effective than Coldplate + Heatpipes at trasnsferring the heat out of the CPU
even if the radiator's cooling ability is about is equiv to a large finstack.That advice only applied before AM4, where chiplets + non monolitic design became mainstream.
On some edge cases like 5800x and 7700x, which are single chiplet (double heat density), good 120mm aios now outclass the dual-tower air coolers that were previously competitive with 240mm aios.
The fan on mine (the detachable fan above the pump) is starting to make a weird noise randomly, I've unplugged and plug it back in and it goes away for a while, if it happens again I'll contact support. It's only a couple of months old.
If anyone needs a 360, three fans, the Thermaltake TH360 V2 ARGB is on sale too for $139.
Edit:
In saying that, the Thermalright Frozen Warframe 360 is what I bought and is also on sale for $139.
How big of an upgrade this would be over a NZXT Kraken x53 ?
Unless your current AIO is faulty, i wouldnt bother.
Anything else of note (EOFY sale) at PC Case Gear?
RGB for performance.
be aware these v3 arctic coolers dont support older cpu sockets such as 15xx
Good price but IMO not worth getting this over something like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE which is like $50…
Got this cooler a couple months. Overall, very happy with it. Although you should double-check ram height clearance with case size as these come with quite a thick radiator compared with other AIO's and coupled with the 140mm fan size, you may have issues top-mounting the radiator with standard size memory kits or motherboards with large VRM heat sinks.
How does one double check this?
nice price! always wanted one of these arctic cooler aio.. but ended up going NH-D15 chromax.black due to one of these not being on sale/available at the time
