Thermalright Frozen Prism 240 Black ARGB AIO Water Cooler,Liquid CPU Cooler, 2×120mm PWM Fans Water Cooling System,1850RPM High Speed,Compatible with AM4/AM5,Intel LGA1150/1151/1200/2011/1700/1851

I'll be upfront, I bought this for the heck of it. I was using a tri-stack aircooler that many regarded as legendary. But after one of it's fans died, I decided to browse for a new cooler. Seeing many aircoolers lose LGA 2011 compatibility stung a bit, and seeing that the only options left were high in price stung even worse.Then I stumbled upon this gem. At first, I thought it was some sort of scam, or a poorly made product. Seeing how, especially these days, many vendors such as Corsair would gladly sell you basically the same product for $150 or more. But for $48 at the time of writing... why not give it a shot?I'm not unfamiliar with Thermalright, as I've used their air coolers previously and found them to be an impeccable value, albeit with unclear mounting instructions.The box contains a cardboard placeholder and some foam, simple but effective. I took out all of the necessary paperwork and mounting parts, and began reading the manual.It was decently laid out with a page for each socket, and the parts were labeled with letters, referenced in the manual. Not bad! Mounting my 2011-3 brackets was pretty straightforward.After mounting, I hooked up the two fans with a PWM splitter, attached to the CPU fan header. I hooked my pump into a case fan PWM, which I set to run at max speed. I always put my pump to full speed to prevent any speed fluctuations, as the gears in most AIO pumps are very fragile to changes in torque.It's overall build quality is impressive; braided hoses with well sealed metal ends. The fans are already screwed in, with their correct orientation, and the finish on the radiator feels smooth to the touch. Albeit the mounting brackets for LGA 2011 had some rough edges that could cut you if you weren't a seasoned system builder.After that, I took my 8-core xeon, and gave it a thorough stress test in Aida64 (CPU/FPU/RAM/Cache). My 1660v3 was at 4.3ghz, and 1.220v at the time of the first test. After 1 hour, it *peaked* at 61 degrees. I was worried none of my threads were being utilized, but the cores all had load, and the idle temps were around 22-23 before starting.Unreal. For this price? What are you giving up?Simple. It's not RGB. It does have an ARGB header for the screen on the pump to do temp readouts, but I couldn't be bothered. My board is too old to have that anyhow. Alongside the fans being rather noisy even at low speeds, but they push an insane amount of air for being cheaper included fans.But... considering the performance at a fairly heavy overclock, what happens when you punish it severely?I chugged my pot of coffee, still scalding hot, and managed to put my chip at an eyebrow-scorching 1.455v. Pinned it to 4.5ghz, opened Aida64, and let it rip.Max core temp? 87 degrees. Package hit 89.After one hour, at 1.455v, at literally 125% of it's base clock. On a platform known for making power bills turn into a medical bill.If you paired this with a good set of quieter, high-RPM fans in push-pull, I'd see no issue with this cooling chips that draw 200+ watts under load effectively.To say I am beyond impressed is an understatement. I am awestruck. I've used other cheap AIO's, but this unit is something else.Do not let the price scare you. It is not a scam, and in fact, it'll gladly leave you another $100 in your budget for that higher-tier GPU.Buy it.

This Thermalright Frozen Prism 240 AIO cooler is fantastic! I use it every day, and it performs flawlessly. My CPU temps dropped significantly, staying cool even under heavy load. The dual 120mm fans are quiet yet efficient, and the ARGB lighting looks awesome without being overpowering.I charge up my rig in the morning, and it keeps everything cool throughout the day during gaming and multitasking. The installation was straightforward, and everything fit perfectly on my setup. If you're looking for a high-performance AIO cooler with style, this is a solid choice. Highly recommended!

Great colors, super quiet, and very efficient and effective for CPU cooling. There was a slight hiccup with the incorrect product being sent initially, but the customer service was phenomenal and went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of.I will update further later on after I've used it for a more extended period of time in order to give a more long term review

Was looking for a cheap AIO to replace my fan cooler. This product was extremely affordable and fairly easy to install. Using a NZXT H5 Flow 2024, which only fits a 240 mm rad up top. The ram clearance is great on my Gskill sticks. This thing looks great. Hopefully it lasts. I'm very satisfied.Temps are high 30s C on idle. Max of 72 C under load playing cyberpunk on ultra.

This is a good cooler, cant go wrong for the price especially. Im using it to cool an RTX 3080 and it idles a at a good solid 33c. Which is what my corsair cooler i had was doing. Ive used corsair AIOs for years until recently it had a mandatory update which bricked my cooler. So I ended up giving this one a shot and so far no issues, been a few months now. Ive got the pump set to run 100 percent and using EVGA precision to control the fans. Good solid cooler.The only issue isnt the AIO itself its the directions. AS in theres not really any. I think it has software i downloaded something but a lot of it is in Chinese and i couldnt really figure out what to do for sure. I installed it tried to use it and just ended up manually setting the pump and using precision like i say.If you need a replacement cooler and dont want to invest a lot try this one.

If you have an I9 then you shouldn't be looking at a cooler that costs 50USD.With that out of the way. If you have a middle of the road CPU like an i5, This is right up your alley.GOOD:It took my 13600k from 95c with a tower cooler to 81c.Has enough RGB bling to satisfy most (if that's what you're interested in).Daisy chained ARGB fans are a godsend (makes life SO much easier).Comes with a fan splitter (continued in the "bad" section).RGB has enough LEDs to avoid hotspotting.The pump is almost silent.BAD:The pump housing emitted a slight burning smell for the first few days of use that faded (tiny bit concerning but the smell is gone now so fingers crossed).The mounting mechanism is more complicated than other AIOs. (it was easy for me because I have loads of experience but I can see it being an issue for someone newer).The fan hub comes with 3 fan headers though there are 2 fans (guessing its the same unit put into the triple fan version) BUT... The manual does not state why one header is white and the others are black... On the splitter its self the 2 black ones are labeled Fan and Fan... And the white one is labeled F/Fan... Like what the heck does that mean? Now I get it... That may be simple for us tech nerds to "feel out"... But for the beginner they would have no clue that the white one is the "sense" header that reports the fan RPM to the motherboard.(Final notes Thus far it is an excellent product, will keep you informed if anything changes)
