Review on πŸ’¦ EVGA CLC 360mm RGB LED CPU Liquid Cooler with 3X FX12 120mm PWM Fans: Intel & AMD, 5-Year Warranty (400-Hy-CL36-V1) by Eddie Gordon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great AIO after some adjustments and patience

It was almost returned due to the click and rumble of air bubbles in the pump. The only reason I didn't return it was because I had to go on vacation. I went for 4 days and when I came back it was barely noticeable. Everything was ready the next day. The pump noise is still audible in an absolutely quiet room, but otherwise imperceptible. So it took about a week to work quietly as it should. I also have some BeQuiet! Silent Wings 3 fans are in for a treat, as online reviews said the fans were loud and felt like they were made out of fairly cheap plastic. Overall it's now fairly quiet and handles temperatures well, saving 5-10 cents over my 120mm Corsair AIO. The only thing that bothers me in terms of quality is that the cooling fins are a few millimeters or so thinner than the surrounding bezel, they're set back from it. When you mount your fans this way, they don't sit flush with the fins and allow airflow to take the path of least resistance through the gaps created, rather than pushing through the fins. The included software feels more complex and flashy than it should be for such simple functions, but it gets the job done.

Pros
  • Fan and Cooling
Cons
  • Big and bulky
