Review on 💦 Thermaltake Water 3.0 ARGB Motherboard Sync Edition 240 All-in-One Liquid Cooling System – AMD/Intel LGA1200 Ready, 2X 120mm Radiator CPU Cooler CL-W233-PL12SW-A, High Efficiency by David Barit

The first bonus is the ease of installation. I find if you have an AMD socket motherboard the installation will be noticeably easier. A month ago I took apart a PC and got a Ryzen 3900x and a Gigabyte Auros x570 master motherboard. The board above was exactly the configuration this fan was designed for, so I didn't have to unscrew the back of the motherboard to install another one. CPU fan mount. However, the ones you need for reconnaissance are included in the fan accessories. In the past, installing a fan heatsink/fan tray meant I had to walk away and take a break; he cursed under his breath like Muttley from Wacky Races. I was pretty sure I would break something trying to get the Wraith Prism that came with my Ryzen 3900x. The clips that attach to this fan mount were designed by someone who hates humans. I closed my eyes, thought of happy thoughts, and, but by the grace of God, I somehow attached this demonic "copper block and unhappy" to the blackboard. . I can't remember any details at the moment. All memories are in the fog. After it was turned on, I started stress testing it. For an air fan, the thermals were maybe better than average. But it easily hit 90C in stress tests, and I wasn't about to put up with that. So I decided between the best Noctua fan and the 360mm Water 3 RGB. Even though Noctua fans are the best air fans out there, I thought they look like the proverbial poop has already landed in the fan and they'll just be aesthetically pleasing with nothing more than a toilet. So I bought this water-cooled fan. Installing the cooler took 2 minutes. It fits the CPU very well, as intended, but the latches weren't designed with a tug, so they snap right into the mounts. All in all, it took less than 10 minutes to install and boot up the computer. Here are the thermal analysis results of my Wraith Prism versus Thermaltake Water 3 RGB with Ryzen Master for temperature control. Now I use the CPUID minitor to get more accurate temperatures, but that's what I used back then. Idle: Wraith Prism: min. average 84 CThermal consumption: max. 70°C - average 68 CCinebench: Wraith Prism: maximum 91°C - average 88 CThermaltake: maximum 72°C - average 70 CRyzen Master stress test: Wraith Prism: maximum 95° C - average value 95 CThermaltake: maximum value 76 °C - 74 CA on average, as you can see the thermals vary a lot. Worth every penny unless this thing is boiling lemons or spilling water all over the place. I had it for 2 weeks and the results were 100 percent stable during that time. That's why I definitely give it 5 stars for now. I'm a lucky tourist.
