These are the best 240mm AIO's you can buy in 2024....at least some of them CLAIM to be the best on both Intel and AMD. But a lot of these all in one liquid coolers end up being a lot worse than I expected. Then again, some of them had amazing temperatures on both LGA1700 and AM5. Let's talk about what it takes to get our recommendation.
Buy our recommended 240mm AIO's here on Amazon:
Phanteks T30 - geni.us/T30AIO
Arctic Liquid Freezer II - geni.us/LFII240
Thermalright Frozen Edge - geni.us/FROZENEDGE240
EKWB Nucleus - geni.us/EKWB240
Lian Li Galahad II Trinity - geni.us/GALAHADII
Phanteks D30 - Good Luck :(
Rog Ryujin III - geni.us/RYUJIN240
DeepCool LT520 - geni.us/LT520
be quiet! Pure Loop II - geni.us/PURELOOP2
NZXT Kraken - geni.us/KRAKEN240
Corsair Link H100i - geni.us/H100iLINK
Thermaltake Toughliquid Ultra - Don't do it.

I just recently picked up the cheaper Thermal right Frozen Notte 240mm white ARGB and swapped it out with some white Arctic P12's. The temps are absolutely chilly on my 7800x3d. I Really can't believe the price for it either. With the two fans it came in at $68 usd. If the pump holds up for more than 2 years I think it will be money well spent. It would be nice to see you guys run a long term budget AIO test if possible. I know logisitically it would be a pretty tough proposition, but finding out if there is several hidden gems in the under $75usd category would be pretty nice, and good to know. Thanks for doing such a through review on this, keep up the good work.

That is one comprehensive test. Very glad you have mentioned the noise that pumps are making as I was under impression they should be completely quiet. At least that was one of the reasons I was looking into AIO. I have purchased a Lian Li Galahad II LCD Performance AIO 280mm that has 8th gen Asetek pump. Exactly the same that is used in Asus Ryujin III. The only reason I figured that out is when you played the noise it makes. When I first got the unit I thought it was broken because of that sound and I have actually replaced it with completely new one that was making exactly the same noise. I wished I knew that before the purchase ;)

Thank you for the standardized fan testing. This is usually never tested and it’s a good indicator to see if the fans are holding back or carrying the AIO. Regardless of what AIO I choose for my 360mm I had the plan to put T30/Noctuas on it. Tests like this one would help me choose. Ended up going with a 360mm EKWB Dark and T30s it’s been excellent.

I wonder if that AIO is defective or maybe Deepcool has different pump speeds on the 240mm compared to the 360mm

23:47 thats more than $100 Loved this testing. That Thermalright setup looks compelling at the prices, but its scary when it comes to watercooling. You just feel it's too good to be true, that something is going to spill. I have the same reservations about ID Cooling as well.
@qT_p133 ай бұрын
- ID Cooling and Thermalright are both OGs. Especially Thermalright that is one of the oldest companies featured in this video. They also have tons of clients in the business side. The point is: margins on AIOs are crazy high, that's why every company is flocking into the market. They're just undercutting everybody, doesn't mean it's a bad product.

Likely one of the best AIO price to performance wise right now is the Azza Cube. Puts the 4000 rpm pump in the radiator and according to benchmarks is right up there with the EK in terms of performance.

Had a Lian Li Galahad 360 that was fairly quiet but over time performance just dropped. Serial number was outside of their recall for known issues but still just got warmer over time. Swapped to a EK Nucleus CR360 Dark and after a week the motor started making loud noise. Did RMA with it and even the replacement was loud. Had to turn down motor to 60% speed to make it quiet. Gave up on liquid cooling and went back to my old Noctua NH-U12A Chromax. No noise, no concerns.

Huge respect guys! Great job! I wonder why the pump on your DeepCool LT520 is so noisy. I have an LS520 which I think is basically the same and its pump is inaudible even at 100%. Otherwise, in addition to the LS520, I also have an AK620 and I change them according to my mood with a pair of P12 Max fans. I am very happy with both coolers and the fans as well. Much of this happiness is due to you helping us find the best hardware for each of us. Respect!

@NAMEDTODIEАй бұрын
Great testing, the Ryujin III on AM5 was a big surprise, I expected same performance as NZXT and Phanteks due to sharing the Asetek pump design. But, was the Intel testing done with or without an LGA 1700 contact frame? Considering that the frame costs only about $15 it is absolutely be worth checking how the positions would change. Also, since Arctic P12 Max fans were shown, I would like to see some testing done with the white version of than P12 max fans because for some reason they have fluid dynamic bearing rather than dual ball bearing used in the black P12 Max.

Thank you for doing this work! In my personal use case, I try to always use EKWB or Noctua for all applications. I got so tired of the bizarre mounting scenarios of the cheaper brands and the mixed quality control. Ex: The popular EVO air cooler that was always reasonably priced never fully seats. At max tightness it can spin on the cpu. The only exception was my recent Lian Li 011 Dynamic EVO build. I used (6) of the newer P28 Lian Li fans so wiring would be easier. I used EKWB CLC classic 360 for the AMD 5800X3D but their fans are garbage and always make annoying noise. I swapped them for the Lian Li P28s. I have like (12) EKWB Vardar fans from the different builds I have done in the last few years just sitting in a bin. Every set had at least one annoying fan that made noise. I usually swap them to Noctua Redux's. For the GPU I had to watercool the AMD 6950XT ordered straight from AMD, because it was hitting 117C hotspot even at 100% fan speed. I installed the EKWB pump. It was only one they had in stock and it was almost $200!! This is ridiculous but had to pay it because I don't trust anyone else. I used a 360mm classic radiator with (3) Lian Li 28 fans mounted to the side of the Lian Li 011 Dynamics.

Excellent video. Two suggestions for follow-up: 1. I want the fan speed to be controlled by water temperature to minimize the fans ramping up and down for transient loads. AFAIK, only Corsair and NZXT support this. Unfortunately, these two are near the bottom in your review. Are there other options? 2. I would like to see a performance update with offset mounting brackets to see if this changes AM5 pecking order. Thanks!

- I have the 360mm EK and used a 2 pin temp sensor that I placed on the exhaust of the top mounted AIO. Before I got the EK I had NZXT and that sensor and reported liquid temp from CAM were typically 1:1 and at most 1 degree off. I set a fan curve in the BIOS and set the temp source to the sensor.

First I thought the nucleus will never fit in my itx case but glad I just looked to the full Dark version and there is no material around the fittings that could make trouble to fit. "Hope they perform the same"

Can't say anything negative against my Thermalright Frozen Magic 280, which I use since end of september and cost me 63€. Fits in the o11 Mini on the side with tubes down, and the pump looks to be the same as be quiet models, different from the 240mm version. Its very quiet and I use Pure Wings 2 Fans with them, since I couldnt get the TR fans go low enough for desktop usage. Also dont know how TR is doing this, or if it will fail along the way, but the AIO was a decision because of looks, not performance, and if it fails, I still have warranty anyway.

Finally someone's reviewing the Thermalright AIOs! Woot! Can't wait to see how their 360mm ones hold up

I purchased the Thermalright Frozen Notte 360mm cooler last month and I am impressed with its performance. Before installing it, my 5800X3D processor would never cool below 60 degrees Celsius on full load. This cooler is not only inexpensive but also does a great job at keeping the processor cool. However, I am unsure about its durability. Initially, the fans were quite loud, but after making a few adjustments to the fan curve, the noise level has decreased significantly. Kudos Thermalright

Wow, the Thermalright Frozen Edge Truly is the bang for the buck among the others used in this testing! I might consider getting one myself.

I just built a new PC (merry Christmas to me) and chose the DeepCool lt540 for my Fractal North case, which was chosen for its mid-century aesthetics to fit our house. It was a solid choice, but I did have to undervolt the 13700kf a little to bring the temps down to sub-85C (at full load in Cyberpunk 2077.) It’s perfectly fine, but this great comparison would have certainly changed my mind if I did it again.

Need a video on 280mm AIOs, especially the Valkyrie c280. Not many english reviews on it, but the results look great, would love a comparison of that against other 280s.

could you test the aio 360's. Thanks

- You'll probably see very similar results in the rankings. The only difference should be lower temps.

- @@erikcortes5015 the only difference in a 240mm and a 360mm is the longer radiator and an extra 120mm fan. There's not much science and engineering to it. If we were talking about 280mm vs 240mm, that would be different because not all companies make the same 140mm and 120mm fans. But with 240 vs 360, it should be relatively the same with how each AIO performs. I'm sure the phanteks t30 360mm rad would (similar to this review of the 240s) run be the best at lower decibals
