Exceptional Cooling Performance at an Unbeatable Price!
The media could not be loaded. I recently upgraded my cooling system from the Peerless Assassin air cooler to the Thermalright Frozen Prism 360 AIO liquid cooler, and the difference has been nothing short of amazing. My system, powered by an Intel i5-13600KF, has experienced a significant temperature drop, with temperatures at idle down by an impressive 10 degrees and up to 20 degrees cooler under heavy loads.Setting up the addressable RGB (argb) was a breeze, and the result is visually stunning. The RGB lighting adds a fantastic touch to my setup, creating a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere. The aesthetics of the Thermalright Frozen Prism 360 truly elevate the overall look of my rig.While the fans can be a bit loud at their maximum speed, I found a great solution by using the free and open-source Fan Control program by Rémi Mercier Software. This tool allowed me to easily adjust the fan speed, reducing the noise without sacrificing the exceptional cooling power of this AIO liquid cooler.What truly blew me away was the price point – only $55 for a liquid cooling solution of this caliber is an absolute steal! Thermalright has managed to provide top-notch performance without breaking the bank, making this cooler an unbeatable value for the money.In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the Thermalright Frozen Prism 360 AIO CPU cooler to anyone looking for outstanding cooling performance, easy setup, and stunning RGB aesthetics, all at an incredibly affordable price. My gaming and productivity experience have been elevated, and I couldn't be happier with this fantastic addition to my system.

Surprisingly great.
It keeps my i9-14900kf at around 36c during normal idle use like youtube and web browsing. Installation was a pain though, specifically mounting the pump to the processor was a real pain. But once you get past that, it's amazing.During installation, getting the bracket took several attempts, then once the bracket was in place, it seemed like every time I got one side of the pump connected to the screw, the other side was loose, so I'd go back and forth, over and over, until eventually I got it right. Then I realized the pump was upside down, because I was fighting the cables in the other orientation so I assumed it must be this way. I smeared a lot of thermal paste in the process, I guess maybe it's evenly coated now at least.Once it was installed though, it worked way better than expected. I hooked the pump up to one of the pump connections on my motherboard, so I'm not driving it at 100% all the time, but it is very quiet in use. The radiator puts out shockingly little heat, it must be doing a pretty good job at dissipating the heat over a large area, because it barely feels warm.Fans are nice and quiet. Cable management on the fans could use some work, but wasn't completely terrible. I haven't tested this thing to any extreme yet, but so far I'm impressed. Normal everyday stuff stays around 36c, which is pretty cool for an i9-14900kf. For the price? Simply amazing.

Excellent low cost alternative!
I decided to try out a full compliment of Thermalright products in a "new" full rebuild of my system after having spent the past year or so using the Thermalright Peerless assassin tower cooler (hailed as one of the greatest air coolers ever, often very close to the performance of the king NHD15) with great results. I am very impressed with the value proposition from Thermalright products. They are extremely affordable and extremely effective, especially when considering the cost.These fans and the 360AIO I put in my system on this rebuild are happily operating my system in a Cinebench R23 run with a 5 degree drop in CPU temp and overall multi-threaded score of 34326 at stock CPU settings with the exact same fan and radiator size configuration and BIOS settings. Literally all I did was take all the old stuff out, drop in the new stuff and power it on. I did not change settings in BIOS or fan curves whatsoever. For reference, this setup replaced a full Corsair kit, complete with Corsair 360AIO. Hands down this system is beating the brakes off of the Corsair setup, with less plugs and wires, no software needed, and simple plug and play operation, at a fraction of the cost. I bought the Thermalright equipment for the entire build for less than the cost of JUST the Corsair AIO, which I will be returning.I have watched numerous product reviews on Thermalright components and the number one concern brought up is always longevity and warranty support, although nobody seems to have had to post a video about any of these AIOs giving up on them yet that I have seen. Since my last Thermalright cooler was an air-cooled tower, I cannot make a fair comparison here, but I can offer that even if this AIO dies, I can replace it 4-5 times and still come in at a lower cost than the Corsair AIO. I truly hope that I don't need to do that, but even if I did, it would be cheaper, still plug and play, and still no software issues or bugs, which warms my little heart.Fan noise is a very subjective thing here in my opinion. I am running them at full speed during benchmarks for maximum cooling and yes you can hear them, sure they are "loud," but not nearly as loud as the Cosairs were, and on top of it, the tone is much less annoying. When lowering the fan profile to a "silent" configuration for casual use and gaming, they are nearly inaudible in my house. I don't know what my noise floor is in my house, but we do have kids and dogs and a TV running all the time, and hard flooring, so it is probably noisier in my house than most other's homes. That said, even when these fans begin to ramp up, I still don't hear them over all of that. I only hear them when I max them out. They have not had to ramp up that high during normal use, so unless I do it manually, it is literally of zero concern to me and I think you will have a similar experience. I know big name reviewers with decibel meters and controlled environments for testing can speak in much more detail with evidence here on the topic, but frankly, that is not how most of us live, probably. Overall, I think noise will not be an issue for you. If you are coming from Corsair like I did, they are quieter in the same configuration. I know that much. The tone is better as well whenever they do begin to ramp.The lighting is great. They can get painfully bright if you want to. I have mine dimmed down so I have a splash of color without going blind. They are decently diffused. I have seen better, but at much higher cost. Sadly, I have also seen WORSE at higher cost. Overall, lighting performance is great. They do not have rings or side lighting, which I know if very popular currently, but I personally don't care for that feature. Only the fan blade light up on these, and I like it a lot. The frame of the fan does a good enough job to reflect or highlight the light to provide a clean and crisp look.Construction is sturdy and gives me no impression of weakness. Anti vibration pads are built into the frame and present on both sides which is very nice. The included screws are very minimalistic and won't stand out or make your build look like it was bolted together with garbage hardware. Very slim and sleek hardware here. The bite of the screws into the material is firm and positive, without being so tight that you need to use any force to seat them.If you are on the fence about Thermalright, get off the fence and jump on board. Save yourself a TON of money, get stuff that works amazing, looks amazing, and doesn't lock you into a hot garbage software eco-system.

Keeps cpu cool, but fans are loud
I love the look of this cooler in the case, but the fans are loud at high RPM good news is they can be replaced with some quieter fans. Still worth the price and while wearing headphones you can’t hear them.

Excellent Water Cooler
Without getting too technical, this is an excellent water cooling system! First of all, it's easy to install. Secondly, it performs very well. I use more than one type of hardware manager on my gaming rigs and without boring you with a bunch of numbers, the Frozen Prism does an excellent job of keeping my CPU cool even under heavy loads. When my grandson comes out he plays some pretty hardware-intensive games for many hours without any issues. On top of its performance, you can't beat its price for a water cooling system. Thermalright makes excellent cooling products at fantastic prices! I highly recommend this product.
