These cheap testing vids of parts and pcs are ACC so useful and fun

This brand is pretty legit. I have 2 PC's equiped with these cheap 50 Euro 240mm versions (white, with ARGB). They work very well and are pretty quiet. I also added buck convertors (like 2,5 Euro ps) to manually set the RPM value to make them dead silent. I use them on a 14 Core socet X99 Xeon and a 6 core 1366 Xeon. Those machines are all Ali-express motherboard and CPU combo's you can buy for very cheap. My main GamePC is also equipped with full custom waterloop GPU + CPU (mainly Bykski and Freezemod brand). Really cool affordable stuff. It's about 3x cheaper compared to western brands. I was very impressed when I found out all this stuff a year ago. Everything is still working great.

Wow. I was literally just looking at this cooler in Ali Express.. what timing!

your garden is very neat

IWONGOU SO MUCH, BABE...

Interesting. Thanks for the review!! I agree that in your use case, air cooling just seems safer if both solutions are giving you a temp under 60 degrees with only 4 degrees of separation. No reason to risk a budget liquid cooler failing and drenching your system.

I would love to see you return to some of these cheap parts for later videos to see how these products hold up over time. Or possibly consistent use of them over time like you have done before. I'd be interested to see the longevity of these cheap alternatives.

One of the most USEFUL channels on KZfaq.

just earned a new sub very informative video without being bloated

I always appreciated your camera work I have a good chuckle with some of your shots.

I love the Thermalrite gear . I use a Thermalrite 'le grand macho rt' on my overclocked Ryzen 5700x with its power limits abused to 150w and it performs excellent keeping it under 65c

the cool AliExpress find king returned on his grind

Great video , good comments , thank you!

I love making videos with cheap coolers to see how they hold up 👍🏻

I just picked up a thermalright frozen prism 360 AIO for 50 quid. And it’s awesome!

You should make a video of the difference between that free paste and some brand named paste in terms of temps

Love these aliexpress vids

I'm genuinely impressed how well that cheap AIO worked, but I'd be concerned about longevity. I also prefer air cooling, I've had all kinds of issues with AIOs in the past but the Corsair unit that came with the PC I have now (it was a freebie) works great. The secret I've found is you need good air flow and thermal paste or you're just never going to get the full benefits.

I love this. Thanks for sharing

Ive been waiting for a test of one of these Iwongou liquid coolers. I ran an Iwonguo dual tower cooler for about a year and was very impressed with its ability to cool my 140w tdp Xeon.

Love the vids😊

I was always into this like liquid coolers for cpu w 1 fan but they all sucked in past...This one man for 20 bucks it is awesome and I am seriously considering buying it.

WHOO ANOTHER VIDEO!

It'd be good to know the ambient room temp also, great video as always!

I have bought several Iwongou coolers for xeons before, a pretty nice product, cooled those chonky 120W monsters pretty nicely, I'm glad I didn't listen to the elitsts telling me to spend 50 bucks on an air cooler

I'm in love with all the thermalright products

Nice to see you upgraded from the 3050!

I never thought that 120mm AIO was worth having, but for more modest CPUs this is perfectly fine from what I can see. I'd happily go with this over the cheapest air cooler, even if you can then advertise your PC as having an AIO and RGB. :)

I was most surprised that it has good mounting hardware. Way better than let's say old Asetek-based AIOs or Alphacool blocks.

O do love some AliExpress finding ❤

I have that exact same air cooler! I added an extra fan a few months back though. I bet the extra fan made up the difference.

120mm AIOs are fun. I put one on an RX 580, and it performs amazingly well :)

Would love more cheap AIO reviews!!! In the market for one but not sure if i should cough up the cash for a corsair or nzxt one 😂

I had purchased an Iwongou tower cooler for my rig, as a do a lot of rendering, and my CPU temps never went above 57 degrees Celsius. So they do make good budget coolers, in my opinion.

As usual, great information and much appreciated. But when's the next sandwich review coming? There are lots more out there that we need an expert's opinion on.

Now I want one for my Thinkpad T530 Laptop.

Dang. Price to performance that's great. Even if it died in a year it is still a good value.

Thanks for the intereasing video, although I am curious what materials it's made out of sometime these cheap AOI's are made with mix metals and have corrosion issues down the road

This is massive for PC flipping😍😍

The testing for water-cooling is slightly different from air cooling because water draws in heat quickly but once saturated will dissipate heat at about the same rate as an air cooler. The results after saturating the water with heat for a couple of hours of heavy use will likely be much closer to the air cooler results. The 240 or 360 is the ticket for an actual improvement in cooling, though a hotter CPU is needed to make it worth bothering.

Have a deepCool Gammaxxx 400 v2 with a corsair fan in place of it's stock blue led fan on my 12700f and it never gets over 80c no matter what I do to it with the pl durations set to infinite. A single tower 120mm cooler has been enough cooling for most users since the Cooler Master Hyper 212 made them popular.

Was the temps taken with the system inside a case or just test bench ? Good video , thanks 😊

we have the 240 and 360 aio from that company who makes them 😅 with our branding on it and with argb tubes. its realy good for this price!

I bought a $25 240ml liquid cooler that is quite good

Give the dog a pet you monster!! (at the end)

Interesting, Have a lot of the higher TR coolers, they do well.

I clicked your videos thinking it was a JaysTwoCents videos because of the thumbnail colors. Happy it was you instead.

I once ordered the 2 cheapes AIOs on Amazon some years ago, one still works and one is COMPLETELY filled up with gunk to the point where no water goes through anymore.

igot this for my build a few months ago, max temp i get is 55C does a great job

Looks cool ngl.👍

would definitely like to see how this thing does with a higher end cpu.

Unless going for high, sustained cpu clocks, I'd go air cooler all day. Just less points of failure. And the test here shows that a cheap air cooler is fine for most. I'll be rollin with my noctua for another decade

Sometimes, especially in cheap, badly designed cases, liquid cooling can be great at displacing the heat. A cheap one can be a bug plus for such a machine. Maybe this is something worth testing

I've been using the Arctic Freezer 36 ARGB air cooler. Really good stuff for the £22 I paid for it. It's very quiet even at 100% speed.

The real test would be using it on an i9-9900k. I have tried the same Thermalright you have, the stock Intel cooler, and a NZXT Kraken 240 mm. The coolest I can get it at stock speed is 66C at full load with the case opened on one side. It is impossible to get anything around 54C. Also I have centralized air conditioning in my home so ambient temperatures don’t matter.

I have a Iwongou two tower air cooler, 92mm fan, 6 heatpipes. It cools my i5 10400f very nicely, at low fan speeds it never goes above 65°C

Cool!

Would be interesting to see the longevity tests of the pump on this.

Bought the 240 ARGB for 27€ the components are standard and do their job well. More expensive liquid coolers charge for aesthetics and branding. If you use better 18W/k thermal paste, temperatures drop by at least 4°

One thing worth mentioning is that most makers don't do 120mm anymore

Just get the Arctic Freezer 3. The 25th anniversary price reduction is a no-brainer: 75 euro for 360 rad

Have the exakcr same thing, brand is called AZZA and its looking like a twin. This cooler is working since 2019 without any problems.

was very surprised by the Thermalright Assassin King SE we upgraded my nephews cpu a few weeks ago from a 12100f to a 12600 and used the same intel stock cooler temperatures quickly hit 100c and throttled the cpu so we bought the Assassin for £15.90 wasnt expecting much but damn never broke 60c under multiple stress tests, amazing cooler for the price

Well, specifically for CPU cooling testing people use things like Cinebench, just to get 100% CPU load consistently. Also, somewhat hotter CPU (at least 8c/16t) is advisable.

Liquid cooler just make sense on the high end

Hey thats my air cooler lol! Give it back!!!!

Would love to see this cheap AIO on a cpu that is known to run a bit hotter. Maybe even something like your 7500F? Zen 4 in general seems pretty toasty.

would be interesting to also know which is quieter between the liquid and air coolers

That looks really high quality. Even mounting looks leagues better than what Thermalright is doing. Though I have serious doubts what liquid is inside. It is more likely than not that it will gunk up in 6 months. I have bought some cheap Chinese fans and the quality is really poor, to the point that a new fan gets stuck without spinning, for some reason.

Both are impressive for the price. Do you know if that air cooler you mentioned would be good enough for an i9 10900k or 11900kf ? I'm planning on a cpu upgrade

does the radiator have a fill port? looked like it did, pretty rare for AIOs to have one

I certainly agree with the sentiment that you’re probably better off going for air cooling, I think air cooling is the way to go for 90% of people building gaming PC’s. For the most part they’re going to be cheaper, more reliable with less moving parts or points of failure, and they’re capable of cooling any entry level - mid range CPU that any sane human being is going to be running. The only reason I don’t use an air cooler myself is my complete obsession with SFF builds, much to my own stress and detriment at times 😂

You gotta leave the liquid cooler on your rig for 6 months to a year and report back about reliability and performance once it wears in. That would be awesome!

Got to be honest, I didn't expect it to look so good as it does for that price. It really does look pretty decent. Having said that though, not sure if I'd want to trust a company I've never heard of with water in my pc. Funnily enough I just brought that exact air cooler a few months back as well haha.

I have thermalright fs140, which is twin tower twin fans (140+120mm) and good price. After installing no issues but i do worry about the weight stressing the motherboard (6 layer msi gaming carbon). So would a low cost 240mm from Alixpress be a wise investment for durability? Interesting review thank you👍🐈

can you do a comparison between a 50£ AIO and a regular CPU cooler?

I'd love to see these same coolers on an i9 or an old FX-8350 if it supports am3 if only to see how much heat they can actually handle.

I got a gelid solutions 240 watercooler for 59 euro and it's good for the money and nice argb

review more of these tnx

Almost identical to my Cooler master Masterflow 140 from 2013ish. Just looks like an old Asatek design with updated mounting hardware

I kinda wish you did a cinebench test too to stressout the CPU to get a worse case scenario, but for under normal use it is not bad.

3:11 make it an april fool's joke where your hand is covered in bling :v

i get roughly similar temps with my Jonsbo CR-1400 EVO air cooler, that said im using it on a ryzen 5 5600x instead; at idle i sit at 28-30c and under load at about 62-64c

for a pure heat stress test, id recommend prime95

The concern I would have with the cheap liquid cooler is how quickly something is gonna fail, like the pump. At least on a cheap air cooler, you can replace the fan for next to nothing.

I'd be curious to see how both coolers handle Prime95 stress tests. Makes you wonder how Corsair and the like can charge £70-£80 for a 120mm AIO which is, in all likelihood, built in the same industrial estate as this Chinese one for £20.

5600x with this cooler. I would like to see how it compair with Hyper 212 (or similar) cooler :)

I'd be more interested in a long term test for the AIO. It might be OK when you first install it but it might poop all over your system at a time later down the line lol.

I like liquid coolers because the pc can be dropped and it won't have enough wheight on the motherboard to damage it. I got an isengard 120mm from superframe at basically the same price, the isengard is a little bit nicer with real argb fans and a completely quiet water pump

um dont want to come out as cocky but the aio pipes need to be set higher than the pump itself!! thats where the noise was from because the air always rises to the top of the aio system, in this case which was the pump.

Tubes should always be on the top to keep the air out of the pump. Increasing the pump life.

Spain 30-40°C these days xD depends of which part of Spain you live. I am on a 33°C with high humidity.... Your idle its like my pc swiched off. Insane

The juxtaposition of having a budget AIiexpress AIO on an ROG STRIX mobo 😅 But it doesn't look out of place and eh seems alright!

You may be a fan of air cooling, but I am a radiator of water cooling

are you planning on upgrading the cpu anytime soon? Your 4070 super can benefit from it even on a 12600k or 13600k

Any plans on reviewing your own rig these days? You have been using that i5 for a while now, must be a good build.

In the next video can you say "homelander done killed me bloody wife and took me son!"

Just got a comparable 240mm aio for my 5800x. It hits 90c at max load and idles around 45-50c. It seems like the single fan air cooler i had before did just as good of job keeping it cool. Is 90c too hot for a 240mm aio?

I'd pick an air cooler given the choice, just for reliability

Imagine how much better this liquid cooler wil be if the fans got replace by the T30
