The Ultimate 240mm AIO Roundup for Intel & AMD

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 D30 - Good Luck :(
Thermaltake Toughliquid Ultra - Don't do it.

The fact that you guys put in fan normalized tests as well puts you above and beyond. Absolutely nailed it.

[crisprat]

The subtle counter at 7:47 is just 👌 needed to boost the volume to hear the noise and if that was not there... rip ears. Anyway, loving the new vids recently. Keep up the good work!

Flawless...there is literally nothing more, besides long term testing, that is missing here. Especially the AM5 / Intel Comparison but moreover, the very good graphical presentation for so many different Units, exactly what i needed to go and buy my first AIO and get rid of my BeQuiet Dark Rock 4 ( i hate the clamping mechanism soooo much i want to cut my arms open everytime ) :D
.
Keep it up, you are the Cooler Tech GOD :D

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.

We need the same video but with 360's.

Had the Arctic Frezer II 240 for years and currently rocking the Pure Loop 2 360 - both have been working perfectly so far and temps never had any issues.

[ciaranplunkett]

Well done on all the testing, especially since you're one of the only channels that separate Intel & AMD results and explain why!

[watercannonscollaboration]

Watched the entire 25 minutes and first I want to say thanks to the team for doing all of the testing, especially between Intel and AMD on all the coolers

Something interesting is my LT720 and LS720 (the 360mm version), their pump noise is nowhere as bad as that LT520. I wonder if that AIO is defective or maybe Deepcool has different pump speeds on the 240mm compared to the 360mm

[Megaman-Zero-]

Thermalright and Arctic killing it again

[Sajgoniarz]

Is it only me, or that was actually the best AIO test i ever saw?

[EravielTachibana]

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.

Nice to see the sensible options like Thermalright, Deepcool, EKWB, and Artic are performing very well. And what a disappointment to see many of the pricey cooler only care about their looks.

Also, this would be something you expect from a big media with large resources, but no, it's HWC with its small size crew and resources. Well done, you all! And thank you!

[Nightss]

Wow wasn't expecting this, this was awesome! Really easy to digest, great photography, and good recommendations with no holding back! Awesome!

[mrbabyhugh]

12:30 the price of that ThermalRight giving that performance is the clear winner, though the Phantek stands out overall, but due to the PRICE of the TR, WIN!!

[Bootimus-Prime]

I thought the Ryujim was a overprice product 😂. Damn that am5 results shocks me. Thanks again mike & co for the vid

[Games_and_Tech]

I am waiting for the 280mm and 420mm rounds

[joshuastedford]

1st video recommended to me, instantly clicked. Cooler reviews on Hardware Canucks are consistently excellent

[mrpekko]

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

[pawnipt]

Best and most revealing roundup I've seen! thanks. My LT520 pump is inaudible at full speed though. Love this cooler on my 7800x3d and after watching your video I have no plans on replacing it anytime soon. I have Phanteks T30's on it for the win

[bobbygetsbanned]

The Thermalright is in a league of it's own at that price. Now I want to see the results when you buy the Thermalright and 2 T30 fans, swap the Thermalright fans for the T30's, and pocket the $80 you saved. Amazon has the TR FE's for less than $50, just saw a white one for $40!
