Thermalright has so many SKUs.

>No 8TB option Aren't most 8tb units obscenely overpriced? It's usually better to get 2x 4tb units.

The cooler is indeed very good. I only wish they had limited the maximum speed of the fans, I felt they ran louder than they needed to. I think the market for products like this is vastly untapped. I could be wrong, but I think there would be a market for pink and purple coolers if they were...

Looking at this review, I suppose I should have made one thing more clear: These coolers seem to perform better on Raptor Lake CPUs than they do Arrow Lake. There's always the possibility I messed something up, but I'm fairly confident that wasn't the case :p

For a while, I used to test with both Intel's i7-13700K and Ryzen 7 7700X - but the performance of coolers with those CPUs was similar enough as to be redundant. That said, there were a few interesting exceptions where a cooler performed worse or better on Intel or AMD. I am interested in...

I personally didn't experience any problems with the software. Indeed that is quite annoying. Thermalright's Hyper Vision AIO is inferior to the Grand Vision, but if you were to look at the units it would be hard to see any difference.

I've recently tested the same cooler in both locations. In the drier climate, the cooler tested performed just slightly better. However there are other differences in the climate that could also account for differences, such as elevation.

On the one hand, pumps definitely impact cooling more than fans do. On the other hand, I run pumps at 100% by default and if pump noise levels are high enough I can measure them (My noise meter can't read below 36.4 dBA accurately)... I kinda consider that an engineering failure.

Have you tried contacting them for support? I've not dealt with that aspect of Thermalright personally, and I'd be interested in knowing if their support takes care of you or not.

Glad to hear it!

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the software. If that doesn't work, I'll point Thermalright towards your post here.

To be quite honest: When it comes to computer cases most people should care more about looks, supported features, and noise levels instead of thermal performance.

I'm sorry that you had a poor customer service experience. I'll keep your feedback in mind, thank you.

Every person's sensitivity is different. I use 120hz for work, but don't mind lower resolutions. Many others prefer high resolutions, but don't mind lower refresh rates.
