We tested Thermalright’s Hyper Vision 360 with Intel’s i7-14700K and Core Ultra 9 285K CPUs.

I wonder if this is an indicator of a QC situation because the pumps on the two appear to be the same one. When looking through varied SKUs on previous Thermalright models I noticed their naming would sometimes correlate to different pumps.

At the end of the day I do agree the constant SKU spam is a problem and a much bigger one for AIOs than air coolers. If they're going to continue this I'd really like them to identify their pumps clearly so at the very least the buyer would know if there's any difference there.

I really wish somewhere like Tom's would buy 1ea of every one of their AIOs and do a "Can you go Thermalwrong?" comparison across the models. As-is, I have no idea what the diffs are between all of their AIOs on Amazon.

i hope you will review Deepcool Mystique 360 and compare it with Hyper Vision 360

its called market flooding thermalright has done this with even air coolers lol. there can be 3 types of the same air cooler with slight alterations its like there trying to plug every market area.

Thermalright includes an accessible refill port hidden behind a sticker with its logo on it, and while they don’t include a scary sticker on top of the refill port, their warranty policy is no different than those that do. If you attempt to service your AIO by refilling it, Thermalright will deny you warranty service.

Citation please. Not doubting you or anything but if you want to change this you would first have to provide citations in order to make a proper complaint with legal basis. I am very sure human hallucinations are just as useless as AI hallucinations in court.

You do know that deepcool is banned in the US. There is no point in US based reviewers and websites to review a product that they can't obtain legally and a consumer cannot buy legally.

I know what they're doing, but the problem is when there are fundamental differences like pump type. There's a Core, Elite, Grand, Mjolnir and Hyper model of Vision and they do not all appear to have the same pump. This isn't like the Assassin coolers where you can just look at the number of towers and heatpipes to know what you're buying.

that could be, and AFAIK their product line jewel is usually at the dirt cheap too good to be true with minimal gimmick segment, like the PA120, and I am using their Frozen Edge 360 which can tame the undervolted 14900K with OCCT AVX2 extreme 30min under 90C in 25C room ... at all P core 5.9Ghz E cores 4.5Ghz using 320W power cap..

That's an interesting idea!

1) I'm a reviewer, not a lawyer. I'm not making any legal complaints 😉

2) I asked my contact with Thermalright directly. I'm not sure if it would be appropriate to screenshot the email, so I'm gonna pull a Linus and say "Just trust me, bro". Or you can ask Thermalright yourself, I asked them because they told the same thing to illusional

Hi everyone, I just bought a 9950X3D and I'm currently waiting for all the parts to arrive so I can build the PC.
I've been researching the best AIO cooler I could use to keep the CPU temps under control. Like many of us, I've been a bit confused by the different models Thermalright offers. But I saw that the Hyper Vision 360 has a UB model, specifically the Hyper Vision 360 UB ARGB.


According to the info on their website, both the GrandVision and the HyperVision use a pump rated at 6400 RPM, but they have different airflow specs:

• GrandVision 360: 80.45 CFM (MAX)
• HyperVision 360: 69 CFM (MAX) (Lower airflow, which means potentially lower performance)
• HyperVision 360 UB: 207 CFM (integrated - MAX)

When comparing the HyperVision 360 UB to the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360, it seems like it might have better cooling performance. Based on the review I saw here at toms hardware of both Thermalright models, and considering the CFM differences, I would think the UB model is the best option.


What do you all think? Does my assumption sound right?


Thanks in advance!

It appears that the fans are all hardwired to one another with the UB model. Personally speaking that's something I'd very much avoid in case fan replacement was necessary. The Intel cooling performance doesn't necessarily correlate to AMD cooling performance. In the case of the LFIII it's better on AMD than Intel.

The fan difference with Grand vs Hyper is that they're thicker fans on the Grand which is why the airflow is higher rated. The static pressure is actually rated higher with the Hyper than Grand, but that may only be at higher noise levels.

If you're looking at the Vision line from Thermalright I think the Grand is likely the one to buy.

The only negative I see with the LFIII is that like the LFII they use thicker radiators which don't necessarily play nice with all cases.

Comparing Grand Vision vs LFIII I'd say either buy which one you like the look of more or whichever one is cheaper whatever matters more to you because both should be good performers.

Thanks a lot for the recommendation.

just to add in my thought as a TR AIO user.

IMO with how they litter their lineup with a ton of SKUs, although they have their own factory to make all these, the pump quality or even if the coolant will have gunking issues are a big questionmark for them as they are pretty new to their self built units.

IMO the higher end SKUs which costs $100+ do not justify for the potential hassle, especially since RPL the cooling performance isn't that limited for modern CPUs to not hit Tj Max, and that most AIOs performance difference is not too drastic with a few degrees difference.

So Artic LFIII is kind of a proven AIO brand with the gunking issue presumabily resolved in the LFII era, if you can install the thicker than normal radiator at similar cost I will go for the LFIII. My own choice to go TR is simply that the frozen edge just cost $59 including shipping, so I give it a go to foray into AIO and if it goes bad, just dispose it and back to Tower Cooler
