Review Valkyrie Syn 360 AIO Liquid Cooler Review: A strong AIO marred by beta-level software

[Admin]

We tested Valkyrie’s Syn 360 with Intel’s i7-14700K to see if it has what it takes to cool your CPU well.

For this particular company , I have not heard good things about its products and I will also agree with the article that it is very expensive.
Although I'm in favor of air cooling, lately I've been thinking about going with a 280 water cooler, which I think some of them are even better than 360.
So it was between two, the Corsair ICUE H115i Elite Capellix XT and the Frozen Warframe 280 as the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280 hardly fits into most Midi Towers on the top.
I finally ended up with the Corsair ICUE H115i Elite Capellix XT because I already have ICUE installed and also because I found it for half the money of what the Valkyrie costs

The reason I tested them is because I heard very good things, it's a shame the software is such a mess.

I think everyone is happy when there are tests on many products, mainly I have heard from friends that it does not offer anything good in relation to its price

First I just want to express my gratitude for your hard work. Your test regimen is impressive and I really appreciate your pursuit for high quality data and using real world use cases to design your study parameters!

Question, with AIOs within a brand’s product stack generally sharing the same liquid pump and fan design, the only reasons to go with a 360mm over a 240mm are the greater surface area with which to transfer heat to atmosphere and the slightly increased volume of thermal transfer liquid. Do you plan on implementing a “Time to liquid thermal saturation” aka “Time to Steady State” test?

After observing a few interesting results on Raptor Lake I thought about trying to create a "Time until TJMax" test, testing how long a cooler can keep a CPU under its peak temperature. I was originally going to incorporate this into my testing of Intel's Ultra 9 285K.

However, I've run into a problem which has prevented me from publishing this information. I've been attempting to test this with Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K, but I've run into an uncomfortable margin of variance and I haven't been able to determine why this variance is occuring yet. I may end up trying this on my i7-14700K system instead.
