CONCLUSION
AQIRYS may not still be a well-established manufacturer in the EU but so far, their products have lived up to my expectations, at least for the most part. Yes, the AQUARIUS 360 is not the best AIO I’ve ever used or reviewed in terms of cooling efficiency but it actually does quite well for a budget oriented 360mm AIO model (and better compared to other similar models). On top of that noise levels are actually quite good for 1800RPM fans and the same also applies for looks thanks to both its ARGB lighting and the mirror like top of the pump. The lack of AMD compatibility (aside AM4 that is) is somewhat strange and even though this is not the 1st time I've encountered this i do hope AQIRYS takes steps towards improving that end of their AIO models. Adding an ARGB controller in the package was also a nice move even though I’ve always been of the opinion that everyone should be doing that (not all people have RGB/ARGB compatible motherboards after all).
Just like with the T.G.A wireless gaming mouse the AQUARIUS 360 AIO liquid CPU cooler by AQIRYS is currently only available in Romania for 113Euros (PC-Coolers) a price tag which is very attractive. Still at this time most people are clearly unable to gain access to AQIRYS products and that’s certainly a drawback, one which I hope they resolve soon. That being said the AQUARIUS 360 delivers on most things from cooling efficiency and relatively low noise levels to stunning looks and an affordable price tag and that’s why it gets the Golden Award.
