INTRODUCTION

    As someone who reviewed some of the very first AIO liquid CPU coolers well over 15 years ago I can't help but to compare not only the number of models available today as opposed to back then but also the cooling efficiency gains over the years. Yes, as I've pointed out many times in past reviews AIO liquid CPU coolers have hit a bottleneck in cooling efficiency (one which manufacturers will not be able to overcome just with faster pumps and fans) but they still offer high-end performance for those who need it. After their very good SYN and Dragonfang AIO liquid CPU coolers Valkyrie is back with more and the V360 ARGB Lite Black is what I'll be testing today.

    As with their past models the latest V360 Lite AIO by Valkyrie is available in both black and white colors and in 240/360mm sizes. The combination also remains the same and so the V360 Lite consists by an 379mm long, 120mm wide and 27mm thick aluminum radiator, three B12 A-RGB FDB (fluid-dynamic bearing) 120mm fans (2150RPM / 81.68CFM / 4mmH2O / 30.5dBA), 450mm long braided tubes, high-speed 2800RPM pump with ARGB illuminated rotatable top and a copper coldplate. As always, the ARGB LEDs located on both the pump top and the three B12 fans are compatible with all the leading 3-pin motherboard sync technologies (ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light and ASRock Polychrome Sync), you can control aspects of the AIO via the myth.cool software and as for warranty Valkyrie offers a 5-year limited one.
