CONCLUSION
From our charts it’s very clear that the Floe Riing RGB 360 TT Premium Edition by Thermaltake is not only quite better compared to its predecessor (Water 3.0 Riing RGB) but it also features the highest cooling efficiency of all the AIO liquid CPU coolers to ever reach our lab. Still there’s one thing we need to point out and that’s the stated specifications of the Riing Plus RGB fans bundled with the cooler. You see although Thermaltake claims that these fans can go up to 1400RPM and can produce less noise compared to the regular Riing RGB models bundled with the Water 3.0 Riing RGB AIO our tests say otherwise. For example the TT RGB Plus software recorded speeds of up to 1621RPM (even with a -+10% these fans shouldn’t exceed 1540RPM) when PWM mode was also enabled (if PWM is disabled the max speed does comply with the stated RPM) while our very own HD600 decibel meter recorded almost the same noise levels we got while testing the Water 3.0 Riing RGB (based on the specs we were expecting even less). That being said even at 1600RPM the performance gap between the Water 3.0 Riing RGB and the Floe Riing RGB 360 TT Premium Edition is larger than what we thought it would be.
So how much are you required to pay in order to get your hands on what is probably the highest performance and one of the best looking AIO liquid CPU coolers in the market currently? Well with a price tag of USD175.12 inside the USA (Amazon) and 185.89Euros inside the EU (Amazon DE) the Floe Riing RGB 360 TT Premium Edition by Thermaltake is certainly not what we’d call affordable but at the end of the day for such performance and looks the price feels just about right. Only question now is just how long it will take for us to see something even better but even if that was to happen tomorrow the Floe Riing RGB 360 TT Premium Edition AIO by Thermaltake is still worth our Platinum Award.
