There's a lot to unpack from the name of the Thermaltake Water 3.0 360 ARGB Sync. The ‘360' obviously refers to its 360mm radiator, and we know ARGB = Addressable RGB lighting. The ‘Sync' aspect references software compatibility for the Water 3.0 360 with current motherboards, and it’s great to see that the cooler supports ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and AsRock Polychrome software.

Priced at £158.99, this is not the cheapest liquid cooler we've ever seen – there are a few 360mm AIO coolers on the market for a little less, with some closer to the £110 mark. That being said, it will be interesting to see how the additional £50 is justified, whether it is with features or sheer performance.
