could be what you're looking for. It's an oversized 240 liquid cooler that only needs two 120mm fan mounts to house it, rather than three with larger coolers. This means it could be perfect for getting top-tier processor cooling in a smaller PC.

Both the THICC Q60's fans and radiator are much thicker than normal liquid coolers. The thicker radiator means there's more surface area across the fins inside it, allowing for greater heat transfer and potentially better cooling. That extra thickness comes at a cost, though, which is a need for more powerful fans. You can see my video review below to see if it's the best liquid cooler out there.

The deeper the radiator, the more restrictive it is in terms of getting air through it at a fast enough rate. Thinner radiators are much easier to deal with, but if you add thicker, more powerful fans into the mix, you can solve that problem. That's what HYTE has done here too. In addition to a 52mm-thick radiator , it includes 32mm-thick fans, while normal PC fans are just 25mm thick, providing more shove in terms of airflow.

Out of the box those speeds are tied to the liquid temperature, which results in a quieter cooler as it takes the coolant a while to heat up with little to impact on the processor temperature to some extent.Some screen display features aren't available yet, but you're able to pick from various graphics and backgrounds using the software, including hardware or coolant temperatures.

Accepting the price, though, is a tougher ask as it's clear you can get better cooling for less money with larger radiators and the fact it's large screen makes it unsuitable for a lot of small form factor cases, limits its appeal which is a shame. It looks fantastic and it's cooling is spectacular, but the $300 price tag means only PC builders with sizeable budgets who don't have the space or desire for custom liquid cooling should consider it.
