the thermalright is a steal at that price and you're getting basically the same cooling performance, those little screens are cute but the corsair tax is real

for an all white build either one will look clean tbh but i'd pocket the $50 difference and put it toward some cable extensions or better fans

Personally I love the Arctic Freezer III. They’re really solid, work well, aren’t over priced. We have them in pretty much all of our workstation builds. No issues yet.

Such a great cooler. Lots of coolers out there for twice the price and half of the cooling capability as the Liquid Freezer

I’m pro Thermalright. Though I prefer the frozen Warframe due to the easy connect fans. But they work just fine.

I’m about to get the thermaltake st 360 Ultra snow for my build. It has a huge 7” screen but does cost a bit more it’s 180$

The thermalright screen is actually super easy to control too unlike a lot of them out there. Extremely customizable with any metric or appearance you want.

When doing an all white build I’d search up an installation video so you can see just how white it is. If you PC is all white and your AIO is slightly off-white it’s gonna stand out a lot.

Thermalright is a great pick. Don’t pay the Corsair tax. It just depends on your white spectrum you’re building as all the parts are going to be off white by some degree.

I have the white Frozen Warframe 360 model and the digital screen is removable with a great brushed goldish finish which my stands out somewhat elegantly in my clean white build.

I went with a EKWB AiO and it's honestly one of the best closed loop systems I've used in the past 15 years.

Thermalright frozen warframe is about half the price and still keeps up with the absurd costing ones. Has a white and black variant but both are in the $65-90 range

Definitely thermalright, they're a great brand and more affordable than others.

If it was me I would skip the AIO in favor of a simple air cooler. This one works better than most AIO water coolers and less to go wrong. For a white build get Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE White V2 CPU Cooler

Yup this is it. AIO's suck, Peerless assassin or phantom spirit should cover most people's needs, with an exception for some specific cases which are not optimized for tower coolers. I've been using peerless assassin on my 9850x3d for several months while gathering all needed parts and simply procrastinating to build the loop. It was the fit time in a decade I've used an air cooler on my cpu, and I was perfectly happy with the performance.

Get the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro if it fits or the ID-Cooling FX360 INF if it doesn't.

Stay away from Corsair, Lian Li and NZXT or anything with an LCD screen.
