Beautiful product but quite expensive to complete a system with...The 360 itself is very good at cooling just like any other AIO and has a multitude of connectors for any CPU listed on the box or in the description. It is certainly worth the money in my opinion. But all controllers and fans have a TT specific connector, that looks like a mobo USB 9 pin connection (it is not, is wired differently ans is 12v, not 5v as USB).Matching extra RiingsAvailable only through Amazon.com. Look for the "Premium" Riing Plus version, each with 12 (not 2) addressable rgb LEDs in the opaque ring. There are too many TT RGB variants imo and all tends to show enhanced RGB pictures so don't rely on telling the difference otherwise.Again look for the word "premium".At £35 quid a pop, they are relatively expensive but worth it so get through Amazon else you pay huge US shipping fees.Controller & bundled softwareThe supplied controller with this AIO only takes 1 additional fan, as two slots are used by both the pump and its RGB element and each fan uses its own slot. It also uses a 12v PSU feed header from the PSU not the mobo so you can use this on any board, but if like me you want 3 extra riing fans for exhausting the heat outwards, you need to either daisy chain another basic controller - which is impossible to find, or to ditch the included controller and buy the additional £40 Sync Controller which has upto 9 slots available.Doing this means you also have the capability to use the onboard RGB controller and ditch the TT software completely (as there can be compatibility issues otherwise, but the industry standard is split between 12v and 5v headers to cater for early RGB strip lighting as was the solution before RGB mob's, fans, pumps, RAM etc became so common. So do your homework first before even buying this AIO if you want extra matching fans.SoftwareThe software it good but only controls upto 5 fans in one channel. Daisy-chaining another controller seems the best solution as this would allow another channel to be used (and this is sold with feature that in mind) and apparently you can have as many as 19 chained....but even if you could find the extra controller, the included one in the 360's box has some tape over the port blanking it off...yet after removing this you find that the controller doesn't have a physical connector port on the PCB to do this...So daisy-chaining is either expensive or not an option unless you buy two older style controllers.Whilst the software controls the fans well, it is not as user friendly as it could be, looks to a need a polish or two and once updated to the latest release, actually fails to load on-screen (as clicking again, runs multiple copies in memory). So the update needs to be uninstalled and left as the 'out of the box' version (tried with Win10 Pro only) to work properly.Sync ControllerThe additional Sync Controller brings the system up to date a lot and simplifies the setup in that it has 9 ports, but again with the proprietary TT fan connector (so again you cannot use other makes of fan), complies with 5v RGB control headers on the Mobo and allows you to actually ditch the TT software completely. It allows your mobo software (i.e ASUS' AURA software or MSI equivalent) to run the fans in sync with any other fan fitted)...but some patterns are lost as no other company has 12 addressable RGB LEDs of course, so the chasing default pattern of the 360, best demonstrating the multiple LEDs, is lost.In fact under AURA software, the Sync controller links as a single strip header. So again all 6 fans now do the same thing. The TT software allowed individual fan settings etc. Another compromise. There is little guidance as to how many LEDs you need to declare in order to work best, but it seems okay to me.So in summary, whilst this is, I believe the prettiest 360 triple fan AIO on the market, buying thi needs serious thought, in terms of, if you want matching fans, if you run different fans already (as they wont fit), buying the sync controller, but whilst syncing to your Mobo, you lose TT's controllability...etc etc.If you are seriously thinking of buying this product (and yes I do recommend it - its efficient and beautiful), you need to know what you are also getting yourself in to in order to make it play nicely with the other more common items, including the mobo. The sync controller does simplify things but with compromise.As ever TT want you to buy only their products. This is not wrong, but at least they themselves have realised that their product, in order to get some market share, needs to be compatible, else the Buyer will go elsewhere.

Installation was very easy in my In Win 303, the waterblock is particularly simple to install. I am only using a stock Ryzen 5 1600 so a 360mm radiator is massive overkill and the resulting temps are very low , 31 Celcius as i type this. I use the silent settings for low fan speeds and it gives out a low hum.The main reason I purchased this unit was for the aesthetics and it really does look great. It will never look as good as a well designed custom loop but it is so much easier than one of those. This is a very expensive AIO and it is only good value in comparison to a full loop.Software is ok and I have my fans on the ripple effect and I am happy with this.

Very good product. Controller software integrates with the 3 TT RGB fans and controller I have already (despite that controller being a different design) so everything controlled in software. Cooling just as good as the 360mm TT system I had before but takes less space and allows me to mount my BD-ROM drive in the top bay on my Cooler Master Cosmos C700P (was blocked by 360mm radiator before).Only downside is the price - you can get 3 budget RGB 240mm coolers for the price of this 280mm one.

If you have the money to go for this BEAST, DO IT ! This model from Thermaltake seems to be TOP 1 at this moment for performance and also for design.With this water cooling system you also will be able to overclock your CPU and GPU without any problems. It will run silent and smooth like a baby :)) .I highly recommend this seller because he packed very well the box and also it arrives faster than I expected! Good job !

Cant complain. Very quiet. Keeps an overclocked i7 9700k nice and cool under full load (around 65°C) was a little tricky to install at first as the instructions arent very clear but looks great. RGB is very bright fans very quiet too

Really good overall , but 2 of the led on the pump doesn't work I bout this a year ago and I sow this problem before but I couldn't open it to se it because I wasn't sure and now after I bought it for 180£ I have a fail part ?

Built to sell but very easy to install and of great quality. I was wandering if the liquid was already in the loop and just for others info yes it does already have liquid in loop just plug and play very straight forward!
