HYTE THICC Q60 AIO CPU Cooler Review

HYTE is one of the hottest brands on the market right now, proving to be a go-to choice for the “hey look at my first PC build” types on reddit, which all seem to be sporting incredible flagship hardware and perfect cable routing. However, if you’ve seen the HYTE PC cases and their flagship AIO cooler the THICC Q60 before, you may already know that they’re some of the best in the market for aesthetics, both with a focus on ultra-clean cable routing. Naturally, I had to get them in for a closer look myself and see what all the fuss was about.

With a THICC 240mm radiator (THICC means Technology Harnessing Innovative Chonk for Cooling), a powerful pump, and high performance fans, this new AIO promises to bring fantastic cooling potential. However, as HYTE say themselves “Cables are just super gross, so we got rid of like all the cables” so cable routing is a breeze, as there’s only one, and it’s hidden. But then there’s the most unique point, the absolutely massive unit of a display floating above the pump, which features a 5″ IPS display, and also has an ARGB lighting array on the back for some added flair.
