Thermaltake TH120 ARGB Sync AIO Liquid Cooler Review

How Much Does it Cost?

The Thermaltake TH120 retails for a price in the region of £69.95. A price that is very competitive (and in many cases slightly cheaper) when you consider alternative 120 AIO liquid coolers out there from similar or more high-profile brands.

So, in other words, it’s (generally) less expensive, (arguably) looks better, and most importantly the chances are that in terms of temperature and noise control, this is almost certainly better than the vast majority of its competition. For £69.95, this is a genuine bargain!

Overview

Our test results pretty much speak for themselves. Despite the Thermaltake TH120 being comparatively much smaller than the other larger AIO’s we’ve tested, it was either as good or nearly as good in terms of temperature control and in terms of acoustic performance, it was amazingly quiet throughout our test process.

Aesthetically, it’s very nice on the eye whether the RGB is on or off and, as such, while I always suspected this was going to be good, I can genuinely say, hand on heart, Thermaltake has a truly great product on its hands here!

Should I Buy One?

If you are currently on the hunt for a new cooler and are erring towards AIO designs, there are no two ways about it, the Thermaltake TH120 is absolutely fantastic and practically flawless in any applicable remit I can think of. I know that with such a statement I invite comments suggesting I’m waxing lyrical or are ‘shilling’ for Thermaltake, but that is, hand on heart, my honest opinion.

I review a lot of coolers over the course of the year and I’m willing to state that for a 120mm design, the Thermaltake TH120 is one of the best (if not, the best) I’ve encountered so far in 2020. And quite possibly the best I have ever encountered in terms of its size, performance, price, and aesthetics. I am, of course, at this point more than a little curious to see what their larger designs from this series can do, but if you’re after a small, inexpensive, and really bloody good AIO cooler, the Thermaltake TH120 is one of the best I’ve ever seen!

Pros

• Strong aesthetics with the lights on or off
• Easy to install
• Ideal for those without ARGB sync compatible motherboards
• Excellent price
• Amazing performance in both temperatures and acoustics for a comparatively small AIO

Cons

• None

Neutral

• I really hope Thermaltake pushes the boat out with the marketing on this cooler design, because I’d hate to see this slip under consumers’ radar!
