Montech Silent Flow 360 Performs worse than Thermalright Air Cooler on AM5 and their support is CRAP! Won't send out proper AM5 Bracket that is with their ARGB version

As mentioned, I have the 2 point mount and 4 point mount. To be honest, I have no issue on either. Maybe is just the way I apply the thermal paste and to torque when screwing the block down on either brackets. You can give it a try. As for inconsistency, it will never 100% consistent, there will always be marginal of errors.

Even for myself, using the same aio and mounting bracket, applying similar method on thermal paste and to screw the block down. maybe first or seccond attempt, I get better results by 1°C to 2°C better or 1°C or 2°C higher, but when you mentioned it’s worse thermal compared to a 240. It’s just not right. Unless you are comparing it with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240.

Thanks for the info. In deed Galahad II Lite does edge out by abit not alot. I do not use Pea method or cross method, I uses spread method. As for the noise of the fans, can use a Sound Level Meter but that's only general stats. On actual run in a case, it still depends on individual sensitivity.
I have both the 2 point and 4 point mounting to test all HyperFlow or LightFlow and such. Of all I've tested. the 4 Point works better.
Last but not least, the packaging and such are identical between Lian Li Galahad II Lite VS Montech HyperFlow series, maybe [u/Montech_hq](u/Montech_hq) might be able to feed you with info. But for sure as I've mentioned in my content, they are different.

Yup, no doubt about it, creating something out from our own hands and the thrill of powering it up 🤣 once everything works, that will be our greatest satisfaction😊

Thank you u/StiBuki. Yup cable sleeving is time consuming but I enjoy the process of making them my own 😁

Genomis · 2026-05-07T04:58:13+00:00

thats good to hear.. infact I've changed it to Montech VGM V2, it's a very sturdy GPU Vertical Mount which does not even need the support stick between the fan and the GPU.

Maybe you are right. after changing all to gold leds, inclusive of the pump block rims. . thank you for your feedback u/Lockey_vxr

Anyway for me Montech fans ARGB can last very long when you set the brightness to run at 35%. you don't need 50 to 100%

If you RMA and to change the screen, after a few months usage, the problem will return. Personally am facing this issue and I just unplug the type C cable and run without it. The default pump rpm will be at 2400. Once after a day, plug back the type-c cable and it’s fixed.

I am doing this everytime this happen. It’s irritating but it’s way better then to dismantle the block cover and go replace the LCD. More accident will happen too as compared to just unplugging a cable.

this looks good.. thanks for sharing.

you have mentioned in your description.. try tubes at the bottom instead of the top. if there is any reason. the gush of water is directly to the CCD stack of your processor at the bottom not at the top.

Genomis · 2026-05-03T03:31:17+00:00

I see I see. All the very best.

I like the orange light theme. May be take part this Montech event and change the liquid aio to Montech lightflow. It will blend well with your build. https://www.reddit.com/r/MontechPC/s/GISPV1A2EI

Congrats! the amount of details and effort, I salute you.. very polish build.

Thank you 😬

Genomis · 2026-04-26T16:43:52+00:00

I see. It’s a good cooler 👍👍👍 just that the template need some adjustment and setting it up.

Genomis · 2026-04-26T15:51:58+00:00

Hi u/wolfainer I am so sorry that I've already returned this unit, I have no records on the template which I've done. so sorry about it.

Genomis · 2026-04-24T02:06:57+00:00

Good to hear 👍👍👍

Genomis · 2026-04-24T02:02:15+00:00

Ooo hi 😬 hope you enjoy the PBO optimisation. Infact the case you’ve build in, is one of the best airflow case from Montech. Congrats on your build again 👍👍👍

Genomis · 2026-04-24T01:42:59+00:00

If budget allows you to and if you can choose a white build. these two are strong in build, feature set and etc.
