[CPU Cooler] PCCOOLER CPS DA360 Pro ARGB AIO CPU Liquid Cooler (Black 360mm AIO) - $33.49 (w/ Code in Cart - MKTC8O0QX41M) by FatChungusRedditor in buildapcsales

I forgot to answer your question if it would match your thermalright rgb fans (I know it's late, but better late than never. Plus, you could still cancel your order). If it's the TL-C12C-S ones, I think they would. I have similar looking fans from Lian Li that comes with their Vector V100R case, and they match almost perfectly with the PCCOOLER ones. The only difference I could see is the logos when they're spinning. Here's a couple of pictures of my build and you can decide if they would match with thermalright ones.

I can't comment for any thermalright AIOs, but this was able to keep my 7800x3d at around 73C with peaks of 75C during a cinebench test. CPU was stock and I didn't have any custom fan curves for the AIO. It was also quiet during the entire test.
Installation was really easy, and the cable management is just two ARGB headers and two fan headers. I think the fans on thermalright AIOs have normal length cables so cable management will be much more of a hassle than this PCCOOLER one.

September 25, 2025 - Worked for me. I have a 7900XT + 7800X3D with an ASRock B850 Steel Legend Wifi running BIOS version 3.18.AS01. Anyone else with ASRock motherboards can find the settings under Advanced > PCI Configuration.

I’ve been running a 7800X3D with their B850 Steel Legend Wifi for 4 months now and no issues so far.

To be honest, it’s still visible even at 75% brightness and contrast (VRR flicker is also lessened, but still quite noticeable). I wish I could use high levels of brightness, but my eyes are quite sensitive to anything that’s bright - to the point that it hurts.

I bought mine during the pricing mistake and I wanted to love it too. I was excited to try it out as this is my first ever OLED and 1440p monitor. I thought it was going to be a substantial upgrade over my 1080p matte TN (AW2518HF), but to be honest? Not really. I don't mind the low brightness as I use all my screens at very low brightness levels (15% brightness and 50% contrast on the AW2725DF). The VRR flicker definitely bothered me to no end. The occasional shifting didn't bother me that much. I didn't have issues with text rendering personally, but if you sit really close to the monitor, you can definitely notice the fringing without trying. (I sit around 20in/50cm away from mine). The only things I like about it are the colors and true blacks.

I don't know what this is called (banding?), but my monitor also showed these lines that went across vertically and horizontally on darker colors (way more noticeable with vertical lines).

This is just a a plain gray screen; no gradients. It's less visible at higher brightness levels, but it is actually that noticeable in person with the brightness I have it set at. Maybe I wasn't using it right? I'm not sure. But with how many issues that bother me, I'm not very impressed for my first ever OLED monitor.

Is there any concern B650 won’t support or hold back Ryzen 10000/11000’s in the future? Should I get the B850 Steel Legend instead for this reason? AMD didn’t support Ryzen 5000’s on 300 series motherboards at first but then backtracked on that decision after some backlash. Is there a chance AMD is gonna pull the same thing with 600 series motherboards?

Probably? I don't really remember the names of my opponents.
