Finished Looks

Overall, the cooler offers a nice contrast between light and dark when the ARGB lighting is disabled. If you're not a fan of the ARGB craze, the unit still looks great without it. My only gripe with the design is the Montech branding on the bottom right of the pump—I believe their triangular logo would have been a better choice in that spot. Other than that, the HyperFlow ARGB 360 would be an excellent fit in a high-contrast build without lighting. For instance, ASRock's Taichi motherboards would, in my opinion, pair well with this cooler when looking at visual aesthetics only.


As for memory and graphics card clearance, there were no issues on either platform.


The ARGB lighting on this cooler is above average, with green and blue hues looking particularly vibrant, although the red on the pump block isn't quite as bright. Despite this, the color distribution across the fans and pump block is quite good considering the size of the area being illuminated. I did notice some occasional flickering during rainbow transitions, though it was infrequent. This might be a software issue rather than a fault with the cooler itself, but I observed the same slight flicker on both AMD and Intel Gigabyte motherboards, and it's an issue shared by its 240 mm sibling as well.
