The Thermaltake Floe DX 360 TT Premium Edition is a solid all-in-one liquid cooler that delivers decent but not class-leading performance in regards to CPU temperatures. It fell just behind the Corsair H150i PRO in the FPU OC test and typically tied the ID-Cooling Dashflow 360. In other words, most performance-oriented 240 mm closed-loop coolers beat it—not to mention the expandable Swiftech H360 X3 AIO that slaughtered it not only on price but performance as well. With that said, the cooler did end up being very quiet when the fans are spinning at maximum RPM. However, the overall noise profile could still be improved through the use of a quieter pump housing. Essentially, with a better housing or pump, the minimum noise level should drop below 35 dBA. Regardless, the cooler is still very quiet and should be unobtrusive in daily tasks or when pushing the system with heavy workloads as it stays well below the 45 dBA cutoff where noise tends to become noticeable and an issue.

When it comes to its major feature, which is everyone's love-it or hate-it addition of RGB lighting, I can say the cooler looks quite dashing. My only issue is Thermaltake's lackluster software, which is more likely to push people away than entice them considering TT RGB Plus has such a bad user interface. Worse yet, all components connected to the hub, which makes the software work, use proprietary connectors, which locks you into a specific ecosystem for RGB components. This problem is further exacerbated by the fact that you cannot use motherboard control directly for PWM fan profiles or RGB syncing.

While the software is not to my taste, I can say the overall physical build quality of the unit is. It feels solid, and while not really any different than other all-in-one liquid coolers, I found no real issues in regards to fit or finish. The mounting hardware was easy to use and made for a quick and painless installation. Even memory and graphics card clearance is perfect with no real problems to speak of.

This brings us to the biggest problem Thermaltake will face in regards to the Floe DX 360 TT Premium Edition, and that is the price. To put it bluntly, price to performance is way out of line, making the cooler insanely overpriced for what it offers in regards to overall cooling performance and noise output. Add to that heavy market saturation in regards to liquid coolers and there are far more option available that cost a whole lot less; thus, the Floe DX 360 didn't quite live up to my expectations.

Overall, the Thermaltake Floe DX 360 TT Premium Edition all-in-one liquid cooler is an exceptionally good-looking cooler that offers adequate performance and acceptable noise levels but predominately falls flat due to its price that is hard to stomach.
