darkFlash enters the AIO liquid cooler competition with the Twister DX-360 V2.6. Its utilization of an infinity mirror pump cap and fan design not only brings ample ARGB flair but also guarantees solid performance. This combination makes it an appealing choice without breaking the bank.

The pink RGB version sells for 68 euro VAT included around these parts. Price is almost too good to be true for such a high performance 360 AIO.

Oh my, I was just about to comment on the guy above how this is equal(ish) to Galahad 2 while costing almost half of it.
Only for you to point us in the right direction. This even cheaper variant of the same cooler is even cheaper, about 40% of the Galahad 2's price (when converted to USD) with about 98% of its performance. CRAZY.

And I was just looking at the Galahad 2's review on TPU the other day thinking this is pretty good cooler, even for the 160-ish dollars.
Hell, this thing is amazing at 40% of Galahad's price.

Or.... (hear me out here)

You could buy the $240 Corsair iCUE Link from the other week that isn't quite as good at cooling, but it does have a nice Corsair logo and Corsair Cables that you'll learn to love and Corsair software that everyone already loves!*

Don't buy this darkFlash, buy the Corsair - it's great!*

i bought their m-atx case few years ago. it has decent build quality, airflow and cable management for just $35. by reading this i kinda eager to try their coolings for the next build, but the competition is very fierce right here

@crazyeyesreaper can I please request measurements of the cold plate in all AIO reviews going forward? Not all manufacturers provide this information on their websites and it becomes quite important for CPUs with large IHS like Threadripper.
