Valkyrie V Lite Series

The V360 ARGB Lite Black AIO by Valkyrie may not feature the best looking pump top in the market (unlike their SYN line) but it makes up for that with its very good cooling efficiency and well that will probably be more than enough for most consumers out there. This also covers component temperatures even though there’s no fan on the pump/waterblock (airflow levels of the fans could be responsible for that - tests are performed at the same room temperature so I really can’t think of another reason). Noise levels are also well within acceptable levels even at 100% load so that too is obviously a plus as is the 5-year limited warranty.

Die Valkyrie V360 Lite macht mit einer besonderen Optik auf sich aufmerksam: Die Pumpenabdeckung sorgt mit einer sichtbaren Leiterplatte für einen industriellen Touch. Dazu kommen ein Bereich mit Unendlichkeitseffekt und A-RGB-Lüfter. Natürlich will Valkyrie aber auch bei der Performance überzeugen.

In terms of raw cooling performance the Valkyrie V240 LITE does exceptionally well. While the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 240 does outperform it in the noise normalized tests on our AMD test platform, the situation is reversed in the max RPM tests, where Valkyrie holds a clear lead. Meanwhile, on the Intel side it is no contest, with the Valkyrie V240 LITE absolutely dominating all 240 mm all-in-one liquid coolers, even beating down some 360 mm offerings. Looking at the results in general the cooler is definitely better suited for Intel systems but with that said, it is by no means a bad option for AMD builds either. Regardless of which platform you're going with performance remains impressive, and I will tip my hat to Valkyrie for delivering much more than I expected.
