Introduction
Today, we are reviewing a 240 mm AIO cooler from the Hyte called THICC Q60. Till now, we “only” had a chance to check the chassis from that manufacturer; they were called Revolt 3, Y60, Y40, and Y70 Touch. Besides that, this company, the sister brand of iBUYPOWER, offers a keyboard, desk pads, case fans, and a headset. The only size of this AIO offered now is 240 mm, but the THICC Q80 (with 360 mm radiator) was already announced/presented at the Computex (and we hope we’ll get a sample). Hyte THICC Q60 is an AIO with not the typical 52-60 mm radiator/fan(s) combo, but rather 84 mm. That’s massive! Additionally, you get a 5” IPS display with a 60 Hz Refresh Rate and 720 x 1280 resolution (293 PPI), which is the “rotated” HD. The Hyte THICC Q60 uses an All-in-One formula, with a radiator and pump coupled into a single loop and aided by fans (3 x 120 mm). Speaking of fans, they are PWM-controlled, Fluid Dynamic Bearing 120 mm units (32 mm thick)—named THICC FP12. The rpm range is 0-3000 rpm, static pressure is 8.14 mmH20, airflow is 105.08 CFM, and noise is up to 47.3 dB(A). The radiator sizes are 288 (L) x 120 (W) x 52 (H) mm (L x W x H), so it’s almost double as thick as the typical AIOs (27 mm). You can find the case compatibility chart on the Hyte website. The cold plate dimensions are 56 x 56 x 1.5 mm. The tube (made from CIIR Rubber with Nylon Sleeving) length is 400 mm/15.74 in. Hyte makes dual-harmonic pumps with 2000-4500 rpm, ceramic bearing, and 24 mm impeller diameter. The Hyte THICC Q60 is compatible with the following CPU sockets:
- AMD – AM5, AM4, *TR4 (with an optional bracket)
- Intel – 1700/1200/115x, *2011/2066 (with an optional bracket)
The Nexus software from Hyte manages the lighting effects. We want to underline that we’re using the i9 13900K Raptor Lake processor to check the cooler and AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (previously, the systems had Intel Core i9 12900K and Ryzen 7 3700X). Hyte THICC Q60 is sold for 299.99 USD. The warranty period is six years, which is great compared to most of the competition. So, let’s head to the specs/feature page, shall we?
