All of these four TCOMAS coolers have their own unique features, such as LCD screens, ARGB lighting and metal accents on the fans and pump tops. The build quality across the entire range is good, plastics look and feel like high-quality materials. The black coatings on radiators have a premium-looking textured satin finish and on the high-end models, all cables are braided to give them a high-end and expensive look. So, there's nothing of note to complain about in terms of build quality.
On the budget LE200 model the RGB lighting on the fans could be improved; there's some light bleed visible from individual LEDs, it's not perfectly diffused. RGB lighting on the WG600 fans is improved, but still not perfect. All the LCD models have decent-looking screens, the info on screen is bright enough and the housings they are mounted in look good with the RGB effects and metal accents.
However, the TCOMAS software used to control the LCD screen coolers is terrible. The interface isn’t user-friendly, it's quite awkward to navigate, menu headings don’t necessarily point to what you would expect and the layout and configuration of the preset hardware monitor looks very rough around the edges. The whole software has an unfinished feel and is nowhere near polished like you would expect from premium brands like Corsair with iCUE and Lian Li L-Connect etc.
But the biggest disappointment with these TCOMAS coolers is the noise output and thermal performance. All of the coolers are excessively loud; the top-end models hit 60 dBA on our test bench, which is a record for us in terms of noise output. That kind of noise level is completely unbearable and beyond the usual distracting hum.
Like the noise, the thermal performance isn’t up to standard. You could excuse a budget cooler for not being the best when it comes to thermals, but when you are paying a premium price like with the LG700 Pro and LX800 Pro, you expect not only top notch build quality and features but also top level thermal performance – and neither of these coolers offer that. In fact, they are some of the worst performing 360mm coolers we have tested on the Ryzen 9 9950X test system, which is why I wouldn’t recommend buying any of these coolers.

KitGuru says: They might look the part but there is lots of work to be done to make these AIOs competitive when it comes to thermal performance.
