I was worried this small of a rad wouldn't be able to keep up with my i9, but it seems to hold it in check enough to get a modest overclock.

Really loud, performance is not great, and if you are trying to connect this to a fan/RGB controller that isn’t by Cooler Master, good luck. Looks cool, I guess.

Fitting the pump to the CPU wasn't the easiest thing in the world. The tubes are relatively rigid making positioning a little awkward for me. The software that comes with it to manage the RGB leaves a lot to be desired, the controller however is excellent and the looks of this bump this up from the 3* I was originally giving.

Works great, and very quiet. The RGB software is not so intuitive but it works. The pump is so silent I can’t hardly tell it’s running.

Don't think it's meant for a beginner, only problem I had was hooking it onto the CPU. Otherwise, everything else was good and easy.

Being my first AIO CPU cooler I'm happy with no regrets on this option. It has kept the temps down where I need it, only issue I had was the installation with the hoses being very stiff but once I had them in place I was happy. Also trying to get the ARGB to talk to the motherboard was an issue although I do have about 6 different ARGB devices connected.

Pros: It does the job mechanically

Cons: Although the connector physically works with the aRGB header, Its the only CM product I've seen that needs the controller for it to work. I like seeing the cooler turn orange when the build turns white.

The Tubes are very short and stiff, had to mount to the top of the case rather than perpendicularly to the motherboard like we originally planned

Also, the black logo plate doesn't want to clip onto the pump

This thing is beautiful first of all for an AIO cooler, the RGB effects coupled with ASUS Aura Sync is great. It has a premium quality appearance and is fairly quite under 100% fans, which is to be expected.

It's performance is superb in my opinion for being a mid sized solution. At idle my CPU sits at 30C and below on average, temps while under loads such as gaming and streaming are around 55-60C on average and under max load stress testing they peak at about 71C on average.

Installation was relatively simple for someone who has never built using any form of liquid cooling. Although the included directions are kind of terrible, however the images are enough for someone using common since to understand and use.

The only down side I see to this product is it's price, first you basically paying a premium for ARGB and appearance. So this is why I chose it, it was one of the few compatible with Aura Sync guaranteed, it was important to me to only deal with a single rgb environment and not several different required steps to sync it all together. That being said if you were budget minded there is a regular RGB version of this system for half the price and the same performance.

Gorgeous CPU AIO capable of keeping a Ryzen 5 2600 at below 30 degrees at idle and at full load below 70 degrees.

A little louder than I had hoped. Very good build quality though and Aura sync works beautifully. Great cooler for the price.
