awesome performace, nice packaging, the screen on the pump is just futuristic and amazing. Solid AIO here.2 issues.... leds on the fans could be brighter, they are completely outshined by my Phanteks Evolv X Case Fans.... and Rgb Fusion software to control the lights it's just clunky as f......

Pretty expensive for a heat sink, but it's water cooled and has a digital display that I just can't get enough of. If you insist on water cooled CPU and want to make your build look sick, this is for you.

This is my first AIO purchase. I have always been too nervous about failures from them to ever attempt to install and daily use one. This is a first impressions kind of review, as I have had it installed a day.The radiator is a thinner style radiator, so if you have a thick Arctic II or EVGA CLC you would more than likely see a performance reduction in thermals.I installed this AIO in a Segotep Argus case and planned to have it installed in the rear of the case because it appeared a 280mm AIO would fit, but it is too tall and had to be installed in the front of the case, possibly for the better. (My GPU temp seems unaffected, or if anything has improved due to the quality of the fans with the kit.) For my first AIO install, it was mildly difficult, only because I have never done it before. The hardest part is mounting the radiator, the easiest part is installing the Pump on to the CPU.The fans are very high quality and while they are a little loud, they are serious air movers. Can definitely feel more air than before being moved through the case, all thanks to these 2 140mm fans (they replaced 3 120mm no name case fans.)The pump is near silent in my case, with or without the side panel on. I had it on max for a little for testing and could not hear it while it read it was running at 2700rpm, it was not noticeable and did not affect temps in any meaningful way so I left it on the "Balanced" preset.That brings us to the most negative thing about purchasing this cooler, and that is the clunky software you have to run in order to get the extra FPS from the RGB. You need 2 software suites to run this AIO correctly. I was already using RGB Fusion 2.0 because I have a Gigabyte Mobo, but you also need to install and run Aorus Engine. The RGB Fusion isn't that bad. I have used it for a few weeks now and haven't ran into any serious problems. Aorus Engine, on the other hand is really really bad. It freezes, crashes, made my graphics unstable because it in all technicality, is their GRAPHICS CARD ENGINE but I guess trying to OC an MSI card causes the display driver to crash. Had to roll back my Windows because of this issue lol.The only other real negative I have with this cooler too is the wires that come off the Pump for the fans are rather short. I had to do some pro case mods and wire stretching to get the LED cables to reach the fans installed in the front of the case.I have ran multiple Benches and Stresses and the maximum recorded temp after 3 hours in AIDA64 was 61c. Minimum temp at idle is 33c. This is all a huge improvement from my giant air cooler (Cooler Master MA620M) which maxed at about 80c and idled in the mid 40s... Because my case is not an air cooled functional case, it's built for liquid cooling AIO CLC's such as this one!I would maybe not consider so much RGB with my next AIO, if I need one. Overall besides the clunky software that they are all plagued by, I love this cooler!!!
