Great quality AIO. Performs great with Intel I7 920. Overall easy to install. Only con is there are no instructions for the RGB controller. A little looking around on the CM product page and there they are along with the drivers.

overall a great product, looks very nice, only downfall is so many wires, its just a clutter, 2 fan cables, 3 rgb cables, mini usb cable, all connecting to rgb box with sata connector for power. Good thing is the device is simple to use once installed, i recommend the rainbow mode.

Quick pros and consPros:-Installs very easily-Keeps my OC'd 3770k cool-Lighting is awesome especially considering how scarce ARGB is on the market atm-Color controller works well-Does what it advertises to do, can't ask for much more than thatCons:-While not Cooler Master's fault, the software to control the ARGBs is a bit scarce at the moment (I reckon motherboards manufacturers will start updating the software to alleviate this)Got the cooler over the weekend and was a breeze to install on my 3770k. I've since been monitoring temps under load (gaming, not stress tests) and it seems to hover around ~45c. Definitely suggest using this with a case that has a clear panel so the lighting can be viewed as the lighting is pretty stellar.

Looks great, performs very well. The cables all seemed a little short though. Having to use cable extensions in an ITX case (albeit a large ITX case - NZXT H200) was a surprise.The back panel that the mounting adapter attach to is some sort of a plastic resin, and is a bit on the weak side. Don't try to flex a mounting leg when it is attached to the pump housing or you will snap the mounting ear off. Luckily, the adapters apply distributed pressure so it didn't affect the mount ability, plus the adapters squeeze the back panel onto the cpu block instead of pulling away from it. To clarify, it is pump-mounting adapters-back plate-gpu block. If it were pump-back plate-mounting adapters-cpu block, I would have had to buy another one.When installing the pump, pay close attention to clearances behind the tubes-they contacted something on the motherboard that kept it from seating against the heat spreader so I had to rotate it 90 degrees to install.My only real complaint is the Cooler Master RGB software. If you want a custom pattern that isn't static, and close the software, the pattern stops. Inside the software there's no option to SAVE the pattern onto the controller card. There's also no option to minimize to the system tray. You hit the x and it closes, or you minimize and its a big tab in the taskbar. Also, the custom pattern doesn't have any addressable functions. It's just per channel. If you want custom addressable functions the only option is static colors.Also the instructions are terrible. Just the worst. Even the downloadable ones.
