Fractal Design Celsius S24-240 mm Radiator - Silent Liquid CPU Cooler - PWM - Intelligent Controls - 2X Fractal Design Dynamic X2 PWM GP-12 120Mm Silent Fans

The Fractal Celsius S24 is an awesome AIO cooler. Very well built and easy to install. Cooling plate has thermal paste pre-applied to make the installation easier. Very effective cooler that keeps temps on my AMD Ryzen 7 5800X low. Very subtle "stealth" design with all black finishes and NO LEDS (that's a plus for me). Tubes are covered in woven sheathing that hides wiring, giving a very clean finish to the installation. The cooler offers 2 pump modes, Auto and PWM. Auto lets the cooler control the pump speed, PWM lets it be controlled by BIOS/system software. Very happy with this product and would buy Fractal again without hesitation.

These are pretty great for cooling your rig. You can change from 2 modes: Auto = slower but quieter and PWM = louder but faster (meaning better cooling). This can be a good thing if you do not like to tweek with fan settings and all that, but also can be a negative if you do want to set the fan speeds to hit certain temps without blasting your fans faster than it really needs, which leads to louder PC configuration.I overclocked my 8700k to 4.9 using these with no issues at all. Generally, these are very quiet compared so some, such as the H100i (which I also use on anther rig).

If you want an easy painless setup especially for first time builders this is the AIO for you. No software needed, no messy cables, no problem.I bought this for my Ryzen 7 1800X (Upgrading to Ryzen 7nm next year) I've looked and compared other AIOs from Corsair, NZXT, and even the new ASUS AIOs. I thought I might regret buying this but once I installed it all that went away. Even though it's a last gen asetek coldplate design it has the 5 year warranty to back it up compared to the Asus Ryuo/Ryujin which is 3.The one thing I did was I replaced the stock fans with the Noctua NF-A12x25 and NF-A12x15 for a push/pull config Running Prime95 I was hitting 67C max @ 3.9GHz OC. My system idles at 30C which is definitely better than my air cooler which was at 40-45C idle. Pump definitely doesn't make any noise which made me wondering if it was even running.The one note I can say is make sure you use the proper mounting brackets for AM4 motherboards vs AM3 and older. I made a stupid mistake and mounted the wrong one and my CPU hit 100C which tripped the overheating protection.Conclusion: Buy this cooler, Even if it looks bland and boring the ability to refill/expand the loop was worth the money and the fact that they're slapping 5 years on this just like the other high end competitors makes me really happy with my decision.CPU: AMD Ryzen 1800X 8 Core, 16 Threads @ 4GHzCPU COOLER: Fractal Design Celsius S24 240mm Push/Pull (2x Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM, 2x NF-A12X14 PWM)MOBO: ASUS Crosshair VI Hero w/ Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265GPU:Nvidia GeForce® EVGA RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra @ Stock (for now)ADD-ON CARD: Elgato HD60 Pro PCIe Streamer CardRAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB 4x8GB @ 3200MHz CAS 14-14-14-34-52 (Stable, Samsung B-Dies)SSD: 1x Toshiba OCZ RD400 256GB NVMe (Boot Drive) 1x Toshiba OCZ Vector 180 480GB(Game Drive), 1x Toshiba OCZ Vector 180 960GB (Game Drive), 1x Intel 545s 256GB (Game Drive), 1x Intel 545s 512GB (Game Drive), 1x Samsung 860 EVO 500GB (Game Drive)HDD: 2x Toshiba X300 6TB 1x Seagate Ironwolf Pro 8TBPSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 T2 80+ TITANIUM 1000W w/ Cablemod Pro ModMesh Sleeved Cables.

AIO coolers are a tricky deal. Most pumps come from the same manufacturers, and the differentiation usually comes down to (1) quality control, (2) tube and stock fan quality, (3) ease of installation, and finally (4) aesthetics. Poor QC is usually what causes us to read those nightmare stories about AIO coolers- unexpected and random leaks being the top concern. The second horror story is usually installation, bending pins or otherwise incorrectly installing the radiator and fans.Fractal's AIOs are way down there on aesthetics. No RGB, very spartan appearance. But the other 3 points are top notch. They have a reputation for good quality control and long lasting parts. The tubing and fan quality (stock) are great. And their installation instructions are reminiscent of Ikea- clear, consistent and heavy use of good visuals.I can't complain. I've had the S24 for about two years now, installation was smooth and of course no leaks. Sure it doesn't have fancy lighting but honestly I *wanted* an AIO that focused more on quality than aesthetics. Fractal knocked it out of the park with their AIOs. No nonsense, just install and play. I barely notice the noise from the pump; my Corsair maglev fans are louder. Performance is top notch, my 2700x runs cool 100% of the time. Overall would recommend Fractal's AIOs and some of their fans over the competition. It's easy to get carried away with RGB and bells and whistles but what you really (should) want in an AIO cooler is quality control & ease of installation.
