Fried after less than 2 years

I bought this for my son, and less than two years it started smoking when the computer was turned on. There is nothing more annoying than having to contact the manufacturer and get RMAs for parts. I guess nothing lasts forever.

If You Are Handy, It's Great!

I have nothing but praise for the basic hardware, but the assembly instructions were confusing and inadequate. I was fortunate to have found a message board where someone posted pictures. Without the crowd source documentation it would have been a guessing game doing a proper installation. I bought a Corsair Carbide case and the cooler radiator and fans were a wonderful fit. Not sure how the unit would have worked in other cases. The Carbide is designed with a place for the radiator to mount in the top of the case with venting out the top. The only thing I would add would be some tape to seal gaps between case and cooler. The cooler fans are powered from connections on the cooler waterblock which were not labeled. I also had to see Message board postings and pictures to figure this out. The only connector on the water block is for the CompuLink controller which is unused on this unit and is a part of the more expensive H110 cooler.

better than expected

It works better than i had anticipated it might. Not as good as a custom cooling loop, for sure, but far better than a stock cooler. Quick and painless install. 3770k with a mild OC and it never even gets warm. cant beat it for a hundred bucks

awesome cooler

great cooler-fans are loud so i replaced them with a pair of noctua radiator fans under full load cpu is 97f

Works Great

This product cools the CPU very well even when over clocking. Easy installation and great performance.

This is really cool!

I've been running this cooler in push-pull in my Corsair 600 case for over two years now on a Sandy Bridge o'clocked to 4 ghz. Proc temp never goes over 34 C, not even on a SiSoft burn-in, which it handles very, very well. Install was a little ticklish, but came out fine. I could not be happier and doubt that any other cooler could do any better.

Better Than Exoected

Very pleased with operation. Running on AMD FX-8350 OC'd to 4.5 MHx, a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 mb,with 4 strips of Corsair Vengence 16 gb total, in a Cool Master HAF 912 case. So far running on low speed with very little fan noise and absolutly no heat problems. Only issue was the installation. It was necessary to install on top of case, with fans in pull mode, as there was not enough clearance inside. Needed to cut opening to insert the pump. Wasn't difficult, took about 10 min to make cuts. Then added fan grills on top.Pump takes up less room in the case than the AMD OEM cooler and fan that came with the processor. When machine is first turned on the noise is a little excessive but throttles down within a few seconds.Highly Recomend.

didn't like the product

the quality of the product was no good and I went to plug in the Power Supply the plug just fell apart I would not recommend this to anyone I went out and bought the brand new degree cold system from somebody else and the whole quality of this and performance of my new liquid cooled system is better

DOA

CPU cooler lights never came on. CPU temps shot right up. I heard many good things about this cooler but mines was doa so I can't give it praise.

Great cooling solution

Great cooling solution for those in the liquid cooling market without the mess of user charged kits. A bit expensive but the processor temp reports are fanstastic compared to the stock fan. It already comes with thermal paste on the cooling head, so don't worry about buying extra. You can hear the pump when on a low fan setting but the sound is not at all intrusive and it's quieter than a processor fan. IMPORTANT: Make sure you can fit the radiator in your case, cause it's big. I had to put the rad under the top of the case (phantom midtower case) and within an eighth inch it just barely cleared the ram on my board. And that's without the fans. Had to put those on top of the case instead.
