purchased this productVery good AiO water cooling for the CPU!
I ran the cooler yesterday with an i9 10900K on an AsRock Z490 Taichi board.
After various other AiO coolers, from NZXT / Corsair / Fractal, I can say without hesitation that this one delivers by far the best cooling performance. Software-wise, NZXT has also made progress with the Cam application. Meanwhile, the display can be set to all 4 angles. As with me, for example, where the hose connections are on the bottom, because on the right the Ram modules are too thick.
The possibilities here are almost unlimited. Infoscreens, pictures, GIF's, you can completely customize it, which was another reason to buy for me.
Regarding the noise I can't report anything negative either (and that although I have an open case - Cougar Conquer).
I have replaced the 3 fans from NZXT with 3 of the LL120 from Corsair, runs 1A.
The price is really high, with just under 250.
If you consider that you can get other AiO's, also in the 360 range, for just under CHF 100....
Conclusion: Expensive, but in my opinion the best AiO cooling for the CPU.

purchased this productTop AIO water cooling
Works without problems, is very quiet. Looks really nice with the round display on the pump, which displays info like the temperature etc. after choice. Also the software that comes with it is good.
The holder for the LGA1700 socket for the Alder Lake processors should be there from Nov. 2021, with us that was not yet the case and this was delivered uncomplicated with the post.Pro
- Works perfectly
- Easy to install
- Cool design with OLED screen
- LGA1700 socket was delivered free of charge
- Very quiet (pump and fans)
Contra
- No
