Re-ordered and has worked great!!
So I ended up buying two of these, the first one had a clog which only allowed it to use 1/3 of the radiator causing my PC to overheat. Best Buy was super understanding, they acknowledged that MSI did a recall and gave me a refund. I waited a while and ordered a new one. It’s been working great since!!! No over heating and it’s handled like a champ!!!

DO NOT BUY THIS
Wish I would’ve read the reviews on this before buying it. I got my son a smaller Case, but his air cooler was too tall for the side glass panel. Only picked this one because it was on the less expensive end of 360mm AIO’s and it Matched his MSI MPG b550 motherboard. After getting everything installed and fired back up, I instantly heard what I thought was a ziptie or Velcro ticking on a fan. Didn’t think much of it. I went into BIOS to set the XMP profile on his new RAM and noticed the temperature in the high 80c range, but it dropped to 65c (Still high for practically idle) before exiting the BIOS. As soon as I exited, instantly got a temperature warning and shut it down immediately. I let it cool down for a while and turned it back on. It was still making that ticking noise, but it quickly got to windows. Before I could even get MSI center pulled up it shut itself down. After letting it cool for a bit more, I decided to plug the pump into the provided molex connector thinking maybe the pump header was somehow disabled or faulty. With the back panel off I noticed some Velcro that I forgot to cut in front of one of the side fans and thought “Yep this is where that noise was coming from” and plugged in the molex connection to the PSU. Turned her back on to hear the same noise and instantly knew the pump was shot. It’s 9:30pm MST and I’m to defeated to install the air cooler and make sure the CPU isn’t toast. I’ll update the review tomorrow and see if I need a new 5600x

Good cooler for the price
Bought this an up grade from the 240 version. So I could put that one in my daughters pc. This is an awesome cooler and the price isn’t too bad either. It works great haven’t seen temp over 60c and looks great ad well in my pc. I would recommend this.just make sure that your case is big enough for it to fit.

Killed a Ryzen 5800X
I got this cooler because some review sites gave it a good rating. At first the cooler was doing a decent job cooling my 5800X. The gaming temps were in the mid 70's. After only 2 months, I noticed that my temps were 90 when just moving my mouse. WHEA errors on my CPU. After getting a replacement 5800X, I heard that this cooler family has issues. I decided to open up the block and found that the liquid inside had crystalized. When it did this, it let the CPU get too hot and fried the CPU. I returned this cooler as there was no way I could trust any replacement of this item. Having this issue crop up now makes me think that the performance was never as good as it should have been, most likely the crystallization was already present in the fins and was cutting off circulation from the start. There are a LOT of posts about this including videos from mid size youtubers where these are taken apart and have either crystals or bacteria growth. The quality control is not good. Don't risk your CPU. Thankfully the local store manager took care of me and gave me store credit. The pictures taken were 60 days after installation.
