Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!!!

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

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.

This Revision One Worked Good, Thanks Looks Awesome.

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.

Not too happy barely a month of ownership and pump is already chirping and yes before you ask yes it is installed correctly

Looks awesome and works great. Running it with a i7-11700k and haven't seen a temp above 70c under heavy load (warzone, forza horizon 5)

I’m very happy with coller, it’s good and has a beautiful design, satisfied!!!

It’s not the best and coming from Msi I was actually ashamed, they should’ve put the money where their mouth is, my last one (with 2 fans instead) crapped out with in a year like cmon that’s embarrassing

I bought this to cool my ryzen 9 7900x and temps looking really good! Love this product!

Easy to install. Cooling is great. Installed on a Intel I7 10th gen. Fans are quiet. Works with the MSI Mystic Light software. Would definitely use it again in another build.

Runs great and looks cool with my caseless setup. Real quiet

bad one, I bought this in march 2023, and 3 months later june 2023 my cpu is running 200f. Buy this if you want to fry some eggs on your cpu.

Looking online for AIO, saw this, reads descriptions, read Q&A, says it is compactible with 5900X. Bought it, installed it, yes it is compatible... for installation, doesn't work for cooling, turned fan to turbo and Cpu still at around 55 degrees idle. (CPU overheated twice and shut down for downloading on steam) Brought AIO with other PC parts and pc parts were late, after finding out about it's cooling, too late for return.

looks really good, relatively easy to install and cools better then a regular heatsink

Coolant clogs the system in at least some of these, possibly all of these, I'm not sure. Otherwise it is a great AIO, and super easy to install. You'll want some decent thermal paste, although it comes with a tube of some that has a lower heat conductivity rate. I wouldn't recommend this AIO unless you want a project and the price is right. My fault for not researching, but to mount it correctly in a Gungnir 110R pc case (tubes down), I had to cut the case to extend the cutout to mount it tubes down on the outside, having the fans inside pulling air in. no front cover, Rad acts as a dust cover and runs cooler this way. Air is really moving through my case and nearly instant it's displacing the hotter air, overall works well but the coolant is solidifying and giving the pump some issues here and there and I hear a ticking noise at times. so Ill get a mayhem flush kit and some Thermaltake C1000 coolant (due to the copper and aluminum corrosion prevention). I say oh well.. but I couldn't recommend it unless you want to have others asking you how you pulled it off, lol or telling you to watch out for the temps, ultimately judging it as a problematic build which takes away from the several good things honestly.

Great price, easy to install and it keeps my CPU cool!

Good performance and excellent value. This doesn't use the Asetek design like most coolers, the pump is in the middle of the radiator and one of the advantages would be that it can be safely mounted with hoses at the top of the radiator which is a convenient position in many cases.

It has a nice design and fhe rgb fans look good enough but the limited compatibility and pump in rad design means I can only side mount it. For the price this might be the best price to performance 360mm aio you can find.

Bought this to replace a 280 mm cooler for a Ryzen 5900x. I was getting ~40 - 45c idle temp and 68c max in Cinebench R23 on that cooler. I was hoping to drop this down into the mid-30s C idle and low 60c under load but the opposite occurred. I used thermal grizzly kryonaut, the paste that came with the cooler and VR-7 and temps never went below 50c idle, and in the 70c under load. There was audible pump noise, which is not supposed to be an issue with this unit as the pump is in the radiator. Possible my unit had pump issues, and coolant wasn't circulating optimally. The fans are also unbearably loud above 1500 RPM. Using MSI Center, the auto fan tuning ramps all 3 fans to 100% above 70c, which is server room loud. After tuning the fans to appropriate levels, the noise was acceptable but there was a fair amount of resonance noise when fans would ramp up/down. I wanted to like this cooler, but between the thermals increasing with a larger radiator, and the noise... this product misses the mark.
