Solid Buy
Love the display and it does a pretty good job at cooling fast, do be warned that it might not be compatible with most cases I had to go out and buy a bigger case and even then I had to front mount it, however it is very nice and it comes with pre applied thermal paste

Keeps a 16-core reasonably cool.
Great cpu aio cooler. I have a 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 5950x and it’s able to keep it reasonably cool. I’d say NZXT probably has some of the most reliable AIOs compared to other brands. It also has a software controlled LCD display that you can put any GIF on.

Top notch AiO. keeps my i7 12700k nice and cool under load. Top mount exhaust set up on a H6 flow case. Slide towards front of case so there’s room for CPU power connectors and such. the other RGB items are from amazon. Syrlyr extension cords. then a cheap GPU anti sag bracket. and yes you can get it to work with Nzxt cam software
