This water cooler is a little pricey and amazing at keeping CPU temperature down (constant 30° while gaming on an I7 7700). I'm very happy with this purchase BUT while it does have RGB on the pump, I do wish it had an RGB variant (RGB fans included/radiator) like some of the others Corsair has available. Here are some quick tips though.. When choosing your water coolers radiator size, make sure your case has enough space to fit in the 360mm radiator AND the clearance for the motherboard as well. Some cases might have to have the water cooler installed first before putting your motherboard in to save a headache or two. Again, very happy with the cooling but just the price was pretty expensive not to include the RGB fans which I bought separately and installed on the radiator.

Keeps the cpu cool under extreme loads. If you do a lot of heavy gaming this all in one cooler will not let you down. The rgb lighting looks nice as well. It is also easy to install.

Temperatures on my i9 9900ks top out in the high 50’s/low 60’s. The stock pre-applied thermal paste/strip thing is terrible. I used it initially and when I went to re-seat it (and replace the paste) you could see that it had barely made contact. Also really disappointed they don’t have a “Platinum RGB” version like they do with the smaller coolers. Worst thing about it though is the sheer number of cables required. There’s something like 4-5 cables coming off it, including 3 fans, and a plug-in mini USB-B plug that’s large and cheap looking. It does, however, perform excellently and looks pretty good when you manage to button it all up.
