My last liquid cooling system stopped working so I had to buy a new one. Before buying make sure to get measurements to see if this is the correct size for your PC. After installing my CPU temps all came down to normal readings. Have had it for a few months and has worked great thus far.

Easy to attach and set up. Seems to do a good job of pulling the heat off of the CPU. The fan/radiator unit is thick, you'll need a large case or have to mount some of it outside your case.

This is one of the few AIO coolers that fits the Phateks Evolve shift, which is pretty small.
I had to bend the water pipes quite a bit to get the case to close, but had no issues and I'm getting good temps (~75C) under load for an i7-8700K overclocked to 4.9 GHz (multiplier only).

I had to purchase this cooler because the h100i did not fit my case. This seems to be good for a small radiator/cooler. Beware the 2 fan design may not fit every case/configuration.

This liquid cooling system is a lot quieter than the one that came with my computer. It works perfect. Had the geek squad install it. They always do good work.

Great AIO for users who can actually fit it

I bought the H80i about 2 years ago from another store.
Pros: It does what it does. It's a great little AIO (All in one) water cooler that supports as much cooling as larger air based CPU coolers. Installation takes something to get used to if you haven't done it before (This was my first water cooler). The push-pull configuration of the twin fans on the radiator provide great cooling. A great plus is the ability to control the fan via the USB header on the motherboard. You can monitor temp, set fan speeds, and change the RGB LED to suit your needs.
Cons: MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE.
Make sure your board supports this (or any other) cooler before purchasing. Then check if there is enough case room to fit the cooler and where you will place it. Because of the twin fan configuration, the overall thickness of the combo may cause issues. I strongly suggest reading types of configurations and find the one best suited for you.
If you don't mind noise coming from your PC, then this AIO is fine. The fans really can get loud when running the computer hot. Although, this is from my experience and I am overclocking my computer from 3.5 to 4.2 GHz
Conclusion: First time buying this (or any) aftermarket cooler? Do your homework and check if your board can handle it, and if your computer can actually fit it. Other than that, this AIO water cooler has lasted me over 2 years with an overclocked computer and has never failed me. It does a great job in cooling the CPU when I'm running games at High settings, although it does tend to get loud when I'm really pushing my computer.
Happy Gaming.
