Great AIO cooler hampered by poor instructions
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked this up to replace a cheap Arctic air cooler that wasn't getting the job done. I discovered my CPU temps were hitting 91c when playing New World on that air cooler. I installed this MAG Liquid cooler and the temps while playing have dropped by about 35c! That's an incredible difference. I no longer hear the CPU fan ramping up and down. Now I only hear the GPU fan when it's working hard, but at least it's a consistent and less annoying sound. My main complaint is the lack of good instructions. Would it have been too much to ask for a well written installation guide? I had to watch YouTube videos to figure out the best way to install this. Also, I recall the Corsair brand of CPU AIO coolers being easier to install the copper heat sync portion of the cooler than this MSI cooler. I had trouble and had to have my wife help hold the back plate in place behind the motherboard while I forced the screws to thread in. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the poor instructions and difficulty installing the heat sync to the CPU. Other than that the product definitely does what it has set out to do; keeping that CPU cool!

works good for amd but not highend intel
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed on 10900k and the performance is not there... I tried adjusting fan curve and pump speed multiple ways and the best performance I can get out of it is with a 100 percent fan load at 50 degrees c and 100 percent pump speed at all times and in a cinebench r23 my 10900k still reaches 95 degrees... which is max intel recommends and I had problems with my motherboard so having to rma it made me miss my return window... I know a 240mm aio on a 10900k is prob just not enough but I still expected more from msi... would not recommend for any cpu ending in a k.... on a positive note tho... I also tried ot out on my ryzen 3900x.... I do not remember how hot it got but it was not dangerous without touching the fan or pump curve... so depends on what your rocking...

Better Cooling
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.chose this because it was on sale and I also needed extra fans, it is aesthetically pleasing, adds lighting to my build, better cooling, and extra fans. It is rated a tier one aio from the LTT aio tier list so i felt comfortable choosing this aio. it keeps my cpu cooler than the cpu fan i used. so far pleased with my purchase.

Died at the 7 month mark
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This AIO worked great for the first few months I had it. A few weeks ago, I heard some rattling from the cooler and a few minutes later, my PC powered off. When I turned my PC back on, I checked the temps of my CPU, and at idle, the temperatures were 80-95C! Upon inspecting the AIO cooler, I did not feel any circulation from the pump. Would not recommend this cooler.
