    When the aio was working i saw some pretty decent temps. after a couple of months though the cooler pump died causing it to overheat, the fans themselves have decent flow.

    Great AIO this thing is amazing, don’t worry about orientation as well in the pc case since the pump is built in the radiator instead of the cooling block. This also makes it easier to install not worrying about a heavy pump/cooling block swinging around! After buying this one I purchased the 360R version for another build.

    This was extremely easy to install for my Ryzen 3900x, but that’s where the goodness ended. Temperatures weren’t much better than air cooling. I have decent air cooling but I expected more of a difference. The fans are also loud. I switched them with fans from another cooler and it ran much quieter. The RGB connectors were loose on both fans, one was so loose it would have fallen off if I moved my PC, the other wasn’t much better. I was considering buying better fans but considering the performance wasn’t what I expected and adding decent fans adds to the cost I’ve decided to return this and try a Corsair cooler.

    Sad I couldn't use this in the build. Beautiful design. Amazing build quality, and on the test bench it had huge cooling performance. This AIO does everything right. Alas, it did not fit in the final build. Not MSI's fault. I can't measure apparently.

    Bought this after upgrading to a Ryzen 9 5900. I wasn't sure if dual fans would work, but the case size was limiting. Seems to work just fine. After several hours of gaming Tarkov, COD, the CPU temp remains at 70 C or less. Just make sure to watch a video on installation; MSI instructions are not helpful.

    This was my first ever purchase towards an AIO liquid cooling solution. Sadly, it will also be my last, at least for now. Installation was not for the feint-hearted, especially if you don’t have a very cable-friendly case (looking at you, Focus G). I eventually got through it, and boy was it worth it. Temps decreased significantly, even reaching 10 degrees Celsius below a standard air cooler. I did have to fiddle around with my motherboard settings to optimize the fans. Oh, and the fans were very, very quiet! Unfortunately, the positives end there. In the first week, I would often hear a faint bubbling sound while I was simply browsing the web. It only got worse through the months. The fans would sometimes kick on full at random times and I realized my temps would be hitting 80C sometimes 90C (!!!). My first mistake was thinking nothing of it and proceeding to just set the fans to 100% since they were relatively quiet anyway. At one point I had to safely transport my entire desktop for a LAN party. It was fine there at the party but when I came home, the overheating problems started to occur more frequently. Thermal throttling started to happen. Eventually my computer would shut-off by itself to prevent thermal damage. Now, I’m not exactly sure if I received a faulty unit, but even if I did, that’s not okay. I’ve seen several occurrences of this throughout the internet with this exact model. To put it bluntly, this has ruined water cooling for me. I ended up replacing this one with a more reliable air cooler that had more or less the same performance as a liquid cooler. So if you’re reading this, be very cautious. Your mileage may very. Do your research, and don’t be afraid to put a little bit more money into more reliable products.

    before buying the AIO my CPU was idling at about 88c with a cheap CPU cooler. This AIO brought my temperatures down by 40 degrees. increasing the life span of my CPU and increasing my fps. Easy to install. Great purchase.

    Awesome AIO for the 3700x

    AIO works great, fits good in my case cool master h500 case. idle around 30 degrees or so and 50-60 range for load when gaming which is the most I push my pc on anyways. I use a 3700x ryzen cpu, my temps on stock during gaming would reach around 72-75 max and 40-50 during web browsing, youtube, etc.. So Im pretty happy with the results. Came with its thermal paste amount or you could use you own if you choose too. My mother board has a 4 pin header, and the AIO has a 3 pin rgb connector, so unfortnuately I cant use the Rbg on my AIO for the time being until I find an adaptor for it. I like that the pump is actually built in the radiator, which is suppose to prolong its lifetime and being away from the main heat source is always a good thing, good job so far MSI

    This is a nice radiator and it is on the low side of the price scale. But don't let the price fool you, just cause it is cheaper doesn't mean it isn't a good one. Plus I wanted full RGB for my build and this has that.

    I purchased this to replace a 7 year old Silverstone Tundra water cooler on a 4th gen i7. Way quieter and prefer the top of the case mount style better. Ran 3D Mark Time Spy. Max temp 47 C.

    A wonderful cooling solution. I have mine running on an 11700K 8 core i7 and, under maximum load, it never exceeds 60C. The RGB works very well, and it’s an attractive piece.

    Cools great 33c at idle and 70 at cod warzone The fans are quiet at idle and pretty good noise level when gaming. Orientation of this AIO does not matter as the pump is in the radiator. I recommend it.

    Very different from all previous AIO coolers I've used. But it's easier to install and stays super cool when the radiator is above and at the top most position of the case. Idle temps were 30/31c.

    I used this in a build for a friend. Since everything inside was MSI, I decided to give their AIO a shot. I’m glad I did. Great temps and a rotating pump head are the highlights here. The RGB and fan control is a breeze with the right software, particularly if you’re pairing this with other MSI components. My friend was blown away when I showed him his new PC. The first thing he commented on was how cool the logo on the pump head was, and I tend to agree. Great looking and performing cooler and paired with other MSI parts, this looks incredibly nicer than the price tag suggests.

    To be honest about this product it was a little hassle to put it in but that’s probably because I had the wrong case for it but all in all super cool and keeps my CPU from overheating, make sure your motherboard is compatible first though

    I never done a liquid cooler before until now. Great size, little to no fan noise. Runs very smooth. Love the rotating processor mount. Install was very easy. RGB is really nice and works flawlessly on my z390 pro carbon mother board. really like the cooling numbers when over clocking. Cost is less than other and performs very nice. I recommend this MSI liquid cooler. They have some top products.

    Cool design, and that is where the fun ends. Stopped working after about 2 months. No damage to my computer, not too much of a cooling boost either. Was not able to receive any help from the official manufacturer, also not under warranty from best buy. Look elsewhere for a better cooling system.
