Works great for a single 120mm fan cooler. Good for smaller form self built PC use.

Not a bad little cooler for a small pc build. Pay attention to how you hook up lighting for it.

I bought this because I prefer water cooling to heatsinks and fans. I tested it for about an hour and the performance was unacceptible. My processor was running about 20C hotter.

A lot of controversy around this cooler I bought it open box from Best Buy and had problems off the rip with it not cooling. I do appreciate that you are able to return with no problem.

Failed After 1 Year

Bought this to replace another failed AIO. This lasted just over 1 year and I now have to replace it. It does have a warrant but good luck getting their cusotmer service to respond in a timely manner. They are going to tell you to pull it off and shake it. There is particulate that builds up in the coolong loop. Well its enclosed and its just going to get stuck again. I would not reccomend this part for your build.

I got this because I thought this was a good cooler. I was wrong. Within a couple of days of me getting this, my computer was overheating. Lucky my pc has a safeguard to shut down when it's hot. It was at 95c, Also no instructions came with the cooler, and I had to look it up online so lucky I had a laptop. I used extra thermal paste and this is bad design. Don't buy.
