    I desperately needed this cooling device as my computer was shutting off once reaching its max operating temperature. Got it quickly, with little hassle. Item worked perfectly once installed, up and running in twenty minutes.

    Great single fan IO cooler

    Great single fan IO cooler, however if you do have a smaller case beware as this is one of the bigger single fan IOs out there so may not be the best choice if you have a smaller or more condensed build.

    My first build with this type of cooling system. I am overall pleased with how easy the installation was and how well it efficiently cools the system.

    No LED on pump head

    The Kaken 120 does a good job of keeping my i5 - 12600KF cool but the LED in the pump head no longer works. It worked for the first week of use but not longer lights up. I have tried using different LED headers on the mobo to see if that will get it to light up but no such luck. I will be looking for a return or refund

    DONT BUY

    This Aio is good but most seem defective. it’s hard to understand on how to put on the motherboard and lacks power most times a when plugged in. I don’t recommend just go with a Corsair or a double fan of nzxt.

    Please don’t buy this awful product

    Didn’t last a year before the pump died. Please do not buy this dog water AIO if you care about your PC or person you are buying it for. It’s price and easy installation do not make for the lack of support from the brand company nor the lack of quality of the product itself. Spend the extra 20-40 on any thing but this.

    Dead on a prebuilt

    Avoid this unit, the pump is in the rad and mine was prone to overheating constantly. When I replaced it I opened the head unit and the copper plate was corroded and gunked up. MZXT might have improved QC on these but it is still an inefficient unit. Better to go for a decent air cooler or a 240 instead.
