    I love this product it works great and was fairly simple to install. You can display your own gifs/ customize your screen with ease. I was originally missing a few minor parts (I bought it open box) but Best Buy was super helpful in getting them to me the same day!

    Quick to install, LCD screen looks great, and it comes with the AMD and Intel brackets. There is a rattling noise inside the pump caused by air bubbles which can be fixed by putting the pump at 100% until it’s gone.

    Overall its great. Not much to complain about. The temps of the liquid do get a bit hotter than likeable. It could also just be the config I have it in. Aside from that oooohhh LCD and ooohhh unicorn vomit.

    This thing runs hot. when gaming runs between high 60s to high 70s. I've try 3 different thermal paste and same outcome. Its a all Lian Li build but i use the fans that came with it and my own fans so something wrong with pump or radiator. My other 2 builds run Lian Li AiO and same games that were run tempt kept an easy high 40s to 50s. But the screen is gorgeous that's why it was purchase. Will return to exchange for same and see how thhat one goes.

    If you’re a heavy gamer and your setup supports the install then this part is a must. Definitely suggest a power supply with 800W and up. Make sure the rest of your build is capable of supporting this part before buying. I run a 3080 for reference and make 850W of power. Also make sure you install NZXT to fully customize and monitor your new CPU.

    Above average cooling temps, a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures but still amazing. Bunch of really cool features and customization. If your not going for looks on your pc I would def recommend something a little bit cheaper

    Great temps on a 9800x3d. The system was running the CPU a little warm for my comfort, lol, but after some tweeking, i found the AIO comes set in a silent mode from the factory. Switched to performance for a 5-10° celcius drop. Fan/pump noise was neglible even though speeds were increased. The screen is large and pronounced, and the customization makes it very practical. Id recommended this product.

    Love the screen but everything about it feels cheap. The plastic around the screen and pump feels like a cheap toy. The braided water lines also feel cheap. it's way louder than my old kraken. Still does the job but I'm worried about how long it will last.

    I should have listened to the other reviews. A few main points regarding this CPU cooler, ill start off with objectively true things regardless of opinion. 1. The tube sleeving is cheap, frays apart, and looks “baggy.” 2. The LED isn’t properly diffused so you can easily see the LEDs on the pump block. 3. If don’t have CAM running, the LCD screen is irrelevant 4. Very expensive. For being $315 after tax, this is very disappointing. On the flip side, if you are already running everything NZXT, and want good performance, this does well. Kept my 9800x3d at 67 degrees C at max load. If you want this for aesthetics or performance, you are better off looking at alternatives. Maybe NZXT can improve the general build quality of this in the future.
