    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Despite the bad press that NZXT is getting right now, they still make great AIO coolers. Yes, they do come at a premium because of the screens and the obligatory inclusion of fans, but this cooler knocks it out of the park. I just recently upgraded to a 9800x3D and decided to pair it with this cooler. So far, the temperature has not gone above 65C even under load, and idles between 38C and 42C. I would definitely recommend to anyone who can afford it.

    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

    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.
