    Looks and works flawlessly. NZXT CAM software is also super easy to work with. Packaging came with everything needed to install whether you're using AMD or Intel. Not much else to say, can't go wrong with this.

    Easy to install, clean setup, and excellent cooling performance compared to your traditional CPU cooler. The infinite mirror effect is a nice touch too.

    This aio was a must buy for me. My Ryzen 3600 would reach ridiculous temps of up to 90 or more while gaming but this cooler dropped it down to no more than 65. My case has terrible airflow so I assume temps would be even lower with a good case. No regrets with this purchase.

    So I’ve had this cooler for a few weeks now. The install was fast and easy and I’ve had zero issues so far. It keeps my system nice and cool and goes great with the look of my components.

    The install was a bit tricky in a mid tower, but the performance is on par with every other 240mm AIO. Visually these are the best AIOs in my opinion, that made this model an easy choice.

    Installation into a smaller mini tower case was made possible by the mounting flexibility of the radiator and fans. The radiator is on the inside of the case front panel and the fans on the outside, giving the build room for a rather large video card (RTX 3080TI). The old 120 system was replaced because of fan cycling noise. This cooler is silent under normal load and just whispers when CPU loading is at 100% (AMD 5900X) while maintaining very acceptable temps (mid 70's). Bang for the buck this is an excellent choice.

    Love this cooler. Gonna slapped some noctuas on it and make it whisper quiet. The fans are good but would rather have some black noctuas.

    Easy install and does what its suppose to do. Using to cool a Ryzen 5 3600...temp is usually between 35 - 45c under load...NZXT cam works well with controlling the RGB and fan speeds. Overall nice Aoi.

    This is a great AIO coolers. I’ve used several brands like Corsair, MSI, and Asus but find the NZXT coolers are the best. Corsair pump was louder, Asus was overpriced and the MSI had subpar stock Ganda which was likely a contributing factor to it not cooling as well as the other. I recommend the NZXT 240 and 360 because the worked well for me.
