I give this 3 stars because it keeps my 3800x very cool for the size, but it's not perfect. The fans are very loud compared to Noctua fans. They make this annoying whirring at certain RPMs, usually 35-40% and then again at higher percentages. Also, the LEDs are very dim. Even at max brightness, its the dimmest LEDs in my case. For the money, I would expect at least brighter LEDs. Also, CAM needs to be running in the background, and you need to set a profile for the pump, otherwise it will run at almost 100% and be very loud. Make sure to do some research on how to mount your radiator so you don't get annoying gurgling sounds or mount it in such a way where you shorten the lifespan of the pump. Also, the pump is only a 3pin, which means you can't use the motherboard to control it. CAM is a must.

Great cooler for the price. Overall pretty quite under load and very good temps. Did have some problems regarding excess noise but was just due to common air bubbles. Also looks great with the mirror effect.

Currently using this AIO with my Ryzen 5 5600X and Ncase M1. Keeps it cool and runs quiet. Don't hear any weird pump noises. The tubes are a perfect length for this SFF case. Premium materials.

Been a fan of NZXT forever but I bought this as an open box and it was not what I expected. it looked used. It's definitely a hit or miss but if you can get a good one for a better price don't hesitate NZXT AIOs are one of the best IMO.

Looks good and fits perfectly. Fans are quiet. Only thing is I can't be sure if it's firmly placed against the cpu. Seems to be working, but Idk. Cpu gets to 80 degrees c. So Idk... Could have been better in terms of fitment on the cpu. Instructions were little help.

As someone who has a custom water loop in my gaming PC, I appreciate the simplicity in an AIO when building my small form factor stream PC. Everything is well built and works great.

This AIO is beautiful and I saw a good 5-10 Celsius reduction in temps from my last AIO. The mirrored RGB display is eye candy for those looking for a flashy build.

Nice looking AIO. It does it job, able to cool and manage my AMD Ryzen 9 5950x. On idle, I get about 30-41 temps. With gaming load I average about in 60s temp.
