This cooler combines awesome looks with its custom screen with really great performance on idle and when under load. Recommend for anyone looking to build a high end white system. The only downside is the higher price compared to other coolers.

The best looking LCD AIO! Nzxt nailed it with the look of this AIO. I had the black version of this on my previous build that I gave to my brother because he did not like the Corsair lcd one which he returned (I don’t blame him lol). I was looking at other aios to try something different but I could not resist this beauty. I will use this for couple months then go custom water cooling. 10/10

Bought it for a 12900k with a Z690 Asus motherboard and the lga 1200 mount worked for the lga1700 socket. Don’t need to order the other adapter. Keeps it at 30 degrees Celsius and below idle. Max ive seen is 60 degrees Celsius. Excellent cooler.

Great hardware but limited by software requirement

Amazing hardware. Keeps my 12900k cool much better than the MSI unit it replaced. BUT you're required to use their Windows only NZXT CAM software for it to work correctly.
Specifically, you need the NZXT CAM software to start with your Windows machine every time to set fan and pump speed curves. If you start your machine without the software, the unit's ability to cool is severely hindered. Your settings aren't saved on the hardware. You HAVE to start the software for the settings to be applied. In my opinion, this is a very poor engineering decision.
For example: with NZXT CAM started, I can run Cinebench with PL1=PL2=241W without thermal throttling. However, restart the machine without starting NZXT CAM and run the same test, my 12900K thermally throttles within seconds and maintains 97+ deg C. As far as I can tell (and I searched), you cant control the pump through the BIOS, it's all software controlled. If the software crashes or exits (such as in between benchmarks or other resource intensive programs), the cooler no longer reacts to the CPU temperature and the CPU starts heating up without the pump and fans compensating for it.
I'm hoping to return this item since it's beholden to clunky and resource hogging software. Furthermore, what happens if NZXT decides to stop supporting an older version of Windows or this product? There isn't a version for Linux (although there is an open source alternative with limited functionality).
I'm pretty disappointed, considering how great the actual hardware is.

NZXT is Good quality product but I have pair with my I9 13900k and thermals reach 100° C doing a stress test on cinebench but even still questionable the performance cause while gaming reach 80° C, I did change thermal paste twice and ended up with Noctua Thermal Paste and still with Same Temps
