" ... The thumb screws didn’t go in and wouldn’t come off without force, but once I got them the right way, it was a very easy install. ... "
" ... So, if you only use 3 screws or break a mounting tab like I did, don't worry 3 mounting screws are sufficient. ... "

" ... I have a Thermaltake Chaser II case. ... I solved that by putting lengths of weather stripping on the case top, and letting the cover sit on it. ... "
" ... I happen to have a board that would accept a FM2+ back plate I had laying around and so I was able to make this work. ... "

" ... It's incredibly quiet compared to other CLCs I've used. ... "
" ... The only reason I'd have to cut their speeds would be to extend those part's longevity, not to decrease noise. ... "
" ... The pump is almost perfectly silent at full power, and the fan bearings are surprisingly quiet as well. ... "
" ... Does the job very well while keeping noise to a minimum. ... "
" ... I should also note that the 4 fan set up is very quiet and at full load they make less noise than the 1 fan on the CM Hyper 212 I had running yesterday. ... "
" ... And even during CPU stress testing, the noise level was excellent. ... Indeed, most of the noise of my build is from the fans that came with my Corsair case. ... And those fans are quiet. ... It was that quiet. ... Even during the stress testing, the 360 fans were relatively quiet. ... "
" ... Fans are quite decent, the PWM sharing is very nice and these run QUIET! ... "
