" ... This cooler function great on initial impression. ... "
" ... I used the 2 white fans on the bottom for push and placed 2 of my previous fans pull over it. ... It looks great and when i need to push my Ryzen 5, I can max the fan RPM output and it stays below 35C. ... "
" ... Nonetheless, it cools my 1700x as needed and looks awesome. ... Also because of the decent cooling. ... Overall, this is a good AIO cooler if you are looking for a good mix of looks and performance. ... "
" ... The heat blew the stock cooler away with 90+ celcius withen a couple minutes. ... Idle is around 27 celcius on the aio vs. 45 on the stock cooler. ... You will be very happy with this cooler. ... "
" ... absolutely excellent cooler, and im not even considering the rgb lighting in that statement. ... "
" ... Keeps my AMD Ryzen nice and cool! ... If you have enough exhaust fans then mounting at the front works great. ... "
" ... Works with my 8700k and cools it just fine below 70 c at 4.9 ghz at stock below 60 c. ... "
" ... Goes perfect with my winter theme. ... Haven't had any issues with cooling nor leaks and that's my 1 month review ... "

" ... This AIO is solid it keeps my CPU at 32C idle and low 60s when load. ... "
" ... I've had this aio for a couple months now and it works great got my I7 8700k overclocked to 5ghz and the hottest the cpu has gotten is 77c and its a great buy very good quality love the way the led looks fans are great no need to replace them put some noctua fans on and the ones that come with the aio work just as good over all very happy with this product ... "
" ... CPU 3.9ghz ... "
" ... Works very well. ... "
" ... Other than that it works very well and it looks really cool just set the pump to full speed. ... "
" ... In you bios make sure the fan header it's in is PWM and make the pump perform at max speed, if you don't your going to have a really bad time. ... "
" ... I can overclock past max and still runs smoothly. ... "

" ... The mounting hardware was a little more complicated than others I've used, namely corsairs, but at the same time feels rock solid and was physically easy to get together and came with the required AM4 components, the manual could be better but it still got the job done and facilitated the installation. ... "
" ... Other vendors have been a bit clever, and used the existing mount points after taking off the AMD clips. ... "
" ... With good hoses. ... "
" ... You can adjust the hoses so they get around parts and not be in the way. ... "
" ... Some fins on the radiator were bent , not damaged but bent. ... Also the tubing could be a tad shorter, although the tubing is very very soft which is great. ... Build quality is up there with Corsair and NZXT. ... "
" ... You can tell DEEPCOOL put great effort into building this case. ... "
" ... The pump copper plate comes with pre-applied thermal compound wich will work just fine but it is always best to use a higher grade compound like mx4 to have the best possible heat transfer. ... "
" ... Looks very sleek and works well, just make sure your case can accommodate it. ... "
