  • Cheap ($50??) and effective.
Color: FROSTFLOW X 280
Build quality is fine. It's pretty chonky, larger than I imagined, and hefty. The tubing is pretty thick and is covered in this braided material. There's a white LED ring and logo on the circular water block, and I appreciate how it's relatively minimalist. I'm using an NR200P V2 small form factor case so it was a bit difficult to install and the fit was tight, but in larger cases or cases that also have explicit 280mm AIO support, it should be okay. The manual was very short and the instructions were a bit lacking but fine overall, mostly just illustrations of what part goes where and in what order. For my AM5 CPU, it mostly boiled down to applying some rubber cushioning, screwing on some metal standoffs, attaching the water block, and securing it with more screws. The box comes with basic accessories like fitment brackets, screws, and thermal paste. The radiator fans are already daisy chained into one fan connector and the pump/cooling block has another connector. As a result, it looks like you can't fine tune anything other than the fan and pump speed from BIOS. This is fine for most use cases, especially at this price point. Previously, I was running a Noctua L9i cooler for my R5 7600X and the CPU would consistently hit 95C, and even 87C when I lowered the TJMax temperature threshold. I squeezed this thing in and temps went from that to the low 40s and 50s under load, which is incredible. Granted, you're not supposed to use a regular fan and heatsink in the NR200P V2 since it was specifically designed for AIOs, and comparing a low profile cooler to an AIO is pretty unfair, but this is still a hefty upgrade from before. I also got it for $50 which made it the cheapest option for a 280mm AIO I saw by far. Few complaints really, just wish the instructions were a bit more detailed. I'm also not sure what it is but there's a ticking or whirring sound coming from what I assume is the pump, which I have set to 80% speed at all times. The fans, which are on a curve, are also relatively audible. In practice though, you're not going to be able to hear these sounds between desktop audio, keyboard, mouse, background noise, etc. No notes on durability; only time will tell. Would buy again, will update if anything goes wrong. ... show more

  • Cools a Ryzen 7600x Easily
Color: FROSTFLOW X 280
Cooler was pretty easy to install. My motherboard has some big heatsinks, and I needed to squeeze the radiator in the case. It's quiet under 75% load. Once it hits 80/85% and up on the fans, you'll definitely hear it. On the upside, my Ryzen 5 7600x never goes past 86C (and that is stock. No Curve Optimizer, undervolting or anything). There's no real RGB lighting or anything, but the logo on the pump/sink lights up a sort of off-white. It looks good. Packaging was really nice, the radiator and fins were nice and straight and not bent. The fans, themselves are pretty nice. They don't look or feel cheap. I removed the SATA power adapter, the pump runs fine off the motherboard connector. If you look at this radiator and compare it to, say an Arctic, the Arctic radiator is noticeably thicker. It's something to consider, but for the price I paid and for the performance i'm receiving, i'm not complaining at all. EDIT (After a few months) I had to replace the fan y-splitter cable. I coiled it pretty tight and probably damaged it, one fan would spin up to 100% but the reported rpm would be low and the other fan would spin at the lower rpm. I think the splitter cable is fragile/stiff, and honestly I did some weird tricks to hide the cable in my case. Very good value cooler, and i'd buy ID Cooling products in the future. ... show more

  • A no-frills, GREAT, budget 280mm AIO Liquid CPU Cooler
Color: FROSTFLOW X 280
===TL;DR=== For the price point and the performance this cooler offers, I am beyond satisfied with my purchase and definitely recommend this cooler for anyone looking to get a no-frills, high performance, 280mm AIO without having to break the bank. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ===PROS=== ▶ Price ▷ Paid $49.99 (pre-tax) ▶ Performance ▷ 280mm Radiator vs a 240mm radiator = More surface area and larger fans that can run at lower RPMs to achieve the same level of cooling performance ▷ Works well being setup as a front intake push configuration ▷ It keeps my i7-11700K temperatures in check even under extreme synthetic load (230-250w sustained at 4.5GHz all core) with temps staying between 90-93c. ▷ Under a more reasonable load (125-150w), temps hover around the mid 50's! ▷ Under idle, temps hover around 30C or below. ▶ Fans ▷ The included 140mm fans come with a highly compact and convenient daisy chaining connector to reduce the amount of wires to route ▷ Fans move A LOT of air. Especially at higher RPMs ▷ The fans do their job without being obnoxiously loud as well. The loudest noise they make is from pushing air through the radiator when at higher RPMs. ▶ No Frills ▷ Installation was quick and easy ▷ Only 2 connectors / cables for the whole unit (one for the pump, and one for the daisy chained fans) ▷ Neutral design on the pump for both the lighting and logo (white LED ring with backlit pentagonal logo) ▷ No additional software needed to operate the unit ===CONS=== ▶ Pump ▷ Pump does have a noticeable hum to it at 100% speed, but reducing the speed to 75-80% makes it virtually inaudible over the rest of the system fans ▷ Wish the tubing connecting the pump and radiator was a little bit longer for easier routing ▶ Fans ▷ Wish the fan motors were quieter. Don't get me wrong, they are quiet, but they do make a noticeable sound. Overall, the sound isn't that disrupting to me because I am able to keep the fans spinning at a constant PWM of 35% (~750RPM) while maintaining great temperatures on my i7-11700K during most usage scenarios. ▶ Lighting / LEDs ▷ Very minor, but you can't turn off the LEDs on the pump even if you wanted to because their activation and brightness is directly controlled by the voltage being supplied to the pump. ===OTHER THOUGHTS=== I recently upgraded the CPU in my PC that I built back in 2021 from an i5-11600K to an i7-11700K. As part of the upgrade, I wanted to replace the CPU cooler I was using (be quiet! Dark Rock 4) because I had planned to transition the i5 and the previous CPU cooler into a Media Center PC build. Paying $49.99 (pre-tax) for a 280mm AIO feels like a steal because even the cheapest 120mm AIOs are sold at around $35 in price. So to only pay $14.99 more (pre-tax) to get OVER DOUBLE the amount of surface area is more than worth it! I have this cooler mounted as a front intake using a push configuration on my be quiet! Pure Base 500DX case. I ensured to mount the radiator inlet / outlet tubes oriented at the bottom to aid in preventing air bubbles from frequently entering the pump. I had originally wanted to mount it at the top of my case as an exhaust using a push config but I was unable to due to some clearance issues with the dual 8-pin CPU power cables going into my motherboard. Due to the physical size of the GPU I am using and the relatively compact nature of the case I am using, I had to route the tubes over the top of my GPU because the tubes are relatively short and it was the only way I could ensure the inlet and outlet remained at the lowest point of the loop. But, aside from a minor aesthetic difference, it was no big deal because I was able to get everything (tightly) squeezed in without any clearance issues. Overall, installation was easy although the installation guide was pretty minimal on instructions provided. I did not use the included thermal paste as I have another paste I prefer to use (Zalman ZM-STG2) so I cannot comment on that. I really like that they have a "daisy chaining" connection for the included fans so only having to connect and route 2 total wires was very nice. As mentioned in my Pros, I am running this on an i7-11700K. I have the pump set to run at 75% until the CPU temp reaches a sustained 90C where it then increases to 90% and then up to 100% if temps were to reach a sustained 95C. I have the fans configured to run at 35% PWM until CPU temperatures reach a sustained 90C where they increase to 70% PWM and then up to 100% PWM if temps were to reach a sustained 100C. Under normal gaming and usage loads, the pump never increases its speed past the 75% mark and the fans never increase their speed past the 35% mark which means that everything remains cool and quiet! This is one of the benefits of running a larger radiator with larger fans is that you are able to run everything at lower speeds to reduce noise levels while still maintaining low temperatures (see the Pros for more details on the CPU temps). To conclude, for the price point and the performance this cooler offers, I am beyond satisfied with my purchase and definitely recommend this cooler for anyone looking to get a no-frills, high performance, 280mm AIO without having to break the bank or pay for things like RGB, USB connection or other non-essential features. ... show more

  • Great bang for the buck
Color: FROSTFLOW X 280
Bought this to replace an aging NZXT X62 that I've been moving between systems for years. Performance is quite good: 36-38C idle and tops out at 68C under load on a 5800x3D in a Meshlicious ITX case. It's set to exhaust out the front and there s no other case fans for intake/exhaust (7900XT and a Corsair SF1000L that never spins the fan up). I'd say it does a fine job. There are fewer cables than a RGB AIO which makes installation in small cases quite a bit easier. The pump is pretty short (when compared to another Corsair AIO that I tried) so it fits well. ... show more

  • Worst computer part installation of my life
Color: FROSTFLOW X 280
I'll be honest upfront, I either didn't receive a manual in the box or somehow lost it in my tiny little workshop immediately after opening it. I was not able to find a pdf for the manual anywhere, nor any written instructions, so I watched a few youtube videos specific to this exact part and my socket as well as a few others using this part with amd and newer intel sockets. It seemed reasonably simple and the video I used as my main guide ran through the installation in less than five minutes. It did not turn out reasonably simple. The mobo had an unremoveable heatsink right in the way of the only place I could mount it (at the top with the radiator facing out), so I spent some time figuring out that it not only couldn't be removed, it prevented ANY of the mounting screw holes from being accessible. This turned into a truly frustrating experience (hopefully I didn't damage the mobo with my delicate but increasingly frustrated attempts) to at least replace the heatsink with something with a lower profile by mere millimeters thiough with [almost certainly] better performance via fresh thermal compound and a proper copper heatsink. So I wound up being forced to jury-rig some vent holes in the case to hold it in the correct position, so that wasn't too terrible despite the waste of time. Then came replacing the cpu (quick, easy) with a same-gen but much higher performance option with the hope this cooling system would allow for significant overclocking. This was truly a nightmare, and in my case would have been completely impossible to do alone - I had to enlist some help to hold the bracket in place. We kept dropping parts into the case due to the difficulty in access (can't imagine how aggravating and difficult this would be if you had a big gpu or a smaller case.) Still, most issues were our fault and while my particular hardware seemed to be determined to prevent this thing from being installed, this were progressing. Finally, the end! I put the thermal compound on the cpu and begin carefully pulling back the sticker on this AIO's heatsink. It was a children's sticker. The kind where the top tears off from the adhesive, leaving it behind - and this was done with actual care and slowly. Took a good hour with a gradual intensification of equipment and effort from some quality tweezers and isopropyl alcohol to razor blades and goo be gone. I couldn't believe they would put this sort of sticker on their heatsink, but they sure did. The whole thing took over an hour and a half, most of it with the help of a second person. I'm pretty good with this sort of thing, especially since my work revolves around similar upgrades to servers and high-end desktops for AI inference, but this was just awful. No extra parts either, you lose something, you're done. And the sticker was just... I mean seriously, what in the heck. I haven't yet turned this machine on, I'm pretty doubtful it survived this process, but we will see. Still, the time it took to install, lack of direction, relatively poor design, and all that make me wonder if I should hide behind a wall when I first turn it on lest the fans explode and impale me with plastic fan blade ninja stars. I will never buy from this manufacturer again. Spend an extra few bucks and get something decent, not this monstrosity. Both of us walked away after finishing in a near-rage and we don't even know if it works yet, it really was just that aggravating. It's not worth your time or the life-long cpu cooler PTSD you will acquire. ... show more

  • actually very good cooler.
Color: FROSTFLOW X 280
initially bought as a 'cheap' replacement while i RMA'd the one I was using, but its given exactly similar cooling results - and has the bonus of a non fear inducing tension clip system. Two things to note - 1) the included thermal paste tube is moronically long for the amount included (enough for atleast 1 pasting - I had to do 2 because of a case / number of hard drive issues - technically the tubes could be a few inches longer - mines mounted at the front tubes down), and 2) the fans I cant get down below 820 rpm no matter what fan control is set to (have to poke around in bios maybe - user error? probably). Also note The LED's Do Not Turn Off (I might desolder them actually....) weird how the LED-less one is more expensive. meh ... show more

  • One year in
Color: FROSTFLOW X 280
Temps don't exceed 55c while 4k gaming. Processor is a overclocked 5.3 gh 13700k paired with a 4070Ti no noise from the pump runs quite at about 34.5 Db cooling is great I live in Florida room temp is about 35c so like 70°F. I have no complaints other than the stock fans. Which I replaced with some Noctua fans that are quieter and at a higher Rpm but for the price can't beat it. One thing to note when mounting make sure that you have small ram sticks the radiator is quite thick and that added with the fans won't clear some ram like corsair rgb pro or dominator for example. I had to front mount my aio due to this issue. But if you have a bigger case than a corsair 4000d airflow you should be fine. Great product simple to install. Comes with thermal paste applied but I use thermal grizzly cryonaught. If you're doing an all black or non rgb build fits nice. If Rgb is your jam you can always get a set of lian li or corsair fans and attach them to your Rgb header. I will be cleaning the radiator this week and must say that after an entire year I could probably go another year without cleaning it. ... show more
