  • Gimme linux support!
This is the first AIO I have purchased and it seems to be doing its job as intended. This was put in a white Hyte y60 case as it seemed to be one of the only 280mm white AIO. I was originally going to buy the last gen version of this cooler, but figured I might as well buy this new one which just got released. Glad I did too as the larger screen is much nicer to look at. All of my opinions here are based on the out of the box behavior of the cooler, no NZXT cam configuring was done. Performance: Cools my 7900x pretty decently. According to the cooler screen, it sits around 33-34 idling and the highest I've seen it hit is 37 degrees when doing short intense computations. Installation: Really straight forward with an AMD x670e board. Way better than my previous experience installing a BeQuiet! Dark rock pro 3/4 to an intel based system. It's also great that the cooler can be oriented at different angles (30 degree steps I believe) which gives it even more flexibility in installations. (the default orientation has the tubes coming out the bottom of the screen/coldplate. Rotating the screens image requires software) Noise: Runs quiet enough. I can somewhat hear the whoosh of the fans, however it is over powered by the stock fans my case came in. As for pump noise, I'm not entirely sure I hear it. Occasionally I hear a sound from my PC, but I have yet to determine if it is coil whine from my new build, or if it is the pump occasionally whirring. Fans: I plan on upgrading the fans at a later date with lian li infinity fans, but I have honestly been pleasantly surprised by how well the rgb looks. However, I would have preferred being able to buy the cooler without the fans and fan hub included. If I wanted NZXT fans, I would get NZXT. Let me make the choice and save money by not having to buy stuff I am not going to use. Linux software support: One gripe I have is that there is no official software support in linux. But I guess I can't complain too much as I am probably 1 of 3 people that it matters to. Still, I'd like to see companies like NZXT support projects such as openrgb and coolero/liquidctl. [Rant: Even if I ran windows, god forbid I install bloatware like NZXT cam + a million other rgb software to suck up my hardware resources. I just don't get why so much money is spent on software no one likes when NZXT could just spend a day giving the open source community the usb com specs for the cooler and reap the benefits of 'free' work.] Thankfully by default the leds on the fan are white, and the temperature on the screen is also colored white. One of these days when i have hours to waste, I will try fooling around with liquidctl and see if I can get the experimental controls to work. Conclusion: It's a high end, white, 280mm AIO with a big ol' screen. And its price reflects that. It looks great and the install is easy. If you are going to blow money on a high end AIO, its going to be pretty hard to beat this one. I really only have issues on the software side. ... show more

  • 10/10 Liquid CPU Cooler
The media could not be loaded. Looks very aesthetically pleasing and does a fantastic job cooling down my CPU, i used to sit at around 160-185Fahrenheit/ around 76 Celsius while running games but with this installed I’m running 110-140 Fahrenheit/ around 54 Celsius, i’m using a Ryzen 7 7700 (AM5)… many customizable options and very manageable to install I recommend looking it up on YouTube, there are many tutorials on how to install, overall I’m very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone trying to get into building a pc or if your looking for a great upgrade ... show more

  • Great AIO! Replace noisy fans with something else...
Beautiful AIO. Is pretty quiet. In fact, the pump is so quiet at the fan speed I have it set to that the provided fans became the noisiest aspect of the entire AIO at idle. They have this high pitch frequency that I could hear, especially above 25% fan speed. I bought some 'Be Quiet' 140mm fans and they are not only whisper quiet, they cool the AIO just a degree or two better. Would give 5 stars for quieter fans. ... show more

  • Better than I expected
The configuration options for the screen are awesome, with some options I didn't even realize it had (custom link/integrations, rotating picture/GIFs selection, and even direct GIPHY searching/uploading to the screen which is a nice touch as well). On top of all of that, it's kept my CPU perfectly cool even while playing 4K 120fps RT etc. Only slight knock on it I would say is the screen brightness could be a little better, but again it's a pretty minor complaint. ... show more
