Now you can run these things with four fans, two on each side of it and we only have one fan total, that being said the performance this cooler puts out is so fabulous we didn’t bother thinking of a way to add the second fan, we could of rigged a smaller fan on one side to avoid hitting the mobo or even relocated

LED is AURA syncable, pump/fans have 3 base speed settings (Quiet, Balanced, Performance).

Now the pc overall is a decent build so you would think we needed the cooler to have both fans for optimal performance and cooling

how ever I like the performance

(I am a systems engineer, now I'm starting work in artificial intelligence hardware as a research and development lead) for massive cooling performance gains

Great performance for a decent price.

Good cooling performance, really happy with temps

Now how about the actual cooling performance

I almost went with the NZXT Kraken x72 but did some homework comparing the 2 and there isn't really a difference performance wise, less than a degree in difference plus the Kraken x72 is like $25

Not sure how it works as of yet as it has one major missing part

Going from an older model which didn't have this issue kind of sucks as it was a really nice selling point for me.

My overclock to 4.5 6 core x99 processor states at 25°c at idle and 50°c at load

Performance-TEMPS-Idle--Stock: Fans=1054/1080 RPM; CPU (mobo)=28 C; Case Ambient=27 C [

Here are the stats: before upgrade - idle - 18-28 Celsius, high res Youtube - 45-53 C; after upgrade - idle - 5-15 C, high
