I had considered water cooling in the past but it was bulky, prone to leaks after a few years and only provided a marginal bit more of cooling

A little bit cumbersome to

The directions were a bit vague but usable

I'll take that any day!It didn't come with any installation instructions, which was a bit strange

Installing the bracket in the CPU block can test your patience a bit too, but you'll sort it out quickly, even with a slightly confusing manual

The tubes are a bit hard to articulate in place, but patience will usually get you through that stressful installation

It has cooled it a bit more.

The fans can be a bit loud for my taste but they do move some air

I have my CPU running at 4.3 GHz as 4.5 was a bit unstable

A bit complex on the install, and some confusion in how it should be wired (there are two 3-pin connectors, one for the fan (which most likely will replace your existing 120mm rear fan) and one for the pump

Otherwise it was nicely made, didn't leak a bit, seemed to move heat away efficiently, quiet

Note : if you use X99-Delluxe/3.1USB MoBo the USB connector below the pomp will not fit well between the pipes , not on top or below very hard to fit so it is not best choice to use it with this MoBo , if the connector was not right curved there will be no issue , the manual show the USB on top bit it is not

The tubes are a bit stiff to accommodate in the case but its doable

I was a bit reluctant in actually trusting this solution

I did find the noise level a bit above what I expected but far better than the stock CPU fan + old exhaust fan in the rear of the box

This Corsair brand fan is much quieter then the one I

Now when I encode videos, the hottest I've seen my CPU get up to is
