Pros & Cons
Pros
I wish corsair and msi would work on the proper holders for the cooler. The rgb is nice this time around on both the fans and the pumps. Keeps a 12600kf 5. Ghz (p/e core) all core overclock nice and cool.
Important to install the rad higher than the pump in order for the longevity of its life. Pump is a little noisy compared to the fans but nothing extreme. Difference in noise levels between quiet mode and extreme mode isn't noticeable.
Cons
Icue software insists on taking up more screen space than necessary. Software demands not-infrequent updates that fix none of these shortcomings. This review is just a beware review, like anything you can get * and i just got * a couple hundred dollar... Read More

Highlights
Quality
I love this thing, still working well after 3 years, looks fantastic, keeps cool, easy to install, solid build quality.
Really good aio coolers, one of the best in the market, easy installation (read instructions carefully, well briefed).
This product is very quiet, even under heavy load.
Cpu has never gotten hot even when overclocked.
Price
A bit pricey for the looks, great cooling, amazing contact with cpu, never runs hot.
- face plate can be replace with a lcd later- great price for the performance
Corsair website shows 20$ for 4 tiny screws which is ridiculous.
It was a bit expensive at 200$ for this aio.
Packaging/appearance
With all the review mentionning that it's actually a mystery if the package come with the lga 1700 mounting screws, mine came with it.
Came pre applied thermal paste on the head of the cooler, i accidentally touched mine taking the cover off to early forgetting ... Read More
My package did come with lga 1700 standoffs.
Competitiveness
Also msi software is not great, icue could be improved but it's better.
I ended up getting this corsair aio instead and i will probably sell my msi replacement unit.

When we first booted a new build the fans with the cooler were working fine but the pump itself wasnt functioning reaching 100 degree temps pretty shortly after booting

After an hour of research i find out that its because of the connection to the commander core itself although it appeared to be plugged in its a common problem and you actually have to really force it with the connection
