Pros & Cons
Pros
It's in the bounds of a top tier cooler with only a few being better. Much more secure and far less fiddly than my older corsair 360mm aio. Highly recommended by tech testers like steve from gamers nexus.
One pin (either pump or cpu fan) on motherboard used as a 'tach' wire to show the motherboard there is a cooler installed. On the motherboard usb connection (requires two but cooler comes with a usb splitter cable) you need only occupy one usb motherb... Read More
About 88c cpu pkg temp, 33 c coolant temp in performance mode (full rpm fans, gets audibly loud but not unpleasant) i7 13700k running at 5600mhz on z790 taichi. Keeps my i9 13900k at good heat levels usually around 50c and 60c during gaming sessions.
If you enjoy showcasing your pc master race hardware, then this is a must have item for your build. Intel lga 1700 hardware comes standard, as does older intel, amd and thread ripper.
Cons
Too expensive for an unfinished product. Icue which i boycotted years ago is still garbage. Do not get duped.
All i can see from lcd screen is a staticky mess that i have no control over. The lcd screen rarely ever works. Now the lcd flutters like an old crt monitor with a poor signal.
Had to spend $500 to switch to corsair fans due to proprietary connectors. Trying to run ql series fans with this aio shows how corsair double dips to make money. Will not buy corsair brand products again.
Cooler master fans look much better and are a lot brighter. Cooler fans are outdated straight fin technology with dim leds. Software/screen is garbage.
Highlights
Quality
Three fans are included with the kit for the radiator.
Lcd screen is of high quality, probably a little better the ryujin ii 360 i returned for this.
Most of the problems are with the ique software that runs it.
This is way overkill for the ryzen 7 5800x that i have, but it’s still fantastic.
Price
Pros: keeps cpu temp down 10 deg c cooler than my stock 240mm.
Packaging/appearance
------original, old man rant of a review follows:-------hardware and packaging are top notch for consumer gear.
Competitiveness
Fits perfect in a nzxt flow h5 with a 6950xt
Other than that, icue update to version 5 seems to fix the issues of the previous version.
At the time of this writing, corsair's icue software does not allow you to rotate whatever is on the display.
Do yourself a favor, and try another brand.

It can take a lot of complaining to get companies to address such issues since they tend to have a sounds like a you problem mentality
