Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The only thing i don't like is the fan connector plug used to feed a tach signal back to the motherboard.

Corsair icue commander comes with no instruction manual. Cooler keeps cpu temperatures low even during demanding tasks such as gaming or video editing.

Build construction is great. Still a loads easier than a giant air cooler which typically have 6 loose bits and bobs you have to fit into tight spots. Almost on par with the arctic freezer ii 420.

This thing is fantastic. It’s driving me nuts too, i promise. Luckily amazon is awesome, and immediately sent a new one.

Cons

After the start the pump is blinking red and making clicking sounds. Switching to different usb connector has no effect. Software is able to see everything else - cpu temp, corsair mouse - but the pump.

Do not expect to overclock all core to some high number, just isn't going to handle the heat.

A custom loop will run you over $500 with a 360mm radiator.
