With just a few caveats. It's well-built and competently designed. I have no problem downloading pdf docs, so the cost of doing a better job should be minimal.
Water rig makes for a very clean build, and less stress on the motherboard. Works with icue no brainer. Icue software lets me customize the lighting to match my setup.

Highlights
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

My package did come with lga 1700 standoffs.

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.
