Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy install, seems future proof. Installation was easy, the radiator easily fit within even a small case like the raidmax blazar atx mid tower. Don't forget you must download the install instructions, there's a link on the product page. The official ... Read More
Leds look nice and my gigabyte 650 recognizes them well. Comes with various lga sockets including lga 1700. Supported by both intel and amd (am4+5. Worked well with my msi amd setup.
Cons
Cooler is too big to fit inside a gigabyte z790 ud ac motherboard. The entire load of the cooler -- a fair amount of pressure needs to be applied from the cooler base to the processor ihs -- then transfers to point loads on the pcb. The monitor gets s... Read More
This is inexcusable. Msi no longer honoring recalls evidently. This cooler has a deserved ill reputation.
This means you are limited to where you should be mounting it.
Chances of cross threading the hole and ruining the mounting bracket with a sideways screw. That’s if you can even get the thing mounted correctly.
Highlights
Quality
Temps are cool, sound is quiet and perfect for mid range builds and small cases!

Price
In short, a very good aio for the price!
Couldn’t be happier with the performance boost to cost ratio.
If your are building a budget gaming pc i would not recommend i am going to use this cpu cooler on my 11700k when i get it.
My options were limited because i wanted a white aio and i didnt want to waste money on the more expensive one like from nzxt.
Packaging/appearance
It is already past the 30-day return window so i decided that i'm going to sell it (unopened/within original packaging) on ebay... Read More
I got a “like new” aio unit that had all of the screws open and loose in the package.
The box doesn’t say it works with am5 boards, but it does.
Competitiveness
Paired this with a amd 7700x so it is good for am5 sockets.
The price was comparable to the off-brand, only like $10 more.
I bought an msi pre-built with an amd ryzen-7 5800x at costco about a year ago and the cpu has been running around 90 degrees c... Read More
