Highlights
Quality
Works great, easy to install, awesome rgb.
The cooler itself is high quality and the default gifs are not bad.
The customizable lcd screen is neat, but started malfunctioning a couple weeks later.
It's a good idea to unlock your cpu and then carefully remove the mounting screws for the heatsink pulling out your processor w... Read More
Price
All in all a good pump for the price.
For the money, performance, value and no animated gifs like they advertise with it deserves to be only 4 stars.
Seems prices have come down a lot, i bought for like $110.
For 84 dollars or whatever it's a good value for sure.
Packaging/appearance
The box came smashed but didn't damage anything.
Competitiveness
This msi cooler is one of the cheaper ones of the groups and so far seems to cool as well as the others on my 10900k.
So, in most cases 280 aio is the best value size to be at.
A lot of people are saying that for the money better alternatives are out there including other aio lcd's that can do animated gifs.
The marketing material and animations are very misleading as only msi branded animations are allowed.

This review is for msi mag series coreliquid 280r argb cpu liquid cooler aio

The majority of aio coolers are all based on the same functional design due to a patent of having the pump in the cpu block so most of them perform closely to each other
