Easy Install!
I installed this on my Ryzen 7 2700x and it came with clips that you use with the preinstalled motherboard cooler mount! This was amazing because I didn't have to unscrew the backplate or do much work at all really. It looks great and works great. It has dropped my temps 15 to 20 degrees over the Wraith Prism Cooler. I highly recommend this AIO.
Very quiet, easy to install and works well.
So I bought this unit to compare it to really good air coolers. Not because I needed more cooling. It works really well. The pump is so quiet I can't even hear it with my ear right next to it. The fans are super quiet. The install was really simple and absolutely no problem whatsoever. The model number is not found on CoolerMaster's web site but I did some research and found out that this model was made specifically for Amazon. I am using it on an Intel i7 7700K CPU. The fans never go above the minimum speed (I think 25%) even when I am playing really graphically intensive games while also streaming to Twitch on the same PC. Highly recommend this product.
Amazing product for the price!
I would highly recommend this product for anyone on a budget. This has great performance that is comparable to much expensive liquid coolers. Specially considering it comes with AM4 brackets included in the box.
Only thing negative about this is the manual. There aren't any clear written instructions, only pictures. It gets difficult to follow the pictures as they are not labeled. Other than that it is worth getting. Let's hope it last in the long run (I have only had it for a few days).
*Disclaimer: The RGB fans that are shown in my picture are not the ones that come with this cooler. I replaced them with different RGB fans.*
great cpu cooler, but make sure to install it correctly
So I saw some negative reviews on this product saying it doesn’t cool anything, and so I thought they must have some problems installing this thing. Here’s a list of stuff you need to remember when installing it:
-PLEASE apply the included (or your own) THERMAL PASTE on your CPU (not the cooler’s copper plate)
-PLEASE TAKE THE PLASTIC FILM OFF!!!
-Plug the pump into the designated AIO pump on your motherboard
-(for am4 users) If you do not have the included brackets that came with your motherboard, this cooler won’t work
Here’s my review:
This cooler works well with my overclocked Ryzen 7 2700x @ 4.2Ghz. It maintains a steady 29-31C on idle, up to 48C on gaming, and 56C on stress tests. Note the 2700x base clock speed is 3.7Ghz. This is also with included fans at full speed and the pump at full speed. With Ryzen’s automatic overclock, my CPU hits 5Ghz occasionally and this cooler keeps it less than 60C at 1.5V max.
Because I have AM4, installation was easier, all I had to do was put the brackets into the slots on the side, screw them in, and then clip them onto the included motherboard brackets. Cable management was a pain so I just didn’t do it because the cables were too short for my management and barely reached, so I had to use an extender. This comes included with thermal paste (not the best IMO, I had to do an X to get good results, idled around 35C when using dot method) and an RGB cable splitter (1 to 3).
Edit:
As a contradictive person, I, myself, have installed this with the plastic still on. At the point when I checked the 9900k temps, I just went “it’s a hot CPU, whatever” then it reached 100C in regular gaming, then I went to reseat it, when I noticed it was slippery. So after removing the plastic film and reapplying the generous amount of thermal paste included, i dropped my temps down 30C and my 9900k & 5Ghz did not go over 80C in stress tests, and none over 75C in gaming. I still recommend this cooler due to its cost to performance to aesthetics ratios, though I personally would’ve preferred a circular water block.
Great Cooler. instructions need work
The Cooler itself is awesome. the RGB works well and has many settings / colors. I knocked off 1 start due to the instructions provided.
Pros:
-With youtube, installation was quick.
-No water or liquid needed, just plug and play.
-Comes with install accessories for AMD and Intel (intel of course)
Cons:
- of course, the installation guide needs work
- the mounting bracket that goes behind the Motherboard will not stay put without the cooler mounted. This was especially changeling trying to keep the back mount flush while at the same time trying to add pressure to the cooler to install the screws. For me, this required a 3rd hand.
Decent cooler for ryzen.
If you're getting this for a ryzen cpu, make sure you find your original am4 bracket mount. Luckily, I didn't throw mine out when I installed the stealth cooler ryzens come with. I monitor my cpu temps with core temp and with the air cooler I was getting 45-50c on idle/light loads and 60c+ on heavy loads. With this cooler installed im getting 35c on idle and 45-50c on moderate to heavy loads. The kit comes with a bunch of connectors and brackets for all kinds of cpus so keep the instruction set handy to see where everything goes. I'm giving 4 stars because it didn't come with the am4 mount.
