I've installed many AIO's over the years and by far this has been the smoothest and best performing of the lot. Its super easy to line up and install the standoffs, unlike some competitors which almost become a two person job to do. But this went very smooth and has kept my Ryzen 7 5700x at around 30 degrees idle or under, which is very impressive.

Works extremely well and I enjoy the graphic showing me the temperature and what’s going on with my CPU
-Cools my CPU well.-NZXT allows you to drop the pump speed to as low as 800 RPM, but I find around 1k RPM to be quiet enough.-6 years warranty.
The decent liquid cooler in the market, runs wells with no problems!
