It keeps my overclocked CPU nice and cool
I have a 7700K and have been using a Hyper 212 Evo for the last 2 years. My CPU and GPU always ran at no more than 67C while gaming. Over the past few months my CPU started getting as high as 80C. I decided to delid and add this cooler. I am currently overclocked at 5.0Ghz at 1.330 volts and my idle temps are around 28 to 30C and my highest spikes while gaming are at 68C.The product seems to be good quality. It was pretty easy to install. I have a Corsair 780T case so I was able to mount the fans directly under the mesh cover at the top of the case. I mounted the radiator under the metal frame below the fans. I was able to use the supplied screws to go through the fans, through the metal frame and into the radiator. The fans are in a pull/exhaust configuration out the top of the case.The instruction sheet is terrible. The one I received looked nothing like the instructions I pulled up online. One side was for Intel and the other side was for AMD. According to the picture it told me I should be using the backplate that was more of an oblong shape. It did not match up to the water block at all, not even close. I emailed Thermaltake asking about this. To this day they have not even bothered to respond to my inquiry! I disregarded their inadequate instructions and went off a youtube video instead. I should deduct a star for this but the cooler works really well so I won't.This does not have any RGB lighting at all. I looked at the other models that have lighting but they all require plugging in a cable to a USB port on the motherboard. I don't have an extra one so when I saw this model of cooler I liked that it was straightforward with just the plugs for the fans and the pump.I have read many ways to make these connections for proper operation. I ended up plugging in the fans (with the included 3 way splitter) to the CPU fan header. I plugged in the pump to the AIO pump header. The AIO pump header will supply full power to the pump so it runs at maximum speed all the time. Apparently monitoring software will only report half the actual pump rpm so you have to multiply by 2. Mine reads around 1750 which means I am getting 3500 rpm which is within the rated speed. I am controlling the fan speeds through BIOS and set a custom curve. The fans run at a minimum of 40% and ramp up to 100% at 75C. They never spin much higher than the 40% while gaming and I am surprised this works so well with the fans at such a low speed. I did turn them up to around 75% speed to see how loud they would be and they are very loud. If you need to run the fans at a high rpm to keep your system cool you might not like the amount of fan noise.The hose were long enough to reach the top of my case with room to spare. I do worry about springing a leak which would destroy my 1080ti but that is a risk everyone takes when using water cooling. The pump is silent. I can't hear it at all. I can feel a vibration when I touch the hoses. You can definitely feel the heat being exhausted through the top of the case. I also noticed my GPU runs a little bit cooler since the heat from the CPU is now being exhausted out of the case instead of the Hyper 212 Evo blowing hot air around inside the case.I did notice the fan cfm rating is in the 90's. Other coolers from different manufacturer's rated the cfm at less than 50.Overall if you are ok with no RGB lighting and have the room for a 360mm radiator this is a good choice. It got excellent reviews from the few you can find online.

Quiet and cool
Very quiet and excellent OC cooler. I fit this in a Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 on an Intel i7-4790K LGA1150 with four 8GB sticks or Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM and Corsair Vengeance Airflow Memory Cooling Fan on an ASUS Z97-A mobo. The memory cooling fan was a tight fit but it did fit. Ran the ASUS AI one click optimizer and the 4790 overclocked to 4900MHz. Limiting factor was memory not CPU cooling. Very quiet rig, I can hear my cat licking herself as I type this but not the rig. I choose this Thermaltake expressly because of its low noise compared to the rest.In the Nanoxia it can be fit towards the right side of the case or the left, I had to slide it the left but it fits fin and bolted up fine. The top cover of the Nanoxia can be removed after it is raised by gently bending in the tabs while lifting on one side.It took me a second try to get the cooler installed properly on the CPU so I wiped off the thermal compound and used Noctua NT-H1 compound. The trick I found was to place the retaining ring on the board then start the screws then place the cooler on the CPU and rotate the cooler a couple degrees so the fingers of the retaining ring sits in the cooler slots then tighten all the screws. I tried to do it all at once the first time and that didn't work so good.The Z97-A has both a CPU fan and CPU auxiliary connectors so the fans were plugged into the fan connector using the included Y cable and the pump was connected to the auxiliary. Works like a champ I am very pleased. Highly recommended.

Noisy and Poor instructions
Update 9/1 240 mm 3.0 with ARGBThe pump is noisy. It rattles like a piece of paper caught in a fan. The fans however work well. Yes, I've tried tipping the PC around to try to get any air bubbles out. The rattling only happens when the tower is upright. If I lie it down the pump rattling goes away.I really can't tell you all how disappointed I have been with AIO coolers and LED fans. If you can stay away from LED fans and stick to Noctua products you'll never have any issues. As soon as you get into combination fan/led setups everything gets wooly.Original, 120mm 3.0:-----------------------------First, it was really hard to find out if this unit supports FM2 sockets as needed for my A10 CPU. It does.Replacing the stock A10 the fan is significantly louder. More of a whine than a buzz, but not an improvement. I may need to find out how to adjust the speed in the BIOS. Fortunately I can't hear the pump at all. I only hear the fan.The instructions were poor. Graphics to select the proper CPU mounting frame, the plastic inserts and the CPU block screws were not very clear or intuitive. Next, there are 2 power connectors, and an extender. Instructions for these are poor as well. The CPU block has a 3 pin pigtail that is not even shown in the instructions. It is not even clear if the extender is needed or not.Lastly, the default configuration is sub-optimal. You want the fan to blow air ONTO the radiator, and you want that air to exit the case immediately. There's no way to do this. You either suck air into the case and then on the blower, or you extract air from the case.This sounds like the same thing, but it makes a little difference. If you suck from the radiator, the air at the fins will be low pressure, and therefore not convey as much heat off them as if you blow air ONTO the radiator. In the latter case the air is at high pressure, and can pull more heat off the fins. I took the lesser of two evils. Under no circumstances do you want to blow heat from the CPU into the case. That's just counter-productive, and raises the internal temperature which you then have to exhaust some other way.

El producto ni siquiera es el mostrado en la descripción y en las imágenes
Había pedido este producto por su buen precio y características, sin embargo el día que me llegó resultó ser un producto de otro modelo y otras características lo cual no me funciona debido al tamaño de mi gabinete y porque la potencia es menor, definitivamente una estafa por parte de la tienda

LED failed after 4 months.
LED fauled after 4 months of use. Great when it works.

Nice AIO
Install was hard. Fans that came with it are thermaltakes cheaper model. I did a push pull method by putting 3-140mm on top of it as well. Overall I would recommend this.

Muy bien
Si hace un poco de ruido, pero esta excelente, yo lo uso con el kraken g12 para una grafica
