Thermaltake Pacific MX2 Ultra CPU Waterblock, 2.1 inch LCS Disaplay, Build in Water Temperature Senser, LGA 1700, CL-W332-CU00SW-A,Black

To be clear, this review is for the Thermaltake Pacific MX2 Ultra CPU Waterblock, 2.1 inch LCS Disaplay, Build in Water Temperature Senser, LGA 1700, CL-W332-CU00SW-A. The majority of the negative reviews are for different ThermalTake products - Look at the pictures included with their reviews.I bought this for my Asus Prime Z590-A motherboard & Intel i9-11900k processor. Installation was relatively easy, programming the software was easy as well. This water-block works well to control the extreme heat generated by the i9-11900k Processor. The information displayed on the LCS display is helpful to quickly monitor critical stats for system performance. It also looks great in the PC. It is a little pricey, but it is well made of premium material and should last the life of the computer.

The media could not be loaded. This water block with the screen is a dream come true for my build. The only thing is the software could use text size and color updat for just text, other wise it's very good. So cool looking in any water cool loop.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought this for the screen - I would not do that again. Cooling:It works fine coolingFunctionality:Fine, other than screen glitches

This is a quality piece made with good materials and looks great in my water loop. Easy to install, especially with TT pacific 16mm OD fittings. The software on the other hand is terrible, the interface is terrible and it's very clunky. My biggest gripe is every time I try to load an image other than the default options on to the LCD display the program closes. I have tried using their recommended GIF's, following the 480x480 parameters for images, loading previous versions of software, deleting and re-installing, on and on. Still nothing. I am not a software wizard, this is all just a hobby and I play games. I just would like for it to work. So when it doesn't you get an average rating at best. I recently built my wifes computer also and used the new Corsair LCD upgrade for it's AIO, works like a dream. Do better Thermaltake.I have since determined working with TT service desk that I have a unit with a bad controller. My options are to breakdown my water loop, disassemble and remove water block and RMA or the even better option, I can pay again for another water block and they will credit my old one when I get it returned. Ask me what I am getting out of this deal? That's right, inconvenience, frustration, aggravation, etc. Thanks for nothing TT and it will be a while if ever before I work with you again. And lastly I appreciate you being sorry for the situation. That's helps a lot.AS

At least you don't need to buy new parts for the AM5.

Works like it should. Keeps my 14900 cool. Software is a little cheap. Works sometimes.

We’ll start out small, firstly I don’t know why TT likes to ruin all their designs with a big ugly connector that interferes with everything in it’s surroundings, but this hunk of junk has a big ugly micro usb 2 connector to power it. Second, either the thermistor/thermal probe is 3-7C off or their software is.The MOST IMPORTANT THING to know about this is how bad the thermal transfer is. This thing transfers heat so bad that my i9 was running idle at 70C in the middle of WINTER with all of my windows open (my ambient temperature was at or below 0C). I tried repairing it 3 times with 3 different pastes (kryonaut, mx-6, and hydronaut) with no change. I ended up replacing this piece of junk with an EK Quantum Velocity 2 and saw over a 30C TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE…30C…You’re better off not even putting a heat sync on your cpu than using this waterblock. Now I’m stuck with $200 piece of junk.Side note, it uses a cheap piece of plastic for aligning it, with cheap plastic nuts. If you’re buying this because of the display, just don’t…buy a little display for $40-$150 instead.
