Pros: Easy installation.
Extremely quiet.
Keeps my CPU cool. (30c normally).
Comes with thermal paste already applied.

Cons: Not really a con, but the small fan above the tubes seems to be placed in a strange position. I can't say it's a negative because it's whisper quiet and it's working great.

Other Thoughts: Was initially skeptical (not many reviews and never heard of the brand), but I'm super happy. Great packaging, great product. 10/10 would recommend.

Pros: I had a Noctua Nh-d14 before getting this cooler, and I am able to get better performance while being quieter than my old cooler at the same time.

Be sure to set a custom fan curve in bios or else you will be stuck with the cooler running full blast 24/7

The Small fan included is surprisingly quiet, although still a BIT louder than the rest of the fans (something that can likely be changed in bios, something I will look into)

Cons: Installation in my s340 case was an absolute nightmare, and I had to make some modifications to make it fit properly (good bye front panel Usb!) although this is mostly NZXT's problem so I am not going to count against Cryorig here.

Other Thoughts: Although I would ask for quieter fans, I feel like those fans would make the cooler quieter although with the right settings it is already quiet anyway.

I personally would recommend this product, especially at this unit's current cost compared to it's competitors

Pros: -Great performance, keeps my 5820K (1.184v, 4.2Ghz) @ 66C during Aida64 FPU stress test. This is with 2x Noctua NF-A14's @ 700 RPM. A NH-D15 & Cryorig R1 both bounced around 72C during the same test with fans around 1000RPM.

-Simple and easy install, includes the regular Cryorig backplate that's used on all their coolers. For X99 it's literally 4 nuts and 4 thumb screws on top and you're done.

Cons: -Pump is obnoxiously loud. It whines/rattles and is by far the loudest thing in my PC.

-Chattering annoying fan on top of the pump. Why does this need to spin at 1500RPM idling? At max speed (3000RPM), it's unbearable. Your motherboard VRM area doesn't require Star extinguishing cooling potential.

-Removing the fan on the pump to ditch the noise leaves you with a disgusting looking bare pump top.

-Included 140mm fans that they advertise as HLPN Bearings are just fancy sleeve bearings, if you mount this horizontally expect noise. The included fans tick and make bad motor noise in this orientation. Worse yet they only go down to 600RPM and are far too loud without a custom fan profile to keep them below 1000RPM.

Other Thoughts: Here is the main issue, you cannot control the pump nor the fan on top of the pump individually.

The Pump has 3 cables coming out of it.

-PWM fan cable with the 12v wire removed
-2 way PWM splitter for the 2 included fans
-Sata cable to power the pump and fans attached to the splitter.

Essentially the speeds of the Pump and Fan on top of the Pump are dictated by whatever PWM fan you connect to the first plug of the PWM fan splitter (the one that actually has 4 pins). Everything ramps up or down with whatever fan is connected there based on your motherboards fan control or Asus AI Suite for example. The PWM fan plug with only 3 wires that comes out of the pump only exists to report PWM duty to your motherboard and the pumps firmware adjusts everything else based on your fan profile. So when plugged in the only RPM reading you get is of the fan plugged into the 4 pin PWM fan splitter.

This means I have no control of the Pump RPM, which is way too loud even when I set my fans to 10% but it also means the fan on top of the CPU is always going ham even when idling.

This is a acceptable setup for those who like plug and play, but based on the reputation Cryorig has built with their air coolers I expected more control and silence. Competing AIO's use software (CAM or Corsair LINK) to avoid the above issues, as garbage as those pieces of software are, at least they allow you to set your desired setting and then never reopen again as it's saved to the pumps firmware.
