Pros: Why would anyone watercool unless you are going for high overclocks or have a tiny case when you have this as an option. Cools my stock i7-3930K in the 25 C idle - 37C loaded range while gaming. Probably could cool an old VW Beetle...

Cons: Need a big case (Corsair Graphite has tons of extra room - maybe 2 - 3 inches of clearance on side panel) and low profile memory (Vengeance LP fits fine underneath). Just do your homework and everything fits with no problems. You want air? This is it. Should have gotten the blue to match my motherboard and memory, but hey - I'm a guy - didn't think of that until I was installing it.

Pros: It works. It is compact.

Cons: I originally purchased it so I could use it to adapt a USB 3.0 A-type 512 gb thumbdrive to a type-C male so I could plug it into my phone to copy, backup and offload a ton of pictures, videos and documents while traveling and filling up the phone storage. The problem is the casing of the adapter is too wide in the front so it could not plug into the phone due to the port being recessed in the phone. If they tapered the casing it would have worked. I ended up having to buy a short USB-C extension cable to make it be able plug into the phone. For non-recessed plugs, this would have worked fine, just not for my situation.

Overall Review: Works fine if the place you want to plug it into is not recessed.
