Pros: - Keeps your CPU nice and cool - Much quieter than your typical air coolers - Provides great temperatures under load

Cons: - Instructions are somewhat hard to follow, but no sweat if you're used to figuring out how things come apart and go back together - The motherboard mounting bracket is somewhat problematic for an 1155 socket

Overall Review: PROS I've got an i5 3570k and an R9 290x, and under load during sessions with my Oculus Rift my CPU would creep up to ~88C, and my GPU not very far behind it. I had good airflow in my case, too. Decided to go with this cooler, and it's perfect. CONS The instructions took me a little while to figure out, but it wasn't bad. I'm used to figuring out how things work (i take phones apart all the time at my job), so with a little trial and error I figured it out. However, if you get this for an 1155 socket, be warned. The backplate will mount to your motherboard, but it won't exactly look...how should I say...right? It's not a problem but it really made me worried the first time I put the mounting bracket on and saw that it was lopsided. I supposed it's like that to accommodate both 1155 and 1156 in the same part, but some warning beforehand would have been nice. It made me think I had it set up wrong until I saw the retention ring was sitting perfectly fine. This is a good product, even with some of its flaws. Definitely worth a purchase if you're interested in a liquid cooling solution but don't want to break your wallet with a full-blown water cooling kit.
