Cool, but loud...

This review is from: Enermax Liqtech 120X Aluminum All-in-One Liquid Cooler 43MM Thick Radiator w/ Duo 120mm Static Pressure Fan
Pros:
So, this is my first liquid cooler, and I'm really not disappointed. First of all, the installation was a lot less painful than I expected, but it did take a hefty amount of work, though I'd do it again to get the results I'm seeing now. My FX-8320, running with the stock cooler at 4.0 GHz was running at about 36 C on idle, and would get up to about 65 - 69 C on full load with Prime95. After installing this and letting the thermal paste set in, I'm reading temps of 23 C on idle and 51 - 53 on full load with Prime95!! I further overclocked my processor to 4.5 GHz, and at idle is running at 31 C on idle and 55 - 60 on full load! Wow, and that's with the fans at 100% speed. ( recommend installing speedfan, you won't regret it). Installation took about 30+ minutes, but I thankfully only had to take out the fan on the back of my case. The motherboard was able to stay put. Honestly, for the price, I would highly recommend this product.
Cons:
The fans are LOUD!!! Really, they are super loud on their highest speed setting at max speed, but, at least they work the way they are supposed to. I recommend getting different, quieter fans to put on here, you won't regret it.
Overall Review:
All in all, this is a great cooler and I can only recommend it.
