Pros: Surprisingly quiet for being maxed out

Cons: Maybe a little loud for those wanting 0 noise

Overall Review: So I wanted an air cooler for my i9 10900K CPU. The reasons I didn't want to go liquid are due to problems I have had with past liquid AIOs. I've had motherboards destroyed by bad AIOs, and shockingly Corsairs is been one of the worst brands to deal with. So I decided a while ago to run with an air cooler for my new build. And, with my i9 10900K overclocked, and this cooler maxed out, running the most CPU demanding game I have (Star Citizen Alpha 3.9) with Chrome, Outlook, Excel, and other programs running in the background, the CPU peaked at 52c. In my opinion that is incredible for an air cooler operating on one of the newest chipsets that is overclocked.

Pros: -Likely works fine -Inexpensive

Cons: -Shipping hasn't moved for weeks

Overall Review: The order was placed over a week ago, and the shipping hasn't updated once since then. No signs of it moving from where it currently is in 7 days. Will be issuing a refund as soon as it gets here. Find a better shipping partner.

Pros: - I mean, its fast! - Its really fast! - Like it worries me a bit at how fast this thing is

Cons: - None

Overall Review: Downloaded Star Citizen in no time.

Pros: -Offers all the options -Crazy fast RAM easily supported -Bios is a breeze to work in -Mapped out RBG is stunningly pretty

Cons: -Stupid Physical RGB switch on the board -Insanely dumb fan header placements -No 6-pin connector included for full USB-C power support (I checked the store page, they said this is included. That's either a lie or wasn't included in mine)

Overall Review: What idiot thought it was a good idea to make a physical RGB switch on the board and not at least try to clearly mark it? Also, who was the genius that said "hey lets put all the fan/pump controllers on the far left-hand side of the board, as far from the CPU as possible?" I also couldn't get my pump to work without plugging in the 3-pin Water Flow connector, which was all the way on the other side of the board and nowhere near my pump.

Pros: It does look good, and cools my i9-13900k "well enough."

Cons: Why did I spend $300+ on a cooler that does moderately a good job at cooling my CPU? Why did I spend $300+ on a cooler that doesn't have a user manual in the box? Why did I spend $300+ on a cooler that doesn't have clearly marked LGA1700 on all required hardware?

Overall Review: Just to provide more details. The back plate and some screws did come in a clearly marked package for my LGA 1700 chipset. However, the mounting plate for the pump, nor the screws used to mount the pump to the backplate was labeled, so I had to research to confirm I was using the correct hardware and bracket. Which is frustrating as a consumer. I also had some issue mounting this cooler in my case. Though that is not the fault of the cooler, it simply added to the frustration. I do not recommend bottom mounting a closed loop liquid cooler, yet that is what I had to do. In fairness it is cooling effectively enough, reaching 82'C underload in Star Citizen.

Pros: Long enough to put your computer basically anywhere out of the way.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I wanted my number computer out of the way of my desk/work area, and this worked perfectly for this project!

For the price, it was perfect. I needed something to cover the tile floor under my desk in my office, this worked perfectly.

I am impressed!
