Question 1

Does it come with thermal paste already on it?

Accepted Answer

yes it has a ridiculous layer of thermal paste that has a safety guard so you cant accidently touch it till you take it off

Question 2

i have a question I seem to be having trouble finding the answer to on the deepcool the pump has a 3 pin connector i want to use it with a asus z270e motherboard but it looks like the pump needs a 3 pin connector and the motherboard only has 4pin connectors is there an adpator or some way other then the micro usb conector?

Accepted Answer

The 4pin connector on your motherboard will work without needing any adapters, the 3pin plug on the deepcool's pump has guides on it so it will only be able to plug into your board one way.
I have my deepcool pump plugged into the 4pin cpu fan 1 slot and the radiator fans connected to a fan hub "thats included in the box" thats plugged into cpu fan 2 and all is well :D

Question 3

Can the l.e.d. on the block be turned off?

Accepted Answer

No I cannot turn off the pulsing light. There maybe a software program you can download from Deepcool, or another company, however I do not know of any at this time. I will say I love the cooler, I use CAM software for monitoring my computer and even when gaming my CPU never gets over 30 degrees C. Normal operation it is usually 17-21 degrees C.

Question 4

can the hoses be changed?

Accepted Answer

No. The fittings at the end of each hose is smooth, with some type of bearing in them allowing you to turn the hoses in almost any direction.

Question 5

How long is the tubing on this AIO?

Accepted Answer

It's long enough to mount in most cases; however mounting on front intake may be a problem in larger cases.

Question 6

Just have a question on the fluid line lengths. I have had issues with other brands loop hoses being to short to mount anywhere other than on top of a case but I want this cooler to install to the front of my NZXT H500 case from a Full ATX board. Has anyone installed this AIO to the same case in front (Knowing it's a popular case) or know how long the loop hoses are? Thanks

Accepted Answer

So far, at this point, I have had No Trouble with the Liquid Line Lengths, Of this nor any Liquid Cooling product that I have used.
The only Wild Card that you will encounter will be when you go External with your Radiator set up.  Good Luck.

Question 7

Most AIO kits (NZXT, Corsair) have software you have to use to configure it. I don't want software. I want to set it up in BIOS and be done. Can this be 100% controlled with BIOS?

Accepted Answer

I have this going on 2 years now and have had zero issues. It is connected to the fan header on an asrock motherboard and i can either use the bios or asrock  a-tuning software to control fan curves.  Pump speed if fixed as far as i know but ive never had a problem.  This is sitting on an Intel 6800K

Question 8

I'm intersted in swaping the 120mm fans with green led fans but I dont see anything close to the speed and cfm of the fans provided could you recommend a green leed fan to replace the fans that come with the unit?

Accepted Answer

You can use any 120mm fan with this unit, of the cfm or speed doesn't match up it's ok, just make sure in your bios you have fan settings to where you think you'll need them to keep your PC cool

Question 9

does it support intel 8700k?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this does work on an 8700K, I just used this same cooler with an 8700K for a client.

Thank god Intel kept the LGA1151 socket!

Question 10

Will this fit in a BitFenix Prodigy case? (Not the M version, the standard version) And what location would I mount it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will, and there will be plenty of room to spare.  The pump's height is less than half of the allotted 180 mm clearance for the case in question.
