Question 1

Does this use a 4-pin or 5-pin fan connector?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't connect via the fan header. It connects to a proprietary led and fan controller and then SATA controller. It does connect to the CPU fan header only to "fake out" the system for a mandatory fan.

Question 2

Would this cool a Ryzen 5 3600 fairly decent? Or should I look else where?

Accepted Answer

I used it to cool an R5 2600. The 2 problems you will have is that RGB works best from the remote and the fans are don't get pwm from the motherboard (fans are powered by the splitter power only and plug into the motherboard so a CPU fan is detected). I used mine for a while but switched back to a coolermaster that looks pretty much the same but it is motherboard controlled for RGB and the fans.

Question 3

will the AEOLUS Box II be compatible with any other fans? Or, do they have to be GAMDIAS fans? Will any fan that can do ASRocks Polychrome Sync work with the AEOLUS Box II?

Accepted Answer

yeah the fans screw on but these fans look awesome I have even bought some for my case in general

Question 4

Since this is remote controlled, do the fans speed up automatically under certain temperatures or does it always have to be controlled manually with the remote?

Accepted Answer

If you set the bios to control the fans the fan speed will adjust automatically under certain temperatures

Question 5

How is the reliability? Anyone have it for more than a few months? Afraid of it leaking at the fittings!

Accepted Answer

Had it for over a year no issues.

Question 6

Will they replace hardware components damaged by leakage?

Accepted Answer

Hello Andrew,

If you are asking if the manufacturer for this cooler will cover liquid damage to other components in your system due to a leak, that is likely not the case.  The more likely scenario is that they will replace the entire unit if they find there was some kind of defect that led to the leak.

As for the components that were affected by the leak, you would need to reach out to the individual manufacturer for each component to see if their limited warranty covers liquid damage from liquid coolers that are not their own.  Each manufacturer has different policies so I would reach out to them directly to get a more direct answer, hope this helps!

Question 8

What type of power connector is used for the pump/radiator?

Accepted Answer

Pump is built into the cpu block and will fit into the cpu fan header.

Question 9

Is the radiator 280mm or 240mm?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

According to the specs, this would still be a 240mm radiator.
