Question 1

How does the RGB plug in? I know some AIOs come with like a commander for the fans/RGB. Does this come with a commander? I'm looking for something that doesn't use a commander.

Accepted Answer

No hub, just fan header plugs(3, directly to motherboard). also be aware V1 of this product has been recalled if you order and get a V1 get a RMA immediately.

Question 2

Can you control the ARGB with Aura SYNC, RGB Fusion, or PolyChrome RGB?

Accepted Answer

It can use MSI Mystic Light or Aura Sync.. note it's a pain to get Aura Sync to work, but it does work well once you follow all the directions (on youtube/forums)

Question 3

Will the R series 3 fan slots work with a 
MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX II AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard?
 First time building a PC and my knowledge isn't that expansive on all the components and compatibility. To anyone who answers this thank you very much, the help is greatly appreciated!

Accepted Answer

Yes, the R series 3 fan slots will work with an MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX II AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard. The cooler is compatible with AMD Socket AM4, which is supported by your motherboard.

Question 4

can it be mounted in the top of the case instead of the front? several videos i've found show that the pump is in the radiator and not on the cooler head.

Accepted Answer

If you case can fit it it will work.  note you need to make sure you set your thermals up right and turn the fans the right way for best performance

Question 5

Can you control the RGB from the MSI software Mystic?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 6

Would this be able to keep up with a i9-9900k at over 5ghz or would I have to go up to a K360?

Accepted Answer

The MSI MAG Series CORELIQUID 360R CPU cooler is praised for maintaining low CPU temperatures, which suggests it could potentially handle an i9-9900k overclocked to over 5GHz. However, the review summary also mentions issues with pump failure, which could impact long-term performance and reliability.

Question 7

can you use any fans with this block?

Accepted Answer

The cooler comes with triple 120mm ARGB PWM fans, but theoretically, any 120mm fans should be compatible with the radiator slots.
