Pros: Great cooler - quiet - love the on-pod display.
Cons: If you are thinking of this for an LGA1700, be forewarned you may be waiting a while. I bought one under the assumption that "Contact NZXT for an LGA1700 bracket" would result in me getting a bracket. It took 3 back-and-forth emails (providing proof of motherboard and NZXT Z73 cooler), and I thought they would send me one. Instead, I got this:
"Thank you for submitting your request for an LGA 1700 bracket. Unfortunately, we do not currently have the brackets in stock. You have been placed on a waiting list and we will be shipping the brackets in the order the requests were received. Once your
bracket is ready to be shipped you will be notified with a tracking link. We appreciate your patience."
There's no ETA on it. It could be a week or months at this point. So I'm forced to buy another cooler (likely a Noctua) while I wait. Be forewarned!
Overall Review: Love the product, hate the open ended wait for an LGA1700 bracket, rendering it useless until then.
Amazing ! Will not let you down.12/1/2020 8:51:43 PM
Pros: works perfect with my NZXT H710i, Cam software is perfect.
I have a I7 10700K running @ 5.1 ghz. At idle it runs about 31-32c full load running Cinebench temp is 52c. I can also run at 5.2 ghz with 100% load temps never getting over 55c.
I use to have Cool Master Hyper 212 rgb black, don't get me wrong it was good, but not NZXT X63 GOOD.
PS, Forgot to Mention these temps are while the CAM software is running on silent mode so all the fans are running @ low RPMs.
Overall Review: I love it, I would recommend it over an air cooler.

Great Temperatures and Amazing RGB4/8/2021 12:52:50 PM
Pros: Keeps CPU Temperatures Low, Straight-forward installation process, Amazing RGB lighting, Easy control software
Cons: Doesnt sync with motherboard
Overall Review: Overall I highly recommend this aio. Not only does this aio keep your CPU temperatures down, the RGB that comes with it helps take your custom lighting to another level. It was very easy for me to install this aio and it even comes with pre-applied thermal paste. The only down side to this aio is that you cant sync it with your motherboards rgb controller. However, the NZXT Cam software that you can download allows you to customize the rgb on the screen so it makes up for it.

Great cooling, nice bling!6/22/2021 8:19:31 AM
Pros: - Much better cooling than stock/mid range Air coolers.
- The LCD screen is really great and customizable.
- Tubes are high quality.
Cons: - Make sure to read the full instruction manual before mounting. Software doesn't allow you to fine tune screen positioning, it only lets you do it in 90 degree increments. Make sure the tubes are facing a 3-o-clock or 6-o-clock direction to make sure your screen will be oriented correctly.
Overall Review: Great product, would recommend.

Visually appealing and superb cooling8/10/2020 6:54:14 AM
Pros: Needless to be said this is a great visual piece to add to your build. Fortunately, it also excels it’s job. Was in the process of upgrading my pc and I still had the stock cooler on my cpu (it was a prebuilt). Was getting idle temps up to 50 Celsius and under load was getting into the 90’s. I have yet to see it go over 60 under load now which is an ideal temp
Cons: Not too many here. Just make sure you have atleast two fan plugs on your mobo available or a hub that will fit the fans cables. Be careful not to touch the thermal paste on the cooling block as it comes pre applied and you don’t wanna be rubbing it off during installation
Overall Review: Product does exactly what it’s marketed as and looks great installed. Will definitely recommend this to anyone looking to cool their cpu. In terms of sound I have my settings set to the “silent” profile in the NZXT software and I think it’s a good meeting point in terms of sound/performance. You can’t hear it all that much and you still get good cooling. (This might be subjective to any individual)
Easy install (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AM4 SOCKET)11/4/2021 1:19:06 AM
Pros: This thing looks great inside of any white case. IMO I think the white makes everything look sleek, which I why I was excited to get my hands on this white edition.
Works great and is super easy to install. NZXT has a how to install video on YouTube I would highly recommend. Explains where to plug in each cord and what they do. The pump fan connector connects to the cpu fan header on your MOBO. Some people are confused about that but NZXT states to plug i into the cpu fan connector so just do that . Everything else is pretty simple.
Cons: Unfortunately my motherboard did not come with the stock AMD am4 socket which is needed for this AIO water cooler . I had a cooler master radiator fan cpu cooler purchased with the motherboard so they gave me that backplate instead of the am4 one . Im not sure why they didnt include the am4 but I didnt know it was needed until I bought this . And weirdly enough they do not include one in the x63 setup . They include an intel backplate but not the am4 so that was annoying . But theyre only like 7 bucks so it was an easy fix just annoying to have to wait.
Overall Review: I would recommend this to others any day of the week . I think it looks great aesthetically co
Pared to any other cooler on the market . Even thought the x series only comes with the infinity mirror and not the lcd screen , it looks awesome and can be controlled through their CAM software along with any rgb fans and other NZXT accessories.
Pros: Really quiet fans then comes with led face that you can change colors with the fans as well. Very easy to install and monitoring your temperatures on there free software can!!
Cons: Just wish they would make all Version that you can put anything on your led but you have to pay way more for that.
Pros: Great cooler - quiet - love the on-pod display.
Cons: If you are thinking of this for an LGA1700, be forewarned you may be waiting a while. I bought one under the assumption that "Contact NZXT for an LGA1700 bracket" would result in me getting a bracket.
