Pros: Performs exactly as expected. Very cold when properly water cooled. I used the EK-Water Blocks Supremacy 360 HFX kit and ran a benchmark program called FurMark for a while and it maxed out at a comfortable 46°C.
Cons: Makes a constant distinguishable whining/buzzing sound that is louder than any of my fans while active. This tends to be quieter while running at a higher resolution for some reason. It's annoying since there's no moving parts (to my knowledge) but tolerable since I have music to mask it. I've read from other responses by the manufacture that it's nothing to worry about and occurs in some of their products, so I'm not worried, just slightly annoyed that it's the only real noise coming form my tower.
Overall Review: Would recommend to anyone.
