Does a great job, just a pain to put in.
Got this for a Ryzen build on X570 MB. Installed in a CM MB TD500 Mesh (White). First thing you will notice is the heft and a lot of it. Can be a bit difficult to install with all the fan cords and rgb cords and the hoses are not the most flexible in the world. I Installed this at the top of my case with the hoses at the rear of it. This will, at least it did for me, mean that a rear fan is not going to fit. At least not a CM MF120 (same as the ones that come with this rad). The top closest to the rad just would not allow one.I found a few videos online to help with the RGB install that helped quite a bit. I like the magnet controller, just wish the mag was a bit more powerful. It looks great once all set up and runs quiet even right next to me on my desk. May swap out the fans for new ones as the included ones do not light up the case very much as others have noted. They are rubberized at the four points which is nice though. The pump "cap" can come off and you can align it with your build once installed or customize your own.My only critiques would be to lengthen the hose a little bit more or make them more flexible. Thin the radiator down a tiny bit as it is a monster. Perhaps some brighter color fans or a couple other pump "caps" to come with it. Overall though it performs great for cooling my R5 3600X.

Yeah, but does it RGB??
TLDR: Yes. Yes it freakin does.Let's face it, you don't need this to cool your pc. LTT proved objectively that air cooling is just as good if not better than AIO water cooling at keeping temps down. Air cooling is cheaper, too, with the top performing options being in the $50-60 range. Air is more reliable due to having fewer moving parts and not relying on electricity's worst enemy... H2O...You're here for the RGBs and you're here for the sleek and clean looks. And for those, you've come to the right place. Sure it's got 10+ wires coming out of it that need to be managed, but those LEDs are LIT, bro! The leds are bright and vibrant and the CM software, though just as clunky as every other ARGB solution out there, is competent enough to achieve some great lighting effects. The included controller will allow you to use software to control 4 channels of ARGB stuff via software, even if your motherboard does not have any RGB headers or if you do have RGB headers on your motherboard, it comes with all the necessary wiring to connect it. Mine is over 5 years old and only has two fan headers... splitters are your best friend in this situation. Got more than 4 things to light? Daisy chain them sons o' guns. This thang runs on SATA power (lightning and thunder noises)!In all seriousness, this is actually a very effective cooler, keeping my ancient core i5 below 60deg even under continuous load. Your results may vary, but like I said, if you want results, stick to air. This thing fills that 360mm space with glorious RGB goodness and keeps you cool and relatively quiet. Seriously pleased with the look and more than satisfied by the performance.

Quality 360mm AIO
So, what can I say? This AIO is great! The fans on the AIO are a bit loud at full-speed, but at 50% or lower are completely unnoticeable (at least with the level of background noise in my room). I have provided a picture of the temperatures of an overclocked i9-9900k at idle after (please note that the max temperatures shown in the image reflect the highest temperatures seen running benchmark tests on a few games like Far Cry 5). As anyone should tell you, pictures of core temperatures alone are useless without information about ambient temperature. I am using a Rosewill Spectra C100 case with great airflow inside of a room with ambient temperatures of 67F. This means that, at the 4GHz clock shown, the AIO has almost successfully cooled the CPU to surrounding air temperature at low loads. For gaming, I rarely feel the need to push the CPU beyond 4GHz as I game at 4k and receive little benefit from higher clockspeeds (GPU bottleneck with an RTX 2080 Ti). For professional work outside of gaming, I do push clock speeds to 5 GHz on all cores, particularly when I'm doing rendering work. In these professional workloads, I have never seen the temperature exceed the low-mid 80's on any core - perfectly acceptable for such a powerful overclock and high loads, multi-core loads. In terms of gaming, I rarely see my temperatures exceed the mid 50's.Now, for the bad - the setup! I'm an electrical engineer and it took me some amount of time to decipher the included instructions and figure out how to set up the RGB controller correctly (this thing includes an absurd number of wires - be ready to manage them). Once this was done, though, it does appear that the system does an okay job at interacting with MSI Mystic Light, and the pre-programmed RGB patterns are fine. If you're looking for something more flashy, there are definitely good alternatives as the RGB lighting on this system is quite conservative (not a bad thing IMO).
