I bought the iCUE H170i ELITE to cool my Ryzen 9 5950X in a Corsair 5000D Airflow case.
Works well! Instructions were clear and I had a working system in minutes.
Mounting to the CPU was a bit fiddly, but that is more a flaw of the AM4 socket than it is this AIO.
Only downside is limited control of this device when using Linux. Even with OpenRGB an LiquidCTL installed, this product is difficult to configure.
Once I can fully modify the settings in linux, I'll upgrade to 5 stars.

More 140mm fans and lower temps from my i9-12900K. My system runs quietly and idles in the twenties.

Absolutely a beauty. I’ve had this thing for about a year and I’ve had zero complaints. It maintains temperatures on my i9-12900k without an issue. Highly recommend!

Excellent cooler, keeps my 5950x very cooler while gaming on ultra settings/1440p (varies but average 60C-63C). Be sure to buy high end thermal like Thermal Grizzly for high end CPUs. I would not recommend getting the LCD version as it has a firmware issue that hasn't been fixed yet. Buy this and then purchase upgrade kit once it's fixed (google it, you'll see). Extremely good cooler for $230.

This cooler does great for the R9 5950x. I had the H150i prior to this and there is a decent difference in performance although not all that amazing. Price point is justifiable and comes with a 3 year warranty through corsair so I can't complain with that.

I have been using the H150's for years now, and wow this is a major upgrade. I average 10-15C lower all around temps with this monster. I love the 140 fans, so much more quiet and pleasant to work with.

I am gearing up for am5 and I thought that a bigger cooler was the way to go along with my new case and this thing is going to preform wonders for me. the packaging came in undamaged and not abused. I cant wait to run this chunker.
