Amazing cooler if you have the room in your PC case. I installed on R9 5900x and keeps it under load at 60s Celsius. Would recommend if you are a temp freak and want to keep your PC cool.

One of the best available AIO on the market. If you really want your CPU to reach its potential you need good cooling system. H170i can handle any consumer CPU available to date

12th Gen Intel beware

I've had it for 2 weeks and I can't install it. Why? Because the screws for the 12th gen intel 1700 sockets have to be ordered separately. I ordered them from Corsair over a week ago, it was $6, not 2 or 3 like they've been stating in the comments, and the order is still in 'processing'. I would believe that a cooler for a processor that has been out for 6 months now, the screws would either be in the box, or easily available for shipping, but apparently that is not the case.

Initially I thought 420 would beat h150. But it’s not really beating it. Stress test the cpu and air temp whiny to 36. And took a while for aio temp to go down. Which seems weird. My other h115i seems to be better. Which was really weird

Bad Luck

The screw holes on the radiator and the fans do not line up. My bad luck. That's why I give it a 1 star. Bad Quality Control. I have seen videos on this product and those builders didn't have to deal with this. I created an RMA request yesterday with Corsair since I am past my Best Buy return date. No word from Corsair as of this time. So, my PC build has come to a standstill. I will say that I would buy this product again - but I would make sure the screw holes lined up before I left the store so I would not have to go through this again.

This thing is a monster, keeps my 5900x below 70c. There are many cheaper options that work just as well. A high end air cooler would have worked just fine.
