Not Cool at all
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used NZXT products for years and this is not one of their best. First and foremost the LCD screen is an extreme downgrade over the previous generations. It no longer covers the entire pump but only a small portion in the middle and seems like a much lower quality LCD screen. The cooling of this unit is extremely subpar. I was extremely surprised with how warm my CPU stayed with this cooler. I removed it and re-thermal paste it twice just to make sure there was not an error on my side. As someone that builds between 25 and 50 systems in a year This is one of the worst water coolers that I have encountered.

Open box missing parts
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this open box “excellent” condition but it was missing parts for the mounting bracket. I had some nuts that fit to hold the pump on temporarily until i can get some that look better. Its a nice cooler but i wish i wish Best Buy would have been more honest about the condition, definitely didnt qualify as excellent.
