I was debating this cooler for my upgrade for a long time. Having upgraded my Cpu to a Ryzen 7 5800x I clearly needed an upgrade on my noisy 6 year old cooler master 240ml to have sufficient cooling.Now this is expensive mostly because of the 60fps bright LCD screen on the pump. I almost convinced myself out of it thinking I couldn't justify over double the price of a lot of coolers for what a lot would see as a "gimmick". But when you see it in person it gives the most beautiful aesthetic. So for people in the same boat it is absolutely worth the extra money if you want a stunning and customisable aesthetic to your build.Now this was actually relatively simple to install and they are plenty of videos on youtube if you do get stuck. But it's honestly not that hard (especially if you order the non RGB one like me). and it's also good that you can rotate the screen in the software after installation so you don't have to worry about mounting it the "correct" way or angle for the screen to be displayed right.The unit is extremely quiet! to the point at first I didn't know if it was powered correctly when I first turned it on. Even under load it isn't very loud. Cooling performance is also very good, especially since my cpu is notorious for been a hot one in the Ryzen line of cpu's with temps between 40-55 when just browsing the internet and 55-70 degrees when playing graphically intensive games on ultra settings which is really impressive.overall you are certainly getting your moneys worth with this cooler. Quiet, cool temperatures and aesthetically stunning with the large high quality 60fps LCD screen. Software to change the images/Gif's/readings is easy to use too.This review is specifically for the 280ml non RGB Elite version of this cooler.

The media could not be loaded. I’m blown away by the quality of this aio. The quality of the picture is even better than it looks in the video, it’s truly stunning. It was super easy to install and is silent. It’s a shame the white version doesn’t have white wires coming from the top but it’s a small issue. The software works perfectly and gives quite a lot of options for the fans as well, but I didn’t bother much as mine are on the top and so not really seen. I’ve been running Baldurs Gate 3 at 4K all max settings and the CPU hasn’t gone above 50C so cooling is top notch. Really cool piece of kit and the favourite thing in my build.PC specs:Mobo: ASUS ROG STRIX B760-A Gaming wifiGPU: Gigabyte NVIDIA Aero RTX 4070AIO: NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 360CPU: Intel i5 13600KFRAM: Corsair 32GB DDR5 RGBFans: Lian Li S120 infinity x6Strimer: Lian Li 24pin rgb strimer

Very easy to install and I did wonder if there was a benefit from changing the paste on the heatsink but maybe not.Only gripes I have are that the pipes sit directly over the vent on my 5090, I mean I could change the orientation but then it would impede the exhaust fan.Cooling is 4 stars because there’s better but if you’re invested into the nzxt ecosystem then this is what you want.The screen is fun and uploading gifs has been a blast, trying to sync between this and the screen on my Aorus master. Yeah it’s fluff but cool.I’m using this with a 9800x3d and I do the +200 pbo with a -30 curve and it takes it in everything. Temp goes to 87 max.
