Somewhat satisfied
At first I was disappointed. Not compatible with Corsair Link, there is no temperature sensor on the pump, and you can't change the colour of the pump light (white). But, after a few adjustments I quickly realized that it did the job well and in the end, it ran better than my old h110i model at the time. The only thing to do is to configure the fans according to the processor temperature, leaving a good margin of reaction of the fans, so as not to hear the yoyo effect of the fans due to an unstable temperature of some procos.
Quiet and practical
Have the cooler installed in two systems and now years in use. So far without problems with good cooling performance and quiet fans. Saves space in the case, because you can do without the large and heavy CPU cooler.
No typical water cooling problems as it is a closed system.Pro
- Complete system
- easy to install
- reliable for years
- beginner friendly
Enough for slightly overclocked Ryzen 9 3900XT.
Running an ITX board with a Ryzen 9 3900XT overclocked to 12*4.2 GHz in a super compact case (Cooler Master NR200P). Replaced the two included Corsair fans with two 120 mm fans from Noctua (NH-U12A, up to 2050 rpm); quieter and 25% more airflow. Mounted the radiator to the auxiliary rail behind the left side panel, with fans inside. Other than that, no other fans installed in case. Air is drawn in at the back and expelled through the side of the radiator. Processor temperature without load: 35° C at 60% fan power. Under full load in Cinebench R23 (30 minute stress test at benchmark 19'800): 65° C at 100% fan power. Very pleasant noise level even at full power. ATTENTION: For optimal cooling performance, it is necessary to create a fan profile in Gigabyte's corresponding utility.

Price performance hit
Can be installed super and always cools well.
Unfortunately, you can not control the LED, it is quite bright and can dazzle.
I unfortunately do not know if you can manually understand or read out the speed, or whether the automatic is adjusted.
Otherwise I am very satisfied
