Excessively Amazing - Liam, 13 January 2025
If there was one word I would use the describe this AIO, it would be excessive.
It's thick, heavy, long, and barely fits any cases. But, for all that bulk, if you can fit it into your build, you get best in class cooling, best in class noise to performance. It's a monster of a AIO and it will preform like a monster.
There have been some complaints online that it's difficult to install, but I can assure you, that it's not. You just need to keep a firm hand on the tubes, using the other hand to guide the heatblock to the screw holes and then, after seating it, hold the heatblock down so that your other hand can screw it down, four turns at a time, alternating.
The ARGB look good, and was easy to get working. It also registers with every RGB controller program I tested it with.
A word of advice, If your motherboard has the headers, install the 3 individual controller modules instead of the all in one. I found that personally, the pump should work a little harder than the all-in-one has it working, but if your feeling uncomfortable with setting your own fan and pump curves, by all means, use the all-in-one.
For those eyeing a ProArt PA602, Yes it does fit, It fits like a glove, a really tight glove. You need to remove the wifi antenna holder at the top and snip off the useless plastic prongs at the very front of the top cover. These modifications have no visual impact and the wifi antenna holder is still usable.
