ID-COOLING FX 280 PRO SE CPU 280mm CPU Liquid Cooler for Intel & AMD

Good quality, easy installation, Keeps my cpu cool, fit literally perfect in my 280mm supported case, I had no problems getting it to work, looks good and is really quiet I recommend this and I would buy it again.

Cooler was pretty easy to install. My motherboard has some big heatsinks, and I needed to squeeze the radiator in the case. It's quiet under 75% load. Once it hits 80/85% and up on the fans, you'll definitely hear it. On the upside, my Ryzen 5 7600x never goes past 86C (and that is stock. No Curve Optimizer, undervolting or anything). There's no real RGB lighting or anything, but the logo on the pump/sink lights up a sort of off-white. It looks good. Packaging was really nice, the radiator and fins were nice and straight and not bent. The fans, themselves are pretty nice. They don't look or feel cheap. I removed the SATA power adapter, the pump runs fine off the motherboard connector. If you look at this radiator and compare it to, say an Arctic, the Arctic radiator is noticeably thicker. It's something to consider, but for the price I paid and for the performance i'm receiving, i'm not complaining at all. EDIT (After a few months) I had to replace the fan y-splitter cable. I coiled it pretty tight and probably damaged it, one fan would spin up to 100% but the reported rpm would be low and the other fan would spin at the lower rpm. I think the splitter cable is fragile/stiff, and honestly I did some weird tricks to hide the cable in my case. Very good value cooler, and i'd buy ID Cooling products in the future.

This is a great AIO cooler. Everything you need is inside. Super easy to install as well. I love the black color with the white led on the cooler. Performance is awesome! I have never had an issue with temps. I also love how I can switch it to other cases with no problem. It fits all cases. The durability on this thing is also amazing, great solid quality material.

My old water cooler finally pooped out on me and I decided to get a replacement. I don't game as much as I used to, so I wasn't looking to spend too much. This cooler is an inexpensive option and seems to perform as well as my old cooler, which was a Corsair. It's quieter than my old cooler, for sure. The Corsair always had a little bit of a garble sound when it ramped up, but this one is totally silent. The cooler came with two different mounting brackets and thermal paste, which is nice because I forgot to get thermal paste separately. The only caveat to my 5 star review is that I had to drill new screw holes in my case to get this one to fit. Even though it uses the same size fans and radiator, the holes were slightly off from my older cooler. You would think it would be standard hole spacing, but apparently not.

I'll be honest upfront, I either didn't receive a manual in the box or somehow lost it in my tiny little workshop immediately after opening it. I was not able to find a pdf for the manual anywhere, nor any written instructions, so I watched a few youtube videos specific to this exact part and my socket as well as a few others using this part with amd and newer intel sockets. It seemed reasonably simple and the video I used as my main guide ran through the installation in less than five minutes. It did not turn out reasonably simple. The mobo had an unremoveable heatsink right in the way of the only place I could mount it (at the top with the radiator facing out), so I spent some time figuring out that it not only couldn't be removed, it prevented ANY of the mounting screw holes from being accessible. This turned into a truly frustrating experience (hopefully I didn't damage the mobo with my delicate but increasingly frustrated attempts) to at least replace the heatsink with something with a lower profile by mere millimeters thiough with [almost certainly] better performance via fresh thermal compound and a proper copper heatsink. So I wound up being forced to jury-rig some vent holes in the case to hold it in the correct position, so that wasn't too terrible despite the waste of time. Then came replacing the cpu (quick, easy) with a same-gen but much higher performance option with the hope this cooling system would allow for significant overclocking. This was truly a nightmare, and in my case would have been completely impossible to do alone - I had to enlist some help to hold the bracket in place. We kept dropping parts into the case due to the difficulty in access (can't imagine how aggravating and difficult this would be if you had a big gpu or a smaller case.) Still, most issues were our fault and while my particular hardware seemed to be determined to prevent this thing from being installed, this were progressing. Finally, the end! I put the thermal compound on the cpu and begin carefully pulling back the sticker on this AIO's heatsink. It was a children's sticker. The kind where the top tears off from the adhesive, leaving it behind - and this was done with actual care and slowly. Took a good hour with a gradual intensification of equipment and effort from some quality tweezers and isopropyl alcohol to razor blades and goo be gone. I couldn't believe they would put this sort of sticker on their heatsink, but they sure did. The whole thing took over an hour and a half, most of it with the help of a second person. I'm pretty good with this sort of thing, especially since my work revolves around similar upgrades to servers and high-end desktops for AI inference, but this was just awful. No extra parts either, you lose something, you're done. And the sticker was just... I mean seriously, what in the heck. I haven't yet turned this machine on, I'm pretty doubtful it survived this process, but we will see. Still, the time it took to install, lack of direction, relatively poor design, and all that make me wonder if I should hide behind a wall when I first turn it on lest the fans explode and impale me with plastic fan blade ninja stars. I will never buy from this manufacturer again. Spend an extra few bucks and get something decent, not this monstrosity. Both of us walked away after finishing in a near-rage and we don't even know if it works yet, it really was just that aggravating. It's not worth your time or the life-long cpu cooler PTSD you will acquire.

initially bought as a 'cheap' replacement while i RMA'd the one I was using, but its given exactly similar cooling results - and has the bonus of a non fear inducing tension clip system. Two things to note - 1) the included thermal paste tube is moronically long for the amount included (enough for atleast 1 pasting - I had to do 2 because of a case / number of hard drive issues - technically the tubes could be a few inches longer - mines mounted at the front tubes down), and 2) the fans I cant get down below 820 rpm no matter what fan control is set to (have to poke around in bios maybe - user error? probably). Also note The LED's Do Not Turn Off (I might desolder them actually....) weird how the LED-less one is more expensive. meh

Used this on a server upgrade, so it doesn't see gaming, but it does process 4K security camera feeds and videos via Plex transcoding. HW monitor shows max CPU temp so far has been 54.8C with 100% core utilization, which is well within the Ryzen's max temp. Install was easy, so I'm happy for getting a functional cooler for the price paid.

Temps don't exceed 55c while 4k gaming. Processor is a overclocked 5.3 gh 13700k paired with a 4070Ti no noise from the pump runs quite at about 34.5 Db cooling is great I live in Florida room temp is about 35c so like 70°F. I have no complaints other than the stock fans. Which I replaced with some Noctua fans that are quieter and at a higher Rpm but for the price can't beat it. One thing to note when mounting make sure that you have small ram sticks the radiator is quite thick and that added with the fans won't clear some ram like corsair rgb pro or dominator for example. I had to front mount my aio due to this issue. But if you have a bigger case than a corsair 4000d airflow you should be fine. Great product simple to install. Comes with thermal paste applied but I use thermal grizzly cryonaught. If you're doing an all black or non rgb build fits nice. If Rgb is your jam you can always get a set of lian li or corsair fans and attach them to your Rgb header. I will be cleaning the radiator this week and must say that after an entire year I could probably go another year without cleaning it.

Update: many hours have passed of me gaming on it and cooling my Ryzen 7 9800x3d (upgraded from 7800x3d) and it’s been flawless. Also the bubbles and gurgling was my fault, it was the way the tubes were positioned. It is SO quiet! Even with my cpu sitting at 73 degrees and fans are at like 40%. Amazing. Old review: Very good price for a 280mm aio. Managed to cram this into a cooler master nrp200v2. I swapped the fans for RGB ones from Arctic but you should be fine with the ones that come with the cooler. Performs well. I have a Ryzen 7 7800x3d and it keeps its cool and is quite quiet. Only issue I noticed is after a really long and hot gaming session, the cooler starts to gurgle with bubbles. A bit annoying. I made sure to tilt it and get air out of the pump but it might be because it got so hot. Anyways I think it might be my fault as I played around with fan curves. Another thing to note, if your pump light is not fully lit up then your port on the Motherboard isn’t giving 100% power and might damage your pump with time. Also no way to turn off the light but that’s fine.

I have several AIOs from Corsair in my computers. I bought this AIO because I needed something cheaper and equally good. I was completely surprised by this model. Very easy to install and extremely quiet and effective in operation. No RGB, but I didn't need it in this computer, no monitor on the pump (I didn't need it either). However, they operate very quietly and keep the processor temperature low. AIO is not big. Only 280mm but very good. I use it to cool the Intel i7 12700K processor. I play a lot on this computer and I am very pleased with the quality and performance of this AIO. I highly recommend. You won't spend much money, and competing companies demand a lot of money for their AIOs. Why overpay?

Acquistato attratto dal prezzo,quando ho ricevuto l'articolo mi sono ricreduto per la qualità. Svolge in maniera eccelsa la sua funzione di raffreddamento. Esteticamente anche bello da vedere con il led "flebile" sull'attacco cpu. Io ho preso la versione con le ventole da 14 e per quanto riguarda il flusso d'aria è notevole, naturalmente per avere il regime di rotazione affinchè sia silenzioso va settato dal bios o utility della vostra scheda cosa che molte volte non è automatica. Acquisto consigliato.

Been working strong for about 8 months now, I would personally recommend, especially for the price it was when bought.

I brought this to replace my corsair, my corsair started leaking and sadly died on me after a few years.. I was buying something cheap because i have an (i7-5960x). I was waiting for an RMA to be approved... and well.... that was a month ago or so, I'M STILL USING THIS! Yes I got a brand new cooler, not the H115I i got the XT version that just came out, but I'm not using it! This cooler is amazing, I thought it was going to be something cheap, not that affective but boy was I wrong, this is keeping my (i7-5960X at 4.2GHZ) cooled to the bone as much as my old h115i was.. jesus... The fans are pretty basic, but boy, no sound issues here, as good sounding as my old H115is.. it's all plug and play, no firmware, software, nothing, plug it in and let it do the rest! I will be buying "ID" gear in the future if i can't find anything else where, this will be my goto.. if i ever need anything else! ID-Cooling, ID-FANTASTIC! You've gained me as a customer and any one that needs a new cooler, i'm recommending you!
