Rounds: Olive Owl

- Great cooling, I noticed a huge reduction in my temps after installing this- Very easy to install into your build, if you're not confident, I would recommend looking up some guides on YouTube, there's plenty of videos showing how to install this product- Very silent, haven't noticed much noise as all, and you can always replace the fans down the line, but the stock fans seem great

The media could not be loaded. Really good aio nzxt never disappoints I have had this aio for about a year and a half now and I'm very happy with the performance and I love the aesthetics of it too I'm using an i5 11600k which is quite a hot CPU but this aio has zero problems cooling it at idle Its only around 25-30°c at 4.9ghz and while gaming it only gets to around 43°c its very consistent and my CPU is always running at full turbo boost frequency and it never thermal throttles it does a really good job and still has a lot of headroom if you want to overclock your cpu it's not really too loud either but you can control the fan curve from the nzxt cam app you can also control the RGB for the cooler block there too overall I'm very impressed with this cooler and I have had zero issues with it I'd highly recommend it

This cooler is amazing:- Easy to install- Very quiet- Good software- Infinity mirror looks amazingWith a Ryzen 7 3700x I get around 30 - 40 degrees while IDLE, and around 40 - 60 under full load. It's worth noting this is using the "silent" profile, so it would definitely be capable of more.If you care about aesthetics this cooler looks really nice, I'm a big fan of the infinity mirror.Note: I don't know if others will experience this, but when I very first used this It made a very audible bubbling noise. Something I was alarmed by, as it indicated air had got into the closed-loop. However, I am glad to say after around 2 hours of use the noise slowly disappeared until it was no longer present. I'm not sure if this is normal, and you just have to break-in a new AIO or what, but the documentation says nothing about it.

Bought this to put in my custom PC. It does the job well and the included thermal paste is a great addition. My only gripe is that it is sometimes quite loud on relatively basic tasks when not much of the CPU is being used. I've checked my BIOS settings to try and control this more but never had much luck. Not a major problem by any means, but It could be more controlled. Still worth buying.

I’m leaving my original review up for posterity, however my score has changed as the issue below has been fixed for a while now and apparently I forgot to update my review. Excellent product!Original:Great product, BUT! The unique selling point of this item is the customisable display. When it works, it’s fantastic. But there are current issues with the CAM software that affect your ability to control the display. I’m using a Ryzen 5 5600x (and I know other CPUs are affected too, please research further before buying) and using the CAM software causes periodic system freezes. Windows becomes unresponsive, though oddly you can still interact with other programs. This issue has been ongoing for a while by the looks of it and there is no fix in the horizon. Please do your own research before buying to see if any of your system specs will lead to CAM causing system freezes. If you’re like me, considering how long this issue has been going on without a fix, you may well be better off spending less money on a less flashy AIO, or buying a flashy AIO from a different manufacturer.Looks great when it’s not causing issues, but not worth the pain. With CAM running so that I can control the LCD screen, I experience 3-4 system freezes daily, with the only option to escape the freeze being a hard reset.To reiterate, this issue only seems to come into play with certain CPUs - please do your own research before buying.Without this issue, product would receive 5 stars. Thermals are nice and low, the fans are pretty quiet, it’s looks awesome as is (but would look better if LCD screen was working correctly with my set up). Will change review once CAM software is fixed.

To cut short- ( CPU 5600 x )using my amd stock cooler: 57 degrees idle around 65-71 under a small load (avg 20%) and no matter the game I’d be running a constant 80-83 degrees.With the kraken: 20-27 degrees idle. 33-38 under small load. I haven’t reached above 52 degrees on any of the games I’ve played. And under 100% load for 10 minutes on a cpu burner the lowest temp was 54 high 57. Being able to have the cpu temps on a 5600 x under 60 degrees with 100% load (noise not being an issue at all) is unbelievably good at this price range infact this cooler would be up to high standards with top range aios double the price bought for £115 premium delivery and it’s been my best valued upgrade along with my gpu. (I’ve upgraded all the major components) 100% recommendSide notes- have done optimisation for the cpu (nothing technical just watch a 5 minute yt video which has helped towards such good temps) bit of a pain to install quite time consuming but I think all that is worth the outcome

I bought a bigger 3 fan model but it wouldn't fit in the case so I bought this one, it fitted the case, it runs quiet, keeps the pc cool, so far no problems.

I guess its what you'd expect from a £130 cooler. It has pre applied thermal paste, so I wouldnt bother with buying a tube. Pretty easy install in the H510 case, just make sure you put the cases bracket on the right way up first time!Runs really quiet and keeps my PC cool as a cucumber. The infinite mirror effect looks nice and theres quite a few options for customization in the NZXT CAM software.I would say it was worth the money for the aesthetics, if you like that sort of thing, but if you're on a tight budget and not bothered for looks, just get a Noctua. You can get the same cooling performance from a fan cooler, that goes for all AIOs.
