Great cooler, works with 120mm fans

Great product. Same performance as my old Thermaltake 360mm ARGB AIO. It is important to know that the 140mm fan is big enough. So if you have a lot of RAM, you need to mount the fan higher above the RAM. But in my case I chose 120mm Thermaltake ARGB and Deepcool RGB fans. To my surprise, the screw holes for these fans are in the exact same locations as the screw holes on the original 140mm fans that came with this cooler, allowing my 120mm fans to be perfectly attached to the heatsink. My results with my 9900k (1.25V, typ. 4.7GHz, Hyperthreading activated) so far at 80F environment: 100% CPU utilization with 7Zip: approx. 70CPrime95 v26.6 (without AVX): 85CPrime95 with AVX: 100C, and throttles my CPU a bit. Gaming: Gaming temperatures are excellent, ranging in the mid-50s to 60s for most games. When playing Call of a Duty Warzone (which is very CPU intensive), temperatures fluctuate between 60 and 70 degrees. Temperature results are good, especially during gaming. These results are from my 120mm ARGB and RGB fans (non-original) which have an airflow of around 47cfm. My ARGB and RGB fans are weaker than the original ones coming from the cooler itself. The original fans are 140mm and have an airflow of about 90cfm. So I'm sure my results will be better using the original fans. I am very satisfied with the product and recommend it to everyone. I definitely prefer this to my old AIO liquid cooler. And best of all, this cooler cannot leak (because it's air) and you can retrofit the fans yourself if the original 140mm fans aren't good enough.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • A few small things
