Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

So big time pasta

There was a free denyuzhka and I decided to discover the SJO. This one was one of the cheapest options, offering RGB backlighting, a white body color, and sync support. Without thinking twice, I ordered.

The product arrived, surprised me with its package, and I began to change the old cooling system (some kind of tower from DEEPCOOL). What was my surprise when I took out the processor along with the tower (peak 1). So think about what thermal paste you use. Further, of course, the stone fell from my hands, all the legs squinted, but I straightened everything and inserted it (everything works). I connected the LSS, it immediately turned on the backlight in breathing mode (peak 2). There are no questions about the tightness of the tubes, they are quite elastic and pliable.

I'll move on to the tests.

I'm too lazy to screen, so believe me just like that (I'm really lazy, I just ate a big pizza and I want to go lie down, but I'm writing a review).

My config:

Ryzen 5 2600 (without overclocking) (Yes, I'm an old man, but I'll ate soon and also write down a review or a review)

AsRock b450 pro4 ATX

A stress test from AIDA with the FPU turned on warmed up the CPU to an incredible 53 degrees in 2 hours. At the same time, the dropsy worked like this: the pump was at full power, the fans were about 50-55%. There was no strong howling, rather it was in the background, but obviously it could be better.

In idle, the percent keeps 30-32 degrees

Compared to the tower from DEEPCOOL, the minimum temperature remained at the same level, but the maximum dropped by 20 degrees (yes, Aida heated the air up to 70 degrees)

Pros

Excellent appearance; Support for many backlight synchronization systems (I use an asrock motherboard, I’ll write more in the comments); A rich set (I did not expect to see so many splitters, and even with caps, as if I bought something not for 5 thousand, but for 10); Ease of installation (well, depending on the case, etc.); It seems to be a good thermal paste in the kit; And, of course, the temperatures became lower (more on this in the comments too)

Cons

There are abrasions and flaws in painting, but if you look through the glass inside the case, it’s not noticeable (for the most part, these moments are next to the tubes attached to the radiator) To set up the backlight, I had to go through 9 circles of hell (IMPORTANT NOTE: this can only happen on my asrock b450 pro4 motherboard, and everything is fine on others, but the backlight software for the motherboard conflicts with Corsair's RAM backlight software, so I had to remove it, and so the same A-Turing from the same AsRock, because the launch of the backlight software completely killed the work of A-Turing)
