Absolute rubbish! to the internals

This is by far the worst AIO I've ever used (I previously had a Corsair H110 which is pretty old I think 7 years old and still works better than the Ryujin) so far In pure performance there are many other AIOs that perform better than this ex. NZXT, Corsair, EVGA. The only thing that makes it reasonably good is the built in fan to cool the VRM but it gets very noisy and obnoxious, you also have a few different cables coming out of the AIO, there is a SATA connector for power , a pump cable, a fan splitter and a USB 2.0 jumper cable, make sure your motherboard has an available 2.0 connector for it or you'll kick yourself in the ass when you're off working! If you buy this cooler please know that you are buying it for purely aesthetic reasons and you will be disappointed! Firstly, the cover that covers the Oled screen is acrylic and for example it scratches very easily, even if you are meticulous and use microfiber gloves and such, you will still find many micro scratches everywhere, even the cover doesn't stay completely flat, the first I had to repair due to a lot of bent radiator fins and on this one the cover didn't go straight either, it's a bit crooked and very frustrating. Second, the software downloads junk and the gif is so buggy it's not even worth bothering with and some gifs just don't work and get stuck on the display where you have to restart the computer, I actually had to die Reinstall firmware and yes I have met the requirements to support GIF images. The Aura controls in LiveDash are used to give you a rainbow effect that you can customize. I set mine to pink, purple and orange and now for some reason the feature is completely gone and now there are only basic color schemes like static or rainbow you may not be able to customize (you can still sync it with the aura, but you won't get a custom rainbow effect if your motherboard's RGB connectors are 12V). When displaying the GPU temperature, the icon on the Oled has a blue liquid and it's a little annoying to see, if your build is RGB and this is one of the main features of AIO, the temperature display also often freezes. The new Kraken AIO shows CPU and GPU temperatures and you can adjust all colors, it's amazing this feature is not in ryujin unless this product was released before i bought ryujin. I wanted to try this AIO but didn't have to as I've now passed my return window and am stuck on this piece of junk!
