Great AIO! - Water Cooling Systems

Why does this particular line of Cooler Master monoblocks seem to be hidden? It's hard to know they even exist, from PC PartPicker not listing them anywhere to CM's own website where they are easy to spot. This is by far my favorite style on all of the CoolerMaster AIO pumps; I really hope they gradually implement this design instead of abandoning it. In fact, this might be my favorite aesthetic of any AIO pampa period. Minimal branding, a subtly implemented infinity mirror and very well diffused ARGB lighting without any strange pinout (for reference 5V ARGB, 4 slots with 3 pins). I can confirm that it works well with at least MSI's Mystic Light and ASUS' Aura Sync. Assembly is ok, I would even call it easy (very strong glue on the back of the motherboard, helps to mount stands). Thing is, the instructions are very confusing. For example, I know how to put them on, but I started the installation by following the instructions and got confused pretty quickly. This is doable, but not very practical for beginners. Sidebar: I find that most CoolerMaster products suffer from confusing instructions and sometimes poorly thought out and cluttered builds. This is in contrast to, say, Noctua. Don't get me wrong, I love CoolerMaster products in general. They generally have great features and quality for the price of almost everything they sell. But, IDK, please, better instructions? In any case, there is nothing more to say. Standard fans are well designed with damping mounts. Motor noise is ok, but they do have a bit of resonance noise at certain speeds (this applies to most fans except for the high-end fans). The pump is very quiet at a good 1400rpm, but at a top speed of 2500rpm it has a fairly noticeable hum (again, nothing out of the ordinary). I've never noticed that it makes high-pitched noise at any rpm, so that's a good thing. The noise at high RPM was a mid-pitched bass hum, and at low RPM the only noise was a slight ticking, which you once should have heard with the fans off. Great cooler. Please do more in this style.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • There are bugs
