I hate giving this 1 star
I really wanted to like this AIO, I really did. EK/EKWB - the Rolls Royce of watercooling has finally dabbled into AIO's. I used to use nothing BUT EKWB everything back when I was a young stud who loved to OC his computer and play COD all night. Now days I'm a fanny pack wearing new balance shoe Dad who uses his computer as a distraction from his children screaming two rooms over.
Anyways, had this bad boy on maybe a day, I come downstairs to hear a nasty grinding noise. I suspect there is a wire in a fan in my case, nope! It's the pump on this AIO grinding like Shakira at the Superbowl game before the last. It was loud and nasty and realized my cpu was sitting a tad bit over 90!
Rebooted the PC and it wont even let me get past the POST screen due to CPU TEMPERATURE ISSUE.
This is probably the most beautiful, wellbuilt, sturdy, and reasonably priced AIO on the market. It just didn't work for me. My ryzen 3900x is worth more than a 2nd chance. Have you seen CPU prices lately? Nope, not risking it. Look at the other 1 star reviews. Nothing but pump issues. Something needs to be worked out.
Anyways, I'd say still buy it if you're looking at it. This is just my experience.
