YaeCCC LED Liquid CPU Cooler Water Cooling System Radiator 120mm with Fan for Inter AMD

Had to come back, and edit my last review of this cooler. At first I was very disappointed because of fluctuating temperatures, and my idle being near 150F.The temps all leveled out though at 120 - 145 F at idle though, and have stayed there.After several days of use and I have come to the conclusion that this cooler works much better than I gave it credit for.IF YOU ARE EXPECTING your idle temps to drastically drop after install you're out of luck with this rig. But if you want your CPU to remain its idle temp while under massive load, this little bugger works like a dream!!Pros:1. Quiet as a mouse2. Keeps cpu cool under load3. Neat red led'sCons:1. Not the easiest thing to install if your computer skeleton doesn't immediately give you access to the back of your mobo without removing the board.2. L.E.D's only come in red. Big oof.I can now run RDR2 or EFT while running OBS, and a temp monitoring software all at the same time and my cpu doesn't get above 155 F.I am extremely satisfied.All together though at first I didn't like it much I am loving it now, and would totally recommend it to anyone!

This thing well exceeded my expectations and well worth the spend.I was worried about the cooling capability as well as the sound at max load, but neither of those ended up being an issue.The versatility of the included hardware was great. Pretty much covers all Intel/AMD processors.The fan was listed as having a higher db than my Noctura fans, but rated a higher air flow, so I left them. To my surprise, even at max RPM, this fan is still very quite in my case.The actual cooling capability is great. It had no problem keeping my AMD 3600 and now a 5600x3D below hitting any throttle limits during gaming. Again, surprising for a non-brand name 180mm radiator.Had a more name-brand cooler on my list as backup, but glad I never had to pull the trigger, highly recommended.

Over all the item if work as advertised, would be adding great value to any system build.I bought 2 of these aio cpu coolers thought the pictures looked good, everything in spec looks solid and for what I needed they should do the job, and the price was very reasonable for new aio coolers.The boxes were closed without any stickers or locking mechanism to secure the boxes closed, nothing seemed to leaked out through the cracks though; their retail boxes were not damaged during shipping and they were closed tight.The cooler instruction had merely 1 line mentioning the am4 compatible bracket, but it's there and it works.The edges of the heat sink plate had hard stains that could not be removed as if they were used for long periods of time or sustained some kind of moisture or rust damage.Had a problem with included back plate would not work with the screws, took a while to diagnose, realized one of the screws would not screw in, used what's included in the motherboard package and threw the aio backplate in the box. So the problem was the included backplate not the hardness screws for the cooler. I would suggest buy another compatible backplate from another vendor.Included thermal paste is not exceptional quality but works well enough.Once installed red LED lights up, the fan is quiet enough, PWM settings in bios works fine so cooler is doing its job, bravo.A bunch of left over stuff for other socket CPUs, threw them in the retail box and everything worked fine.Overall a good experience for habitual system builders.

I'll admit, I was NOT expecting much. This honestly exceeded every expectation. So here we go.First off, computer is an OLD circa 2010 Intel X58 setup. LGA 1366 I7-950, Asus Rampage III Gene, etc. Good little winter time space heater. It's pulling duties as a home server with a GT710 GPU (no onboard) and 8x 3TB HDD's on a Dell PERC H700 RAID card......i.e. LOTS of heat being generated. On a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo with 2x Arctic P12's in a push/pull config the CPU was idling between 40 and 50 depending on ambient.So straight to the results. Pic number 1 is the side by side Before/After. Averaged you can see before it was sitting about 40° C but that was WITH the case side off, left on it was at 44. After you can see the average is about 34° C and that was with the case side ON, all closed up. That's significant IMO considering I ran it, gave it a load for a little while, and let it settle back down. I will note that a day later, ambient is in the upper 70's, and it's idling today at 40° with the case fully closed where as last week with the same temps it was a solid 48-50° on the Hyper 212.On to the product. Second pic is a good overview. Brackets for......about everything. I actually thought the Intel bracket was VERY slick with the adjustable points, but I did knock it because with the LGA 1366 socket settings, there were ZERO standoff's to be used. That caused a more troublesome installation as nothing was securing the rear bracket as I installed, I had to tape in in place because you literally have to keep it there, place the heat sink/pump, and put screws through that directly to the bracket. A stand off adapter would have been FAR more conducive towards installation, but at the same time, who's installing stuff like this on LGA 1366 setups anymore, besides me? Not many. Worth a star through.The heat sink / pump are heavy and formidable. Well built, sides are kind of flimsy but the overall package is solid and heavy. The radiator is typical stuff, fin pattern is a little thin but it works.The fan. Oh, the fan. I did NOT use it on the radiator. I took one look and said nope. Put an Arctic P12 on it in a push config and used it as an intake at the back of the case (top exhaust). Cut curiosity got the better of me so I plugged the fan into one of the front intakes. WOW. It moves air well (not as well as the P12 but still very good) and was AS QUIET AS THE ARCTIC P12 RUNNING DIRECTLY BELOW IT. That absolutely shocked me. It is blazing red, which isn't my thing, but it is PWM. Very surprisingly good fan.Installation instructions were fairly clear but one thing I didn't like was you have to put the Pump and Fan on separate headers, and if you're on an older motherboard like mine, you may not have dual CPU Fan or CPU Fan / CPU Pump headers. I ended up putting the pump (since it's a 3 pin) on a Power Header and the Fan on the CPU header, then used Speedfan to control things. It works.All in all I'm tickled pink with this. It had a NOTICEABLE difference on a old toaster of a setup, and while I'm not going to set any overclocking records with it, it's doing what I intended at a fraction of the price of others available without all the bells and whistles. Just a simple, clean, effective AIO.
