AIO GPU liquid cooling - Does it get any easier? I'm used to running a custom loop but this is just as effective and much less hassle. My temps going from 980's in a full loop to two 980 ti's with the AIO from EVGA have risen a whopping 2c and with no real upkeep I'll take it.

As for performance, running two 980 Ti's and a 5930K I've been able to run every game out there at max settings at 1440p and hit in most, 100+ fps. So if you're running a 1440p 144hz+ monitor, you can't go wrong with running 980 Ti's in SLI.

There isn't that much maybe for two cpus and it seems very liquidy. Just spend the extra few bucks for some arctic silver 7, it works a lot better and their is much more of it.

The kit itself is nice, complete with every thing needed to install. As stated by others the instruction's are horrible (Thermaltake's trademark). This is the first time I have installed water cooling and had to kinda figure some of out as I went (thank god for Google) Also as mentioned by others, I had to use pliers to get the fittings together. Installed in a few hours, filled it up and let it run 16 hours, with no leaks. That said the cooling aspect of this unit is AWESOME. I have an I7 6700k processor and before the water cooler I was using a Hyper 212 evo cooler. Overclocked to 4.3GHz I was running at 29c idle and 73c at 100% load (using AIDA64). Now with this unit installed I have ran 4.7GHz 23c idle and 71c at 100% (only 10 minutes to see if I could) and normal 4.5GHz (1.25v) idle 20c and 58c at 100%. overall very happy. Get this kit if you are overclocking, price is good and works great.

Allows me to liquid cool my GTX 970 and get the noise under control. I used it with a non-standard card, so I had to install an extra fan to cool the VRM's because they're not positioned under the G10 fan.

I recently moved from an Asus P8p67 I5 2500k that was dying on me to a MSI z97 Gaming 5 I7 4790k. I tried using my old Asetek water cooler but it just wasn't up to the task. I'd average 40c idle and hit the thermal limit running a stress test. After installing the h80i, idle dropped to 25c and average 60-65c with quick spikes up to 85c (vs avering 95c-100c where the chip throttles down). The spikes are very quick, probably where the pump is speeding up. I have it set to silent mode btw, I tried performance and that was pretty noisy and didn't seem to make a difference..The fans can be loud if you put them on high and leave them there, though I don't see a good reason to. You're just wasting electricity having them maxed out while browsing the web.

This water cooler is good for stock and a moderate overclock. If you want to push the 4790k's overclock to the stratosphere buy a case that can hold the H110i. I don't need to do a big overclock though I'll probably try and move it up to 4.5ghz sooner or later just for the hell of it. :)

Very easy to install.  I mounted it in the front of the case as an intake, the tubing was just long enough.  I have a very big tower case though, so if its long enough for that, it will be long enough for any case, IMO.  It helps that you can mount the block in afew different ways.  The block makes very good contact with the CPU, so no issues there.

The performance is out of this world.  This is no doubt the price performance king in the AIO world.

I take away 1 star because there's software control to speak of.  Coming from Corsair Link, its a step down.  It still works great, I just miss that level of customization.  Also, no lighting.  Not a big deal at all really, but they could have added a light on the block to make it look nicer.  The system that the cooler is installed in doesn't have a side window though, so really not a big deal, however most cases do have side windows.  Also the build quality is not as good as the corsair aio's I have used in other builds, but then again it works just as good if not better and is cheaper.

If price/performance is your number 1 priority, this AIO should definitely be on your list if you are in the market for AIOs.  If you want a more premium built and looking kit, consider other brands first, but always keep in mind this performs as good or better than almost any other AIO on the market.

A little bit pricey for a cooler, but works a treat - my GTX 980 Ti is now much quieter, than with stock reference turbine.
Besides, coolers and pumps speed up to hearing noises only when real load on a GPU is put. In everyday gaming, I can barely hear it.

So I have like 2 months using this product and so far these are the thing you should know

After a long research I went for this water cooling solution from Corsair, I talked to many friends who are really into the custom water cooling world, they seemed to agree if you're a noob in this world you should try one. I'm glad I made this choice

I run a AMD FX CPU I know they are really hot, but I'm surprised that my temperatures before H60 with the stock fan were around 65C (140F), and after my H60 got installed, now is around 40C (104F) fully loaded (playing BF4 ULTRA), that's a lot!

One thing you must know and be aware is the fan that comes with the H60 is loud, but to being honest it worth, for AMD sockets is really simple to install, but with my motherboard (ASUS Sabertooth) the pipes touch the ram

Do I recommend this product? Yes
Is the noise worth getting one? Yes

I hope this can help you

I installed this on my LGA 775 Intel Core2 Duo E8400 (Wolfdale) 3.0 GHz to replace the stock cooler.  I used Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound instead of the stuff that comes with it. I noticed after a few days of use, my CPU is running about 10 degrees cooler during load (playing games). It might be worth noting that when I installed this I also installed/replaced some new case fans, and re-did my cable management to maximize air flow. If you are thinking of cooling your system down I would recommend doing this at the same time you install this heatsink. As far as installation goes, it was pretty easy. While it is quite tall compared to the stock cooler, It fit just fine in my Cooler Master Storm Scout case.

Great device for attaching a water cooler to your GPU. Easy to install, but you might need an additional fan if the VRAM heatsinks are on both sides of your graphics card.

Here is some help for those installing on an LGA 1366 board (like me using an i7-980x cpu).  The instructions are lacking for 1366 boards other than mentioning this cooler is compatible.

1st - use the standoffs that have the same size threads on each end.  The LGA 2011 standoffs are different in that regard.  No reference as to which to use for 1366 boards is made in the instructions.  I had to waste time googling this to make sure I wasn't missing parts or bought the wrong cooler.
2nd - once you thread the stand offs through the motherboard and into the backing plate, it is normal the the backing plate to NOT be pulled up tight against the backside of the motherboard.  This will happen later once you install the thumbscrews onto the top of the standoffs which is done when securing the top mounting bracket over the cooler base.
3rd - if you want to make cleaning dust off the radiator easier, try to install the fan so that it pulls air through it rather than push air into it.  Testing by many others has shown no performance difference.  If you use a "push" configuration, what you will find is dust getting trapped between the fan and radiator, many times requiring the removal of the fan just to clean everything thoroughly.  In a "pull" setup, dust lands on the radiator fins which act as a filter before dust  can get to the fan itself, making it easier to blow/vacuum dust off the fins.

Performance:  With lots of airflow in a modded case, this keeps my i7-980x overclocked to 4.0  under 50C during heavy loads.  I'm okay with that.  I'm a 4k video editor - not really a gamer.  I did not use the pre-applied thermal paste - I used Artic MX-4.  This cooler is nearly silent in operation - a welcome change from air cooling.

This is an amazing Cooling Performance - I put this on my EVGA 670 FTW 2GB, it took me from 70C to 45C full load!  Ultra Quite - I can't even hear it, vs the stock cooler which definitely starts to make noise after 60C since its at 60% speed.  Allows for extra OverClock - Due to the low temps, I am able to put my card at 1.3GHZ Clock, 7Ghz Mem. 145% target power. And I don't get any hiccups or stutters, once I push past 1.3 into 1.31-1.35 territory it still works, but will crash the drivers from time to time. 1.35-1.4 seems to fail regardless. The medium temps will definitely extends card life, especially for the heavy users like me.  The small heatsinks accelerate the heat transfer in VR and RAM area. It cost me nearly 2 hours to assemble it. Assembly is required and the inclusion of having to assemble small soft "spacers" is a big headache. I actually gave up on adding these. Only enough parts for exactly what is needed. I broke one of the backplate screws and didn't have a 4th one to fit, now the backplate is somewhat lopsided, but the foam spacer makes up for that. I still think it is a nice cooling solution for my card.

It does what it's supposed to do. Be a mount. After that it was also partially the reason how I managed to kill my R9-290 GPU. Then again that was also my fault. I had bought this to pair up liquid cooling (Corsair H75) to my XFX DD R9-290 which had no good reason for why it needed it, besides the fact I wanted it to have liquid cooling. A quick check of NZXT's site showed my card as being a compatible one, however, it did have the * next to it meaning "* Some variations in AMD die height may require the use of a copper shim which is not included in G10. You need to purchase the shim by yourself." . However mine did not require this. Next up it also said the H75 cooler would work just fine.

All of the pieces of the puzzle finally arrived and like a timid little kid I disassembled my perfectly good GPU to "modify/upgrade" it. However, as I discovered rather quickly the screw mounts for the AMD GPU are the narrowest ones and that combined with the plastic bump outs for the H75 meant 3 of the screw heads couldn't fit! So being the macgyver I am, I took and grinded down the screwheads to about half their original size, enabling them to fit under the H75's cover. Alright ez pz! put everything together, mounted it all in my case and everything fired up. It was a huge relief. but.....

3 days later while I was sittin at my computer not doing anything, all my screens shut down! Ok, no big deal...restarted it and nothing. Computer would run but no monitors were responding...attempted this 3 more times before deciding something must have happened with the GPU. Took it out and all apart (when doing this the plastic cover on the H75 easily popped off which meant I would have never had any mounting issues if I had figured that out in the first place) to see some weird "metal flakes" on the cooler. I thought maybe it just needed some new thermal compound so I wiped it clean and that's when I saw something no PC enthusiast should ever see....those metal "flakes" were actually chunks! And there were cracks extending on both sides of those missing chunks.

What happened? Well like I said I ground down the screw heads to fit under the H75 cover, but in order to tighten them I made a rookie mistake and used a screwdriver (ALWAYS TIGHTEN YOUR SCREWS BY HAND!!! ALWAYS!!!) because I couldn't get to them by hand. Which in turn lead to me over torquing the screws, applying too much pressure on the GPU! @#^#$Y#$TY#$$!@@$!!%^ After 3 days of some gaming and everyday use, the heat combined with pressure must have got to it and physically cracked my GPU. smh.

I've learned from my mistakes. Went and found another R9-290 off craigs list and now am awaiting NZXT to get some new mounting screws so I can do this again...but the correct way.

I can't knock NZXT for what happened. Although I did try and contact them through email about the combination of intercooler, graphics card and their mount that I wanted to use to make sure they would work together and they never did respond. The mount worked exactly like it was supposed too. Rookie mistakes were made though which lead me to killing a perfectly good graphics card. I'll attach some photo's from my experience for your laughs.

I purchased this because my stock fan and heat sink just were not cutting it anymore. It was my first step towards water cooling and the all in one design made it very easy. My cpu  temps went from 55-60 idle down into the 30's and under load I never get above 70. I should also mention that my cpu is NOT over clocked. Now there are other coolers like this that are not as big and do operate in the same temperature range but I had the room in my HAF 932 case so I went with the 360mm radiator.

I needed an alternative solution...  the unit works great but make sure you know your airflow management. Its a great part in that, it can fit in a pci slot, without bulking up space. My unit came with a bracket slightly angled, which was great since I needed the angle towards the  cpu area and the gpu.

In any case it works better if you have fan splitter system. I am ok with it.  Not sad or happy because  as a build my chassis was the wrong pick, but the GELID fans are really great, it takes the life out of the other fans I have incidentally.

But be sure to buy your own splitter , the splitter provided by the kit can sometimes be off, or quality control  would just chuck in whatever it had.

By far the easiest high end liquid cooler I have installed.  This was the first time I have used a pump + reservoir combination and it makes filling/emptying much easier.  I'm using this kit inside a big mountain mods case that has a horizontal motherboard mounting and XSPC puts enough tubing to reach the CPU far away with the pump down at the bottom of the case.  I have a i7-5960x running at 4GHz and this cooling loop keeps the temperatures in the mid 60C range under stress testing in Prime95 and LinX.  In the future I might add a second radiator to this loop but for the moment I don't need it.
