Awesome product, great looks, bad software
awesome performace, nice packaging, the screen on the pump is just futuristic and amazing. Solid AIO here.2 issues.... leds on the fans could be brighter, they are completely outshined by my Phanteks Evolv X Case Fans.... and Rgb Fusion software to control the lights it's just clunky as f......

Looks cool, keeps cpu cool
Pretty expensive for a heat sink, but it's water cooled and has a digital display that I just can't get enough of. If you insist on water cooled CPU and want to make your build look sick, this is for you.

Attractive Cooler, Bugged Software
The media could not be loaded. This is my first AIO purchase. I have always been too nervous about failures from them to ever attempt to install and daily use one. This is a first impressions kind of review, as I have had it installed a day.The radiator is a thinner style radiator, so if you have a thick Arctic II or EVGA CLC you would more than likely see a performance reduction in thermals.I installed this AIO in a Segotep Argus case and planned to have it installed in the rear of the case because it appeared a 280mm AIO would fit, but it is too tall and had to be installed in the front of the case, possibly for the better. (My GPU temp seems unaffected, or if anything has improved due to the quality of the fans with the kit.) For my first AIO install, it was mildly difficult, only because I have never done it before. The hardest part is mounting the radiator, the easiest part is installing the Pump on to the CPU.The fans are very high quality and while they are a little loud, they are serious air movers. Can definitely feel more air than before being moved through the case, all thanks to these 2 140mm fans (they replaced 3 120mm no name case fans.)The pump is near silent in my case, with or without the side panel on. I had it on max for a little for testing and could not hear it while it read it was running at 2700rpm, it was not noticeable and did not affect temps in any meaningful way so I left it on the "Balanced" preset.That brings us to the most negative thing about purchasing this cooler, and that is the clunky software you have to run in order to get the extra FPS from the RGB. You need 2 software suites to run this AIO correctly. I was already using RGB Fusion 2.0 because I have a Gigabyte Mobo, but you also need to install and run Aorus Engine. The RGB Fusion isn't that bad. I have used it for a few weeks now and haven't ran into any serious problems. Aorus Engine, on the other hand is really really bad. It freezes, crashes, made my graphics unstable because it in all technicality, is their GRAPHICS CARD ENGINE but I guess trying to OC an MSI card causes the display driver to crash. Had to roll back my Windows because of this issue lol.The only other real negative I have with this cooler too is the wires that come off the Pump for the fans are rather short. I had to do some pro case mods and wire stretching to get the LED cables to reach the fans installed in the front of the case.I have ran multiple Benches and Stresses and the maximum recorded temp after 3 hours in AIDA64 was 61c. Minimum temp at idle is 33c. This is all a huge improvement from my giant air cooler (Cooler Master MA620M) which maxed at about 80c and idled in the mid 40s... Because my case is not an air cooled functional case, it's built for liquid cooling AIO CLC's such as this one!I would maybe not consider so much RGB with my next AIO, if I need one. Overall besides the clunky software that they are all plagued by, I love this cooler!!!

Overpriced for features that hardly work.
The cooler itself performs fine, although corsair's fans push more air and are quieter for nearly half the price. I expected this, and paid the extra only because the block has a screen on it.Sadly this screen hardly works as advertised, and the software that controls it chews up system resources unlike anything I've seen for controlling PC hardware. It crashes every time you turn around, takes forever to load, and overall is a terrible experience.If you're buying for the screen don't bother, you'd be better of printing a piece of paper that says 30 degrees and gluing it to your heatsync.Way too expensive for the features.EDIT : The software causes the system to freeze after a few hours of running, Killing the process seems to fix this, but don't expect dynamic images (temperature, pump/fan rp, clock speed, etc) to work, unless you like crashes.

Cooling is good, software is hot garbage.
Given the cost of the AIO, I expected the software for the LCD screen to be much better. You'll need to manually open the program every time you start your computer and even then sometimes it just won't work. The cooling for it works as expected so this gets 3/5.

The software for this cooler is of poor quality, the product is overpriced for its function.
First and foremost this cooler does cool my Ryzen 5 5600X, a low power CPU, fine. Not Excellently, it maintains about 60C in game, I was expecting 40C from a 280mm array and a 65W TDP CPU.The Aorus Engine and RGBFusion 2.0 software that comes with the cooler is not so rosey. Now, This is not some multi-vendor monstrosity I built, my system:- Aorus X570 Elite Mobo- Aorus RGB Memory- Gigabyte 6600XT OC PRO GPU- Aorus RGB AIO Liquid Cooler 280Aorus Engine/ RGBFusion 2.0 does not control the cooler but the display on the cooler, which is ADVERITSED AS FULLY CUSTOMIZIBLE ... which it is NOT. It has 7 Preset mode and NO GIF Support. The RGBFusion software doe not OFFER sync in all available modes across all devices, even when all are Aorus brand.I should have purchase a Celsius+ S28 Prisma or the NZXT Kraken Z63 I would have been much happier with the cooler display. This is important since they charge you $200USD for the LIGHTING alone on this product.It will NOT work with other RGB controllers and has left such a bad taste in my mouth I'm an considering selling the whole computer to build one from Asus, with Asus and Cosair parts.

High failure rate
I'm not impressed with this Gigabyte product. The first one I fitted failed within the warranty period. I had to go back to the manufacturer for a replacement which took weeks to turn around. While it's not hard to fit these, it is fiddly and time consuming. So, the extraction and refitting of a replacement item along with the downtime was super inconvenient. Six months later, the replacement device failed. Sigh. So, I have switched to NZXT... it actually looks better... has better functionality... and has worked a treat ever since it was fitted. I now avoid Gigabyte.

Tres beau et bon water cooler cpu bruit dans la moyenne je le commende

Regular
Después de unos días dejo de marcar la temperatura. No se si sea problema del software, segue haciendo su funcion y me da pereza llevarla a revisar con un técnico.

Loud fans but got it on sale cheap
If you get it on sale for like half then it’s a good value. Cools my 10700k nicely.

Worst AIO I've ever had!!
On arrival the sleeves were already frayed and lots of bent find from shipping.Also, WORST SOFTWARE EVER!!I had this for under a month and the pump leaked on the inside. The only way I noticed was because the screen had water behind it. I contacted Aorus/Gygabite and they never responded to any of my warranty claims. They also don't have a warranty center in Canada. Thank god for Amazon's A-Z customer support approving a return over 30 days.Spend the extra money and buy the NZXT Z63 or Z73. NZXT supports gifs too! (AORUS doesn't)
