So far, perfect. Outstanding Company Customer Service! Good company!
Giagbyte Aorus Pro Wifi ITX board.AMD version R5 3600 installUPDATE 03/01/2021: ROCK SOLID PERFORMANCE, and fans can go as slow as 500RPM = DEAD SILENT. People, listen, this unit is as good as they get. Top quality.Original Review and updates to that below--------I've written these poor guys about 5 times, and each time they have written back with great explanations and they are just really good!I just got this installed and ran it all day. Seems to be perfect so far.My ITX board has one CPU fan header, one sys fan header (both 4 pin) and two RGB risers. One of the RGB risers is static RGB (nonaddressable for the CPU, at 12V, so I don't know what Gigabyte was thinking on that one) and one DLED addressable RGB riser on the board.Installation:If you have ever done it before, it's intuitive, but I never had. I had a little bit of frustration figuring out how to hook the DLED block and fans together. The manual says its 5V, and since my CPU RGB header is not addressable and 12V, I plugged everything into board DLED 5Vconnector using the splitter they include. (Edit: I've moved most of my DLED lighting to an ARGB hub powered by a 5A SATA connector. I'm using the motherboard only as a controller for that aspect of lighting.)The process is like this: Ignore the directions for DLED block connections unless you have more than one DLED riser. They say to plug the "sync cable into the block and then into the 5V DLED connector on the MB." Ok, then what? Now I have no riser to plug the fans into. They were probably writing the manual as if all MBs have more than one DLED riser. Anyway, they included an RGB splitter cable, which I plugged into the only DLED riser I have, then plugged the block DLED into that, and the fans into the other end of the Y cable. Like I said, if you have ever done it it's a no brainier. In my case, I could only hook it up one way, so it is what it is.They also include one PWM Y cable for fan power, but again, I only have two fan risers, both are 4 pin. I have tons of fan splitters so I just Y cabled twice and plugged in my case fans and the radiator fans. I have a fan hub that I will use after I make sure all of my parts work (this is a 100% new build.) (Edit: I eventually used a fan hub powered by SATA and controlled by the motherboard.)Water block installation:I didn't need to take my already mounted board out. It's no big deal to take the board out, but it was actually easier to leave it in. The mounting bracket has friction washers that hold it in place. The spacers on the top of the board are also friction sliders and help keep the back-plate in place while you mount the block.The instructions, again, were not detailed much about which direction to mount the back plate, but I got it sorted. (Enermax, it would be nice to include a blown up image of which direction to mount the back-plate, although I'm pretty sure if you mount it wrong, you won't be able to mount the water block.) It is not really right off intuitive because the AMD placement of the back-plate is placed on ridges that do not allow the plate to sit flat on the back of the motherboard. It's hard to explain in writing. Anyway, with a magnifying glass I found a picture of it and found you do mount the backplate "bumps" down.Also, if you are building in a tight case, make sure you plug the DLED cable into the water block before installing it on the CPU. Otherwise, you'll end up removing the water bock just so you can plug in the DLED cable.NOTES:(1) WATER BLOCK LABEL: I wanted to mount the hoses on the opposite side of the RAM, but the label would have been upside down. Amazon answers were no help. One said you cannot rotate it, the other said you can by taking out the 4 small screws in the top of the block. EDIT: Enemax also said you can rotate it, but to be very careful screwing back in the screws so as not to crack the cover plate.(2) PUMP SPEED CONTROL: I was disappointed that the water block came with a 3 pin fitting, which means no PWM control of the pump speed, but that may be because of electrical demands using PWM. Three pin CPU fans can still be controlled using voltage options in the BIOS. Most BIOS today just change it automatically. I don't like to run anything at full speed unless I need to, including fans. Anyway, I asked if I can control the pump speed, and Enermax responded and said slowing the pump in BIOS is no problem. I tried both PWM and Voltage control. The pump made protesting noises when using PWM, so I used voltage control and got the pump down to a silent 220 RPMs. At the pump's max RPM of 3200 RPM wide open, you can hear a little whine when in a quite room. It's not loud, but in a quite room, it can be a little annoying. (My rig puts the pump abut 5' from my ears.) While playing games or listening to music, etc., you won't hear the pump at full speed. But, why run it full speed when you don't need it?FAN NOISE: I do NOT hear fan blade chop noise, even at their 2000RPM max rotational speed. What I hear is a whoooose of air. The fan itself is very, very quite. The fans are max speed 2000 RPMs. At anything over 1000RPM, you start to hear the air they move pretty well. At 2000 RPM, you're definitely hearing the air movement!The fans extremely high pressure wide open, so that's to be expected with ANY fan. Those babies push a LOT of air. I can feel the air blowing through the radiator 4" away from it. You can control fan speed using your BIOS. Getting them below 1000 RPMs pretty much shuts them up. I was using them in an open case because of system burn in. Putting the case panels on would probably shut them up a fair enough amount too, unless you are sitting in a very quite room. (I did put the panels on, but WFO, you can still hear the air pretty good.)EDIT: Even at 60% rotational speed, you hear the air. Anything at 1000 RPM and below is pretty good. I have mine running now at 560RPM minimum speed, and they are almost silent. From 2' away in a quite room, I cannot hear them at all. Again, you are not hearing blade noise. All I hear is a whoooose of air. The fan themselves are very quite. These are very nice fans.Edit: The fans have no bearing noise and are balance really well. Top line fans. It just that they push so much air, you can hear the air itself passing through the blades and radiator. At 1000RPMs they are pushing as much air as many other 120mm fans at 1500RPMs.CPU TEMP: EDIT: Running P95 on the highest settings for heat, I ran a 81C temp, but I only ran it for around 5 minutes. At HARDOCP people said the new P95 will run any set up hot, and that my temps are really good. Running Cinebench 20, I never got over 66C.DLEDs: Water block and Fans synced perfectly with the motherboard DLED using the BIOS Fusion settings. No problem with software control either.EDIT: 03/25/2020When the LEDS are turned way down to about 30%, the middle letters on the block logo are dim vs the outside letter. I've contacted Enermax about it. (Note: You cannot really see it unless you turn your LEDs down really low.)As usual, the company contacted me in less than 24 hours and said it was normal. They even included pictures of how they tested it and even took the top logo off and took a picture outlining how the LEDs are situated inside the block, showing that they are on each end where the logo goes. The picture they took looks exactly like mine, so all is normal. Outstanding company customer service. When the LEDS are running at 50% or more, it is not noticeable.NOTE: This company is REALLY good at Customer Service. I really appreciate that, and I'll definitely buy their products in the future.I wish they had the fans themselves in 240MM!My recommendation is to control the pump speed at 2200 using voltage control in your BIOS.Using your BIOS or other fan profile, turn the AIO fans down to 550 RPM and leave them there until you need them to start cooling. Then just ramp up the fan speed as needed. During your normal computing day, you won't even hear the air they are moving at 500-600 RPMs. I have all of my case fans and the Enermax fans running at around 550RPMs, and my rig is dead silent. My rig runs around 35-40C when idling. Sure, if I turn the fans up to 900RPMs I can idle around 33-35, but why? 40C is nothing.Conclusion:PROS--Great cooling potential.--The best LED looking fans out there. Bearings and fan blades are totally silent. Good, quality fans.--Maybe the best or nearly the best looking water block?--Comes in ALL white, including hoses.--Unbelievable customer support--Silent pump at anything below 2200-2500RPMsCONS--Fan pushes so much air, you get air noise after 1000RPMs, but it's the sound of air, not the fans.--High picthed pump whine at maximum RPMs (3200) is not noisy, but annoying in a very quite room. After the fans ramp up, you won't hear anything in your case - lol. Look, if you have a little music going and you are playing games or talking on Discord, you won't hear the pump whine at all, even wide open.--Not available in 280mmCONCLUSIONAfter year of owning this AIO, I'm impressed and love it. Great product from ENERMAX!Edit: 02/21/2021 no problems, running nice and silent, and computer is on 18 hours a day.

Was skeptical about AIO's in general, but this one definitely works and was made very well.
Powerful fan. RGB not dull like some reviews mention... you can turn the brightness up and down, as well as the speed of a given effect. Also, you can make the lights themselves brighter or dimmer. Super easy to install w/ included AMD Bracket. You can tell that these are made with extremely high quality components. Radiator stays cool. Product looks and works as intended. Better results over my AMD RGB cooler that came with my 2770X by about 10° cooler than the cpu fan under full load. Installed as rear intake and this works great. The stock racing rainbow RGB effects look great alongside Oloy's RGB Warkawk Ram. I chose not to plug into the 5v RGB header and go the SATA power route for ease of install. I have so many extra SATA 3 connectors unused in my build so it's nice to plug something in to them for a change. You can not hear the pump at all unless you put your ear up to it, but you can hear the fan. It's a clean sound and it sounds like it works to me. Surround sound makes it so I can't hear it anyway when I'm gaming. The fan really moves some air too. I would recommend this product for sure. Spend the extra on the Aquafusion, and don't get the Liqmax III. This thing was only $70 shipped to my door. Can't beat it. Keeping my old CPU fan in case it doesn't last. Will update review if it fails prior to the 3 year mark mentioned in the warranty.

Great cooler, even better customer service
The media could not be loaded. I've never purchased an Enermax product before, but I went with a pretty heavily RGB focused build this most recent time and theirs was the best option for my budget and aesthetic. It was very easy to install, the cooler block itself looks great. I could not get Gigabyte RGB fusion to properly sync with it, but I have a strong suspicion that this is because RGB Fusion is notoriously terrible and has nothing to do with the product quality. Cooler is very efficient - only runs intermittently with stock fan curve on Gigabyte AORUS Elite Z390. Never had a CPU cooler that didn't have to run all the time before. I'm impressed. Thing doesn't kick on until CPU hits 30c, and I'd say it runs about 20 seconds out of every minute with web browsing/watching YouTube type of load. Never saw a temp above 69c while stress testing. Should tell you all you need to know.A small difficulty arose after installation - I heard a loud grinding noise, and a fan blade had broken off of the radiator fan during my first power on. I was heartbroken. Enermax made the decision to send me another fan at no cost after I sent the picture of the broken one, and did not require me to send any components back to them. This is A+ customer service in my book and they've ensured I'll go with them again in the future for whatever cooling needs I have.

Make sure you watch a video the manual is garbage
Soo mad the manual is terrible . Ended up frying my cpu or my motherboard not sure which . Not sure how the cooler is. Put the plate on wrong and fried something been trying to fix it for 8 hours computer won't boot I wanna cry to be honest
