First and foremost no item I buy I will get a five star rating unless it blows my mind. This cooler gets a four-star rating and it is a absolutely solid cooler for $80. I bought it in July 2022...now it's $100 in September 2022.
Short Review:
I've used this AIO for 3 months. It performs well and is a great price to performance bargain at $80...now it's $100. CPU temps dropped 14-17C but GPU temps increased 5-10 C. I would highly recommend this AIO!
The one nitpick thing that doesn’t actually matter is that the AMD mounting brackets are silver in color and very visible. If you have RGB lights they will reflect off of it and I don’t think it looks good. When I replace the thermal paste I will definitely paint these brackets black.
Things to know before I get into the Detailed PC Nerd Review:
1. I am NOT using the included fans! I’m using NZXT AER RGB 2 fans that come with my case.
2. Ambient temps are between 26C-30C.
3. This will NOT fit into an H510/H510 elite case unless you modify the fan bracket by drilling new holes into it. Even then the fitment is tight by pushing the top fan against the bottom of the front case I/O panel housing. You can still see the fans RGB through the glass front panel just fine. Also, I had radiator screws that were about 2 mm longer than the included screws. These definitely came in handy getting this to fit! I bought them at Micro Center. Bonus: the tubing does not interfere with the cable management bar and is long enough to have the radiator tubes down for less noise and longevity of the cooler.
4. I don’t game with this PC. I only stream, record and edit video.
***THE REVIEW FOR PC NERDS**
I upgraded to this cooler from an AMD Wraith Prism cooler. Rendering a one minute video with effects on Davinci resolve brought the CPU (Ryzen 2700X) to 84C and sounded like 5 PS4's with their airplane fans! Lol. With this cooler the CPU never goes above 67C and the fans are pretty quite at 1000 RPM at that temp. Streaming and recording using OBS Studio for 3-4 hours, the CPU went from 71C using the Wraith Prism to 57C with the AIO; with the fans at 600 RPM at this temp.
GPU temps with the Wraith Prism for rendering video were 46C and raised to 52C. Streaming/Recording went from 48C to 58C. Even though I don’t game with this PC I’d estimate GPU temps would probably reach around 75C after a few hours.
Pump noise is very minimal and you’ll probably hear it a bit if you don’t have a headset or speakers playing.
If you have an H510/H510 elite case, just do yourself a favor and get a 240mm AIO from whatever brand you want cuz this will fit no matter what OR if you want to go to 280mm get the NZXT Kraken X63! This will fit (cuz the radiator is smaller than this Deepcool) without any modifications and you can still have the tubes facing down.

Very pleased and looks fabulous on my motherboard keeping that chip nice and cool.
The cooler comes with some thermal paste pre-applied so you wont need to buy additional paste? But if you are a little OCD on things, I'm sure you will replace it with a more premium grade paste.
But overall for the price, how it looks but most importantly how its works I would say this is the cooler for you. 9/10
