Product description

The cooler is designed for use with the latest range of Intel Sandy Bridge-E processors which use Socket LGA2011 motherboards, but they are also compatible with most recent Intel boards, namely LGA1155, LGA1156 and LGA1366.

The cooling system consists of a CPU block (which also houses the pump) connected to a 120mm aluminium-fin radiator, along with a 120mm blue LED fan. The liquid is preinstalled and fully enclosed so no pouring or maintenance is required at all. Power is provided to the pump and fan via a 4-pin PWM connector which can be connected to either a motherboard header or any standard fan controller.

So far, so good

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

I purchased this CPU cooler to use on a recent build. I used a Fractal Design Define R4 Cases, Black Pearl (FD-CA-DEF-R4-BL) case. I'm running an Intel Core i7 3770K CPU, which is an LGA 1155 socket CPU. Despite the other reviews on here and elsewhere claiming the installation would be a nightmare, I actually found it to be quite simple. I used the, admittedly somewhat cryptic, instructions that were included. Once you make sense of the pictograms used in the installation manual, installing this thing is a piece of cake. It took me about 30 minutes to install, and most of that time was me checking and double-checking that I had everything situated correctly.

As for performance, I have no complaints. I'm averaging around 90ºF at idle. I'm not an overclocker, so my system is running at stock speeds. The pump and fan are very quiet, and unnoticeable from 2 feet away.

If you're not into the bling-bling thing like me, then you'll be happy to know there is a switch to disable the blue LED on the fan.

Overall, I've been very pleased with the Intel liquid cooler. It has provided me with good performance, while doing so quietly, which was my main goal. The longevity of this thing remains to be seen, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't disappoint.

EIGHTIES' KID!

Dead Silent Thermal Solution

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

After mounting excitement about building a silent and inexpensive Z77 desktop, I thoroughly researched this Intel all in one liquid cooling. I must admit I am very impressed, and my unit was purchased from Amazon like new. First, after pulling it out of the worn yet original box, I noticed some accumulated dust around the pump (no big issue with me and my can of compressed air). After a little tidying, I closely inspected the cooler and was greatly satisfied with my $37 investment. Now comes the timely install; I perused through the provided manual and noticed that it wasn't that horrible as mentioned by previous reviewers. You see, one should immediately go to youtube and study the install video for this cooler with it's explicit and detailed easy instructions. The only real problem with installing is seating the pump to the motherboard; after 30mins of attempting to screw and maintain its position, I kept fumbling and the pump refused to stay put. After all that, I came away triumphantly frustrated. Oh but wait, there's more. THIS BABY IS TOTALLY WORTH THE AGONIZINGLY LONG INSTALL because it outperforms Corsair's original H60 that I have on my kid sister's desktop. I can hear the fan blowing loudly on hers always. I think Intel's partnership with Asutek is much more beneficial that Corsairs. I now have the most silent PC I've ever built (this makes my 10th). Granted I have a Fractal Design R4, however before I finally sealed the case; I hardly noticed any noise from this this cooler. My final statement to you is don't pass up this little gem especially if you can get your hands on a Amazon Warehouse used deal.

Wow! We're 20C cooler compared to stock Intel CPU fan

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2012

Verified Purchase

The build:

Asus P8Z77-V ATX board
Intel i5-3570K overclocked to about 4.18 Ghz
Gigabyte mid-tower (sorry, don't know the model number)
Using on-board iGPU graphics
Two fans on the radiator in a push-pull config

First off, after reading the reviews here I noticed somebody has an Asus P8Z77 board and claimed the capacitors around the periphery of the CPU were in the way of the mounting base for the pump (topside of the board.) I'm not sure exactly what model Asus board he has, but I encountered no such clearance issues.

As other have mentioned, installation took a little thought and the pictograms in the little instruction booklet leave something to be desired, however, if you take it slowly and think the install through, it really isn't that difficult.

The primary install issue I had was the Intel radiator was smack dab against the 500 watt Ocz power supply and it was not going to fit against the chassis. I thought I was in deep doo-doo and couldn't make the cooler fit in the Gigabyte case but fortunately I discovered that the radiator would barely fit if I installed it on top of the existing chassis fan. I then installed the included Intel fan on the inboard side of the radiator so I now have a push-pull installation.

The Intel fan/pump plugs into the CPU fan header and I plugged the other radiator fan into the CPU optional fan header.

Performance:

With the stock Intel CPU fan: When applying a special effect to two minutes of HD video in Corel VideoStudio 4, my CPU temperature hit 70C several times. With the Intel Thermal Solution the *highest* I saw the CPU temp spike to was 50C - a full 20C cooler. Wow. Usually the CPU temps would run around 48C while processing the video. I never noticed my idle temperature with the old fan but we now idle around 32C with the inboard fan running at 880 RPM and the outboard fan at 1200 RPM.

Other thoughts:

The fan and the pump are extremely quiet in normal operation. When my Asus fan utility (FAN Expert II) spun the inboard radiator fan to full speed (to learn its upper and lower RPM range,) it was pretty loud but I doubt it will ever run that fast.

So far I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and recommend it to others.

Great For Overclocking

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2012

Highly Recomend This for overclocking your pc.

when i had my stock cpu cooler. overclocked the cpu from 2.80 ghz to 2.93 ghz (50-60c temps)
using this cooler. with my cpu overclocked from 2.80ghz-3.3ghz (34c-40c temps)most i have seen is 44c
i even used a tester that basicly puts load on the cpu to test how much it can take cooling wise
it did not even hit 70c i think it was 66c but in reality no pc will go under that much load at once.
unless the cpu is faulty.
as the tester used is designed to test the full whack.

running games on ultra graphics i hit 38c-40c sometimes 44c

flight simulator latest version
Sims (all)
World of Warcraft patch 5.0.4
Roller coaster tycoon 3

gran theft auto Andreas
Skyrim
Star wars the old republic

Now the only probblem i can say i had with this cooler is the installation
force had to be applied to get the screws in. and if you have a in-win 136 case. i had to remove 3 fans
to get it in. which done me a favour to be honest. as i still have 4 fans in total (including) the cpu fan.
that is attached to the rad apart from that it worked great. and i said it once and ill say it again.
i highly recomend if your planning to overclock

Perfect for cooling your CPU

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

Bought this liquid cooling kit to cool my CPU as the normal fan out of the CPU box doesn't really help. After installing the device I noticed a significant drop in temperature and it actually helped in performance. Worth the purchase and strongly recommend.

Quality is really good and the sound isn't loud so it's perfect. I have no complaints and the delivery was rapid. Thank you so much.

Worked like a charm Nice Blue hue to the cooler where for years it has had a bland casing.Having used others similar to this in builds this one has one of the nicest tubes from the rad to the pump with others i've had to wrestle it into the case.Good temps when gaming too with quietness as standard.Worth it.

Two man job ( LGA2011 cpu )

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2012

I had to sandwich the fan between radiator and case to get it to fit in my case (Thermaltake Overseer RX-I ),due to the motherboard used (Asus Sabertooth X79),this method was not shown in the video [...] but I read that it was o/k to fit that way, on another site.I also thought it best to have somebody else hold the radiator/fan whilst fitting the cooling assembly/bracket to the motherboard.

Awesome

Pretty much did just as it said on the tin. Fairly easy to install, if a little fiddly, but helped by having a rather large case (the Fractal Define R4). Looks smart and keeps things nice and cool
