so this is EKWB latest AIO first this comes well packaged nicely organized looks and feels high quality. instruction manual is easy to understand and pictures are clear. fans are daisy chain and wires are easy to work with. pump noise is almost silent fans same depending how you set the fan speed i have them low rpms don't need this running so fast. you will have to manually setup a fan curve for the fans and also the pump so in my motherboard i have the pwm cable for the fans on cpu fan header and the pump on my fan pump header easy to control.rgb also is connected to my motherboard also easy to control.im cooling a Ryzen 7 5800x and running Cinebenchr23 with my fan curve highest temp is 84c after running the test 3 times so very happy.so now i guess since this AIO's are brand new quality control have not found this issue yet but threads on the AIO are not well threaded to mount the fans i had two holes that required force to get the screws to mount and to install it on top of my case the small screws also had same issue had to get the screws started to make it thread to the AIO. again since this is the latest from EK I'm sure they will catch this quality issue but that's it I'm very happy with this AIO nice and quite installation on AM4 is easy and keeps my cpu cool that's all I need so worth the price.

Only time will tell for reliability, but initial impressions of this cooler are quite good. The pump is very quiet even when running at 100%. It is noticeably quieter than my old H150i RGB Pro 360 AIO. It is also able to keep my 13900k nice and cool without being overly noisy. I would like to see a water temp sensor implemented as I prefer to do fan curves on water temp rather than CPU temp, but luckily this cooler does a great job at lower RPMs, so you are able to set a fairly relaxed PWM curve on the CPU temperatures to keep noise levels down the majority of the time. It comes with pre-applied thermal paste as well as an additional tube of paste, which is a nice touch.The fans, assuming they stand the test of time, are very good and operate quietly at lower RPMs and audible but tolerable at higher RPMS. The RGB on them can get very bright and it seems to be able to produce white better than my previous Corsair LL120 fans that had more of a blueish tint when you set them to white. The daisy chain system is very easy to use. It isn't quite as elegant as some other implementations, but it gets the job done. I would like to see this evolved to be more integrated into the fans and ditch the wires, but it is definitely not a deal breaker.All in all this is a great cooler with only a few very minor things that I would improve upon. It is too early to comment on reliability, but assuming that is up to par, this cooler is easy to recommend.
