2021 Model with Excellent Thermals
The previous models are good and the ICEFLOW is no exception. In fact - the first thing I noticed was the mirrored finish on the header (CPU end) - and there are softer RGB colors with this model (bonus). Currently - I have this cooling a i7-11700k with slight overclock:Temperatures:>Ambient room temperature (76 F / 24 C) - and I managed to keep a 5.2 GHz overclock down below (65 C); I was seeing around 58 C without the overclock. BTW - I personally disable hyperthreading on INTEL 8-core and below if I'm using it for gaming. Hyperthreading will show higher temps - no thank you INTEL.So my rig has excellent air-flow - and my room temp is higher than normal - and this cooler handles beautifullyPros:> the package arrived fast and not damaged> all the hardware (INTEL 1200, 2066 config, AMD) was in the box - always keep the extras for the next build; so I have a collection. I didn't have to call a civil engineer to rig this - the backplate and standoffs were a perfect fit> the radiator and fans were a perfect mount (top to bottom, left to right) in my Corsair 540 case> thermal management is whatever you make it (manual, BIOS controlled, or install your own fans 120 x 120mm)> the price and build quality is an excellent value for the money> soft RGB lights and mirrored finish is a plusCons.> pump motor can be heard in a quiet room at startup (what's new right?) That's what the headphones are for...* The pump is a hybrid design - and I think this company has a promising future in thermal design (IMHO) * The noise is minimal db> more of a personal gripe - but where the h... is the 360mm model of this beautiful rigHope this helps....

Great Product
I was a little sceptical about this brand but everything went perfectly. I combined this with a generic aRGB controller and everything is perfectly in sync. The lighting matches my higher end cooler master fans and it runs quiet as can be. I never hear the pump even when playing heavy games like warzone. Set it up with the lines down if you're side mounting. Recommend 10/10

Pump in Radiator is a stupid idea
These were good until they went with the stupid integrated pump into the radiator... Can't be mount on top because it will choke the pump and makes insanely loud noises. The only way to use this aio is mount it vertically and tubing at the bottom. ID Cooling need to stop this dumb trend (pump in rad). Or at least makes it right.

Noisy Fan - Problem Solved!
**UPDATE** Seller offered to replace the fan unit so I upgraded to 5 stars for quality product, attractive design, and good customer service. SPECIAL NOTE: Regarding pump noise, the radiator has an integrated coolant pump which requires it to be lower than the CPU. I tried several different radiator positions in order to reduce pump noise. BE ADVISED: The pump is located directly behind one of the hose attachments. If you hold the radiator in a vertical position, with the hoses at top facing you, the pump is located behind the RIGHT SIDE hose. Be sure to place that hose lower than the CPU to minimize air bubbles zipping through the pump and causing noise. This will also maximize pump lifespan.**END UPDATE**Installation went smoothly although the wiring instructions lack clarity. Wires are not labeled. Apparently, I got a lemon. One of the fans makes a loud, rattling sound. The other fan works fine but since this is a single housing that contains 2 fans, replacing a single fan is not possible. I contacted the seller and I have received no response. 2 days and counting... If I receive a replacement fan that works, I'll upgrade my rating for good customer service.My advice is to connect power to the fan unit for testing prior to installing the entire system. If asked to return the entire CPU cooler system, it'll be a messy and time consuming job with no access to a working computer.The thermal paste was just barely enough for an AMD CPU. Other than these issues, the colors are beautiful and it appears to do a good job at cooling. My CPU temperature has not exceeded 47C while normal browsing and office work. I'm not a gamer so I can't say how well it works while under stress.

Doesn’t top mount pump is in rad
Great looking nice fans nice everything but they don’t tell you that you can’t top mount it

Great value cooler with a flaw.
Cooler was great for the value, no issues installing, and no issues with temps.However, my particular unit had a small flaw. The ID cooling logo is underneath a flimsy plastic cover, my cover was peeled up already and I could not get it to go back down as the sticky foam had little to no adhesive.I took off the cover and the cooler has a very obvious lip of where it goes. A bit of a shame but besides aesthetics, temps and ease of use were great.

Good Cooling System
I am pleased with the system although my mobo had a 4 pin rgb instead of a 3 pin so I had to buy an adapter which was on me. The cpu cooler did come with a scratch on it that I’m not too happy about.I’d return it but it’s honestly a hassle for both the seller and me. I’d appreciate a credit so I could buy more ID cooling fans

An overdue savior to my CPU
I was thermal throttling quite badly before moving my components to a new case and installing this. Haven't seen any core go over 53C since. Radiator was bigger than I expected and I needed an extra hand mounting it to the top of my case and the CPU mounting got a bit stubborn on me at one point (brackets slide onto the contact and rotate clockwise to lock, so placing it on the CPU has to keep the direction of even light torque in mind) but once in place, everything was solid. RGB is a different proprietary from the Corsair case, but I got them to do their own thing fine despite the age of my Board, the next upgrade .
