3.0 out of 5 starsDifficult Installation

The cooler is great in performance, the Huge heat sink keeps low temperature without fan Throttling. The aesthetics looks awesome.
However, the installation process is quite difficult.
First of all the space to screw in the mounting is too tight and needs a lot small rotations.
The LED for two fans connect on one wire which then connects to the RGB controller, these connects are very loose and need delicacy. I had to rewire them at the very end because a very slight force would undo the wires. this caused me to have the RGB Wire hanging causing a ugly look to the cable Management.
TIPS FOR INSTALLATION:
1. Make sure that your heat sinks for RAM are not too high as there is very little space when installing this cooler.
2. you will need a molex connector for the RGB controller.
3. the RGB on the fans is not customizable with the software. also the RGB controller doesn't come with a infrared remote so you will have to open the case from the back to change the LED effect. SO always keep the RGB controller on top of other wires. ( this wasn't mentioned in the Manual and i had to require the whole system to make a decent place for the controller).
The RGB controller doesn't have a magnetic/ sticky back so its hanging, and the RGB Controller ports are a bit loose so make sure to support the Molex wire with one of the bigger chunks of your cable management to reduce the tension on the wire.
