I'm having a tough time letting go of my custom loop - and since I have a watercooled GPU that's yet another reason why I haven't gone AIO yet, but ngl, these are looking more and more enticing.

I already have the older 420mm none ARGB version which is great and have always been concerned with the size of the VRM fam (tiny fans die sooner). This PC hasnt seen much use but I plan on making my gaming machine my new 24/7 PC for security as well as gaming. I wonder if the new 60mm upgrade to this fan applies to the none ARGB coolers as well? (also the radiator width upgrade) Having said that, the 35 to 40% discount is magic. Even though I wont have anything to fit it to for many months, I might get the RGB version now to be safe!

great job Krzysztof this is a real winner for those using Intel cpu's. most aio don't have a contact frame so (if you're smart) you have to buy one if you don't want a warped mobo. very thoughtful

I grabbed the new 360mm off amazon on launch day for £66!! Crazy price, I haven't even installed it yet lol. That price was just insane. I think the radiator is the same exact thickness as the previous generation, and yes the 60mm vrm fan is also on the non rpg version which is what I have. There is now two cables to choose from. 1 is just a 4pin PWM connector which controls everything from 1 header (pump, vrm fan, and fans) or you choose another cable which splits into 3 4pin PWM connectors (1 for vrm fan, 1 for fans, and 1 for pump). Only downside is that where it connects to the CPU block the connection is proprietary 🙁 I haven't got round to installing it yet, I currently have the EKWB Nucleous 360 non RGB and its great but thinking of using it in my second PC and the new Arctic in my main rig.

the Arctic fans are good, but not great i've modded many Liquid Freezers (always the non rgb ones) with fans matching the rest of the rig, esp. in Phantek cases as they usually have an argb hub and their fans (like Lian Li's) interlock and daisy chain. for the more modest builds who want a uniform lighting scheme i go with the Thermalright argb fans as you literally have to spend 3x to get as good a fan ($15 for 3) and that's just one fan. when modded the Arctic outperforms the aio's with the same fans - like the Lian Li, Phanteks, Be Quiet!, Corsair etc - and it's still less money with the added expense of fan swapping

Arctic fans are great for the price but I did switch mine out for some noctuas. EKWB fans on my Nucleous are good too, but the 140mm variants are absolute trash. Anything over 1000rpm is far too loud, and max 2000rpm is a joke.

I didnt bother changing the 3x 140mm fans with the 420mm rad, the performance is so good it doesnt matter, they dont need to run full tilt and noise is pretty good 🙂 BUT, my PC is in the open on the lower shelf of an open table (placed on a cardboard mat to protect the mobo underside and shelf surface), hidden by a cloth that hangs halfway down from the tables top surface. The radiator (and wires exiting the PC, covered by a rug) is at the rear of the table so it can only be seen when walking round the other side of the table. The rad size doesnt matter here, even bigger would be nice 🙂

Great review. I just bought one - non RGB version because I am currently on treatment from RMA (RGB madness addiction). What I like: - performance for the money - easy to install and with the fans already mounted on the radiator - the fact that you can choose how to monitor your rpm for pump,fans and VRM/ Memory fan - separately or together through the provided splitter - the VRM/memory fan is easily replaceable in case of a failure - you don't need to remove the AIO What I found a little on the meh side: - the mesh on the hoses has some irregularities near the pump - doesn't look nice - the hoses are quite stiff -maybe too stiff - the fans can be quite noisy - nothing you can't fix using a well thought fan curve or another fans Not necessarily a bad thing but you need to take in consideration - if you are a fan of top radiator mounting like me - the thickness of the radiator that is bigger vs standard radiators usually sold in AIO's - so be aware of the space that you case have between the top ceiling and the motherboard tray. Other than that I am surprised about the performance that this marvel gives for the amount of money I spent.
