I threw this in my wife's work computer it's a Corsair 5000d with a b650 aorus elite ax V2, 7600x and it contacts the top power phase heat sinks. Will not fit in top position in a push exhaust config. You could run fans outside of case and radiator inside. I ran it side exhaust and didn't like the air flow. So I did reverse flow front exhaust and top/back intake. CPU running at 28c idle temps are very solid under load for a stock voltage 7600x 85-90c. The wiring is nice only have to run a single fan wire from the pump head for the pump, rad fans and the heat sink fan it also some with a single wire to control all 3 if desired. Overall happy with the performance I also had a deepcool lt720 on this CPU at one point it's now on a 7800x3d but the arctic does cool it a couple degrees better.

I recently installed this to my i9-14900k built PC and all I can say is its amazing cooler. Thick 38mm radiator with good fans. It also comes with its own LGA 1700 thermal plate contact frame!!! For the price they offer!! It's a CONSUMER friendly price, NONE of the PRICE GOUGING on some other brands.

In stock form it runs out of the box, install and forget. It also has a built in Fan to cool down the VRMs, and mosfets of the motherboard.

The Intel i9-14900k however is a power hungry CPU and in terms of thermal, heats pretty fast at 100c in 0.5 seconds on full load, so in stock boost mode from the MSI BIOS without undervolting, it was throttling down and the cooler was unable to keep up in cooling down, however after fine tuning the BIOS and doing proper undervolt of the CPU, it has eliminated thermal throttle and temps was now hovering around 76-88c on Cinebench 23, getting a score of 41233. This was when L1 and L2 settings were at 288w. At 253w L1 and L2 settings I was getting a score of 39k to 40133 score.

One thing I'm going to do now is upgrade the stock P12 fans to the P12 MAX and I'm sure there will be more improvements to it.

Overall though I'm very happy with this AIO 360 kit from Arctic. It is packaged very well and a great price as well for the performance (38mm RAD!!!) Most brands should follow this path. No Liquid cooler today can offer an EXTRA fan for the VRM's and their own Thermal Contact plate..only Arctic does. ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Just installed today after my nzxt x73 just stopped circulating the water. already rma'd that thing once before as well.

Installing this with the included mx-6 paste has my 5950x running at less than 60c on a full multicore cinebench run @ 3.8-3.9ghz all core, and around 68c on single threaded cinebench. These are both with reasonable curves set for the fans and pump, erring on the side of it being quiet. I'm sure it would be even better at with a more aggressive curve.

This is the first time I've seen my processor hit 4.9ghz on a single core since I got it in 2021, and that's without undervolting.

I have never had temps this reasonable, I honestly chocked it up to the 5950x just being hot.

I think the offset mounting really makes a difference, and the vrm cooler is a nice touch.

My only complaint is that it is a little bit tricky to mount by yourself. It's very easy to push the backplate off when adding the bracket, and the spring tensioned two screw design isn't the simplest, but I did get it on without making a mess of the paste.

The pump is essentially inaudible at 50% speed, and the fans at full speed are so much quieter than my x73 was. They do hit a lower peak rpm, but they are clearly moving the heat through the rad, which is also like twice as thick as the x73. I do sort of miss having a coolant temp reading, but hey, the less software the better.

Runs silently with great cooling performance and a stealthy look. Feels premium. Relatively easy to install. Idle temps for a i9-14900k are around 28-30C. At full load those temps can rise to 80-85C. Overall very happy with the purchase.

Well made unit that is near silent . A must really on intel i9's gen 12 and up . Ive tried the best double stack air coolers I could find and they are simply inadequate . This 360mm unit keeps a i9 gen 12 cpu from throttling from the tests I've done using Cinebench case is ANTEC P101 SILENT . Good case that can hold up to 8 HDD'S if you want , or remove the mounting hardware and have a huge open case with a 360mm radiator up front .It's turning out to be a good combination . It's even possible to have 8 HDD's AND a 360mm radiator up front .....but I doubt you could do it with ARTIC's very thick radiator . A 360mm from another vender fine but I imagine having all those HDD's in the way would reduce cooling . There's mounting hardware on opposite side of motherboard for 2 SATA SSD's .
I would buy another no problem
