Hello
Had the chance to install and review one of these so here we go.
Fitting to a slightly older system of I7 4790k on an Asus Z97 pro gamer board already cooled with a Raijintek Themis Direct.
As was before opening, stripping and cleaning.

Assembling the two fans onto the radiator was very simple as was installing the radiator in the case.
Back and front plate carefully installed and ready to fit the CPU block, 2 screws later and it was ready to test power up

I removed 2 drive caddys to allow the pump to be hidden when covers on case.
Cleaned and replaced all the parts removed for access.
Installed RGB unit on top of remaing hardrive and as it wireless nothing shows.

Took total of 90 mins and used 2 screwdrivers, which included a full clean of case, fans ETC.
Really could not have been easier, always wanted to have a go at water-cooling and now these solid state units are available there is no excuse not to.
On existing cooling running prime 95 it used to run about 80 degrees C on stock
Quick test and down to 69 degrees C on stock
Clocked up in bios to 4300 and prime 95 ran about 82 degree C
Obviously early days and I will be keeping a close eye on it, any thing to report and I will add it to this post
Thanks OCUK
Cheers
Dave
