I have a 7700K and have been using a Hyper 212 Evo for the last 2 years. My CPU and GPU always ran at no more than 67C while gaming. Over the past few months my CPU started getting as high as 80C. I decided to delid and add this cooler. I am currently overclocked at 5.0Ghz at 1.330 volts and my idle temps are around 28 to 30C and my highest spikes while gaming are at 68C.
The product seems to be good quality. It was pretty easy to install. I have a Corsair 780T case so I was able to mount the fans directly under the mesh cover at the top of the case. I mounted the radiator under the metal frame below the fans. I was able to use the supplied screws to go through the fans, through the metal frame and into the radiator. The fans are in a pull/exhaust configuration out the top of the case.
The instruction sheet is terrible. The one I received looked nothing like the instructions I pulled up online. One side was for Intel and the other side was for AMD. According to the picture it told me I should be using the backplate that was more of an oblong shape. It did not match up to the water block at all, not even close. I emailed Thermaltake asking about this. To this day they have not even bothered to respond to my inquiry! I disregarded their inadequate instructions and went off a youtube video instead. I should deduct a star for this but the cooler works really well so I won't.
This does not have any RGB lighting at all. I looked at the other models that have lighting but they all require plugging in a cable to a USB port on the motherboard. I don't have an extra one so when I saw this model of cooler I liked that it was straightforward with just the plugs for the fans and the pump.
I have read many ways to make these connections for proper operation. I ended up plugging in the fans (with the included 3 way splitter) to the CPU fan header. I plugged in the pump to the AIO pump header. The AIO pump header will supply full power to the pump so it runs at maximum speed all the time. Apparently monitoring software will only report half the actual pump rpm so you have to multiply by 2. Mine reads around 1750 which means I am getting 3500 rpm which is within the rated speed. I am controlling the fan speeds through BIOS and set a custom curve. The fans run at a minimum of 40% and ramp up to 100% at 75C. They never spin much higher than the 40% while gaming and I am surprised this works so well with the fans at such a low speed. I did turn them up to around 75% speed to see how loud they would be and they are very loud. If you need to run the fans at a high rpm to keep your system cool you might not like the amount of fan noise.
The hose were long enough to reach the top of my case with room to spare. I do worry about springing a leak which would destroy my 1080ti but that is a risk everyone takes when using water cooling. The pump is silent. I can't hear it at all. I can feel a vibration when I touch the hoses. You can definitely feel the heat being exhausted through the top of the case. I also noticed my GPU runs a little bit cooler since the heat from the CPU is now being exhausted out of the case instead of the Hyper 212 Evo blowing hot air around inside the case.
I did notice the fan cfm rating is in the 90's. Other coolers from different manufacturer's rated the cfm at less than 50.
Overall if you are ok with no RGB lighting and have the room for a 360mm radiator this is a good choice. It got excellent reviews from the few you can find online.

Awesome CPU Water Cooler Device for less than other brands!
So far so good! There were other reviews saying negative things about this cooler due to it being damaged in shipping... I guess there was an issue with Thermaltake's shipping procedure and has since been fixed because mine came functional without any issues or leaks!Attach the 3 fans the way you prefer first to the Radiator (I did it so the fans blow exhaust out thru the Radiator to the outside) either an exhaust formation or an intake formation etc...The directions are "ok" but I really wish they gave you more info... however you just need to sit down with the parts and directions and read thru it all to understand what it wants you to do... you basically are removing your motherboard plate / CPU attachment that came with your board... Installing the one provided (in this case my AM4 Processor version - sorry I do not know if Intel install is any different) you setup the bracket behind the board with the long screws thru but only 1 way that locks the bottom of each screw into the bracket so it cannot move or twist... then add in the little rubber grommets and slide them all the way down until they can't go anymore... the bracket "should" be locked now if u just leave it alone and stationary due to the grommets holding the screws from falling out and the notch the screws end lined up with that makes the screws unable to twist at all... you then click the other plate into the Thermaltake Cooler / Motor square piece and place it in the correct orientation over the screws so they go thru this plate and the cooler presses on to your cpu... (remember to remove any plastic from the cold plate b4 u press it into your CPU or you'll overheat) With the supplied Thermal paste apply it to the CPU b4 pressing the cooler on... then once together start each of the 4 top screws on the 4 protruding screws just to get them started like 5 turns on each... then u wanna screw each head down of the 4 going in a criss cross Form slowly and evenly until all 4 are no longer loose... check it out on the side to make sure the upper plate looks flat cuz u don't want to over tighten the screws or the plate will start to flex and deform... all 4 should be nice and tight by hand but gently..... u can then mount the Radiator unit with the fans however you like as long as you don't place the motor/cpu above the top of the radiator or you'll get bubbles... just make sure the Radiator top is at or above your cpu/cooler motor and you'll be good to go!I wish the directions told u all this better but anyway the cooler and motor have kept my CPU nice and cool both at idle and while benchmarking / gaming so far... I was worried it wouldn't keep up due to its low price tag however it performs just as well as the expensive brand water cooling AIO's from what I've experienced??Definitely recommend it to those that want a cheaper AIO cooler and if your matching your ARGB with the rest of your case in which I did here! Very happy with it so far after 2 months of use!
