The cooler is almost like every other standard tower cooler with very simple mounting and connectivity. For me, I used this on an AM4 Ryzen system, and it only required me to do 2-3 steps before it was mounted and ready to go! The ARGB Fan was a simple setup too, it had a provided 3pin 5v cable with an additional output for daisy chaining other ARGB devices. However, in my case, I just connected it to the included fan hub mounted in the back of the case for multi-fan sync throughout the entire case!
The performance speaks for itself when broken down within the tech specification category. The 5 heat pipes connected to the cold plate, along with the 120mm fan keep your chip nice and cool at this uber cheap price range! The interior hydraulic bearing is a beast pulling tons of air through the heatsink itself with the 800 - 1700 ±10% RPM output on the fan. For more budget CPUs drawing around 120W TDP, this cooler is perfect. An overall great price to performance and elegant look to spice your computer up!
