I purchased this with no experience custom loop water cooling a machine before, I have been into custom PC building for some years and have used closed loop water cooling before though. I have watched multiple build guides online for custom loops and had a good idea on the process and what not and what to do. I reccoment to anyone looking to get this as a first time loop build to do lots of research first on the process as that will help. Due to not using other loops before I cant give info on its performance but I can say it has been installed and running for a month now with no issues or leaks. The weak points in terms of performance for this loop are the fans I found so I replaced them with two Noctua static pressure PWN fans instead. This improved the air flow a good amount and dropped my temps somewhat. The other bad point as mentioned many times previously is the pump being a constant 12V, this can be adjusted via adjusting one of the molex connectors to output either 7 or 5V instead (you can find out how easily via guides online). I would recommend looking at either a PWN pump or the 7V mod if you plan to run this pump long term due to the noice and wear and tear on it. Considering this was my first loop I actually found it very easy to work with, the soft tubing was easy to cut to the required length and I had more than enough left over in a standard ATX Case. I used this on an i5 4670K and managed to get a stable 4.2GHz but my chip is not a great OCer, I did manage to achive this on a Hyper 212 Evo also but with slightly higher temps and much more temp spiking. One thing to note is the mounting mechanism is a little confusing and did not provide instructions, I am still not sure if I mounted it correct but it works and is applying enough pressure/contact so if it works it works. Just be careful as it is easy to apply too much pressure with this method and could easily cause damage to the chip if not careful.
