Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Refillable, expandable loop - add GPU blocks or swap tubing instead of replacing the unit
  • ✓ Full copper radiator, not the aluminum fin stack used by most sealed 240mm AIOs

Cons

  • ✗ Refill and expansion capability only pays off if you plan to service the loop
  • ✗ Pump-on-block layout puts the noise source on the CPU rather than at the radiator
  • ✗ Listing does not state socket compatibility or warranty - confirm both before buying
