- Strengths:
- Very easy to install
- Weaknesses:
- Very loud
- Summary:
- I am on my 2nd one in a week and this one is going back... These sound awful... Great to start with but the noise after they have been running for a few hours... Yikes, 1st one was changed after the service department agreed that the noise was bad and there must be air in the closed loop system, Installed the next one in the shop sounded good but after a few hours of Battlefield3 its the same if not worse... At least they have a few of them so I may find a good one yet....
Excellent

- Strengths:
- Quieter than the A70 fan I had. A great deal for the sale price. Very easy to install.
- Weaknesses:
- Instructions are lame if you have never installed a cooler before.
The case will get a bit warmer inside to help with this install a fan blowing air out of your case.
- Summary:
- There is a video that can be watched on the Corsair site to help with installation.

- Strengths:
- Liquid cooling temperatures are remaining from 19-26 on idle
Easy to install i have an AMD cpu so i got quite confused at first
Good quality
really quiet
- Weaknesses:
- Can't think of one there is one that the radiator is pretty big so on my Antec 1200 i couldn't set it up on the back top fan because the screws wouldn't match up because the radiators to big to fit to the top so i had to setup the fan on the one below that which isn't that big of a nuisance its still same results but hard fit if you don't have space.
- Summary:
- Some people are saying design flaws like screw isn't well aligned, and the the component didn't come with enough water, etc... but honestly that's all covered by the warranty everything is suppose to be easy to install... everything is suppose to fit in place i did not find any design flaws... i think this is well worth 70$ because temperatures are freaking good for 70$ and its lighter then most of the aftermarket cpu coolers,
Great upgrade

- Strengths:
- More silent than most cpu fan/heatsink I have had.
Much less bulky on the actual motherboard
Easy to install
Good for the money
Cooling is great, I have had no issues and I overclocked by 33%
- Weaknesses:
- None
- Summary:
- I read the other reviews and I am sure that if one had rust on it, an exchange was due...
If you pass the screws through the radiator that isn't installed properly, as mine did not install throw the radiator at all.
Great performance and great unit... I am happy with my purchase...
I have had mine for over 1 year.
Works Great!

- Strengths:
- Good reliable cooling
Well made
- Weaknesses:
- Awkward in smaller cases
- Summary:
- Performance is better with an intake, also if you have a very hot processor be sure to strap on a secondary fan or upgrade to one of the higher models.
Much better construction and mounting system than previous models. I forget what company made these before Corair bought them but since moving to Corsair these coolers have gotten a lot better.
Absolutely happy

- Strengths:
- Cheap
Quiet
Simple Install
BUY IT!
- Weaknesses:
- does not come with a free sticker
- Summary:
- AMD Phenom II x4 955 stock 3.2 with stock heat sink overclocked to 3.6 full load was 62 degrees
same chip with h60 overclocked to 3.9 would not go over 50 degrees.
Idle temp 24.8 degrees. before that 32
Very happy.
Good cooling performance, poor quality product.

- Strengths:
- Small form factor compared to fan based coolers.
Relatively low noise.
- Weaknesses:
- Poor quality built.
Very poor documentation.
- Summary:
- The unit i tested installed fast on the CPU but the radiator could not be attached to the fan simply because the screw had to penetrate into the radiator and two of the four screws came loose. So the radiator ended up dangling at the back of my case. this is definitely a design flaw.
Documentation was awful. For example, it leave you to guess which of the two fan connectors should connect to the CPU head and which one to the chassis.
Meh

- Strengths:
- Liquid cooling on a budget, easy to install.
- Weaknesses:
- The cooling, didn't matter which way I pointed the rad fan, my Arctic Cooler freezer 7 did a better job, on average 5 degrees cooler then this unit on an I7 920. Do your self a favor and save yourself over half the cash and go with the arctic cooler.Could of used better detailed instructions, I looked it up and did things that were not suggested in the manual on Corsairs website and still achieved the same results after 2 hours.
- Summary:
- May provide better cooling with different chip/case combination's, but it didn't work for me. I had it in a Cooler Master CM2 case with 6 case fans and an EVGA GTX 570.
Poor quality

- Strengths:
- Low profile
Easy to install
Light and is much better than massive heavy wads of metal hanging off your motherboard blocking ram slots and blocking the view.
- Weaknesses:
- Unit I tested had chipping paint and rust on the rad..yet rust. When you secure the rad and fan to the case the bolts will penetrate and damage the rad fins and may spring a leak. The same problem is on the H70 and I bet Antec Kooler. The pump is not silent and honestly just does not sound high quality. All 4 fan thread holes on the rad were not straight. Hoses are to stiff.
- Summary:
- If this thing was sold for $25 or less it would be almost ok. As it is it's just cheaply made and over priced like most of these all in one CPU coolers
