Affordable AIO That Gets The Job Done
I was looking to upgrade from my basic AMD CPU fan cooler, and I've always wanted to switch from fan to liquid cooling. AIOs can be extremely expensive though, but after some research, I stumbled on ID-Cooling's AIO. This thing will get the job done at a great price. The installation is relatively easy, even as a beginning PC person, but I do recommend watching some installation videos as well. At times things were unclear, but other videos helped me get everything up and running.Once installed, the AIO looks extremely sleek but simple. The noise level, at this time, is completely silent outside of the initial movement of water upon first turning on my PC. The cooler does a great job at keeping my CPU (mid 30s to upper 40s celsius) at good temperatures, even while multitasking/during light games. I definitely recommend the white if you want some contrast in a black case as well.The only con: as others comment on, bolting in this AIO can be tricky to say the least. While the screws will fit/screw into your case (most likely), it may take a minute. A potential reason could be the size of the system, but the screws also seem a little weird (if you ask me). I do recommend double checking that you have the space to prevent the cables from getting bent or having some weird layout. Overall, great AIO if you don't need anything crazy and care about RGB!

Does the job
It's perfectly compatible with my case and CPU the lighting it's good for the price point, functionality is perfect it keeps my CPU cool enough, It's very easy to install if you just follow the instructions, The size is just as advertised and is very easy to mount

CHEAP AND GREAT!
Super cheap and surprisingly very good quality and it keeps my cpu temperature very low and also the noise level nothing at all the installation is quite simple and easy

Solid AIO for the price
I bought this to replace my nearly decade-old iCUE H110, and I immediately saw a temperature drop of over 10°C. While the instructions were a bit confusing—especially not realizing it uses the stock AMD mount—installation was otherwise straightforward. The cooler feels solid and well-built, and the noise level is impressively low compared to my previous AIOs. Overall, a great upgrade with noticeable performance and acoustic improvements.

Great for the price.
You get what you pay for, however for me it was quite amazing, I had a AMD stock cooler that came with my CPU when I bought it (AMD RYZEN 5 5600X), The price of this cooler does it amazing justice. it's good for small cases, just not too small, it comes with mounting for AMD and INTEL sockets, the instructions are not entirely clear as they are mostly Russian (I can speak Russian, so it was fine for me), but it was straight forward enough as long as you went with it. As you'd expect from a A.I.O you will need a CPU fan header, (Or a pump header) but after you should be good, no it's not RGB yes it is only white L.E.Ds, looks good in an all-white gaming setup, it's quite strong actually it didn't feel cheap and felt really good in my hands, it keeps my CPU around 30C unlike that cooler fan... 70 idle.. which isn't horrible, but to be honest the month before that it was actually only idling at 60 so it was getting worse as time went on.Now to the point, should you buy this?Well... depends what you have in your PC, just because your computer isn't fully up to date on new cards and CPUs doesn't mean you have to buy a new CPU fan/AIO.However, if your PC is beginning to really overheat then maybe it would be good to get something better or even an AIO. now you're asking to get to the point about this one.Yes, in my opinion this is a great option! BUT it comes with downsides, for one. Yeah, it's an AIO, but I personally don't think it could handle up to date technology like I9 13900k or anything too much lower than that, could it keep it running at a decent idle temp, sure... just do your research and work with the size of your case.A.I.O must be handled with care and understand that you know what you are doing to install it correctly, sometimes it could not benefit you and you could lose a ram area as well using one.For this A.I.O It was small enough for a full 4 stick access... (Barely) as I don't use RGB ram sticks and use normal server type gaming ones, they are kept small with heatsinks on them that are small enough to work so I was happy I didn't have to buy anything smaller. so, no fret over it, just be careful of your ram size or if you have 2 sticks instead of 4 like I do (I have 64GB of ram) you should have no issue whatsoever, on another note.For this size, build, cooling, price and the way it looks, yes, it is worth buying, it's not like NZXT or like Artic cooling or some of the top brands, however for most situations it is a great choice.Now here is the main info.* It does not feel like it was built cheap* Great packaging!* Comes with Intel and AMD support* The instructions are half Russian so just be aware and use some common sense and understand what it shows you.* They include a warranty I believe... Though not 100% sure I sort of forgot!* No, I don't think it will work well with a small ITX or Micro-ATX motherboard, but you won't know until you try.* Fans included (Run about 1500 - 2000 RPM at max)Here are some cons to this.Like I said, it may not fit well with a small ITX or Micro-ATX motherboard case! be aware of that!It is only 2 fan AIO making it 240.It can keep your CPU cooled really well, just try not to force it into your case as it may not fit well with Ram sticks and may not be a good option, again I do not know about newer CPUs!!!...it is sort of hard to install as is with all AIO fans... so just be aware of that too.Overall, I give it a 4.8/5 only because of the installation instructions and actually putting it in the computer were hard to get, it was easier cause I knew Russian but not everyone does which is why I must put it at 4.8/5, Producers of this product, if you are reading my Review, please make a full detailed instruction guide for English and Russian, That would be appreciated for all newer people to installing a A.I.O, Thank you for your time reading this, I hope it helped.Feel free to check out my Twitch (Givemesolace) I stream literally all the time! hope you will stop by. Have a great day thank you.And thank you for allowing me to make a detailed review ID-COOLING Appreciate it.

FCLGA2011-3 Modified for Xeon on Supermicro X10SRi-F
I bought two of these for xeon 2699v3 / 2699v4 thinking LGA 2011, which this product supports, would work for FCLGA2011-3. There is a slight difference in the mount of these sockets. I ended up dremmeling out one of the brackets a tad bit and mounting the screw standoffs straight to the motherboard, as this socket does not have holes from the back. Surprisingly after a bit of modification the bracket fits on top of the screw standoffs and it works really well. The 2699v4 server runs proxmox and after stress testing for 10 straight minutes the CPU doesn't want to even go over 41c. The 2699v3 however is running windows and runs a bit hotter, likely due to an old NZXT case that has poor circulation and only a few fans. Funny enough these xeons, paired with a 3060, can run AAA rated games with ease. So if anyone else is crazy enough to try this product with a FCLGA2011-3 socket type, just wanted to say it is possible with modifying one of the brackets. The bracket that nearly fits needs to be cut out a bit more towards the outer edge and it will fit. From loud server builds to liquid cooled quiet monsters. Good product and excellent price.

Great AIO
My first AIO. Upgraded from a standard fan cooler with large heatsink and heat pipes. It did well, but this has lowered my CPU temps by 10-15° C while gaming. It's quiet under load and definitely keeps the case cooler. Hopefully it lasts the claimed 50,000 hours. Would definitely recommend over an air cooler.
