DeepCool MAELSTROM 120K Slimline AIO Liquid CPU Cooler

This cooler is great for lower end cpus. I have a ryzen 3 1200 OC at 3.8Mhz and keeps temperatures at 40-45 degrees, Which is fairly decent for the price. I wouldnt buy this if i have a Ryzen/Intel 7 cpu as temperatures would be too high. Saying that however, I do have the stock fan on the radiator. Installation was great and easy to do but had to remove the mobo due to case i have. The only problem i had was that it says its AM4 ready but had to order separate.

the fixing kit would not fit my mother board, so I had to mod it and use tie wraps to fit the heatsink, the fan fitted ok, but the universal fixing kit is not universal, the old fan was worn-out and noisy and gave me a reading of 65 degrees across the cores with no load, now its 45 degrees across the cores so ok apart from being held together with tie wrapsPS after and hour test with all 4 cores at 100%, max temp reached by all cores was 57 degrees, so happy

So this is actually my third budget cooler in the space of a fortnight, all for the same build.First one I bought was the coolermaster (£40ish) and for some reason amazon sent out a used one, so I RMA and got a refund.2nd one I elected for the h45 corsair (£45) and having watched lots of youtube reviews I had my hopes up for it. The temps were good sitting idle at about 26 (on an fx8350) but then one day (less than a week after getting it) the pump stopped working. There was this weird noise mid overwatch. No beeps or anything (i believe the coolermaster beeps on an error) and I hastily shut the PC down and checked the lines and they were pretty warm to the touch. Temps in bios were up in the 70s so I didnt dare boot to windows. Once again RMA.Looking for a third option I happened across this one, and its actually been even better temps wise than the corsair! Idles are as low as 18 and 19 and gameplay temps are rarely cracking 30.Could not be happier. Even getting my friend one and if im doing a build in the future I will buy again.I picked up the bottom end one with the black fan for £35 and now the one with the red fan is £40. I havent found the fan on the 35 to be particularly noisy although its a small case so im used to being able to hear my fans under load.

The item came in almost used condition, the zip baggies of like the mounts and stuff were everywhere and not slotted into a single compartment in the cardboard despite having one, one of the bags was open with parts everywhereHose had a fine white dust on some parts, the plastic cover to cover the applied thermal paste just falls off so there was thermal paste dobs on multiple partsAlso came without the AM4 bracket, so, I've got no idea what to think

This is a great product at a fantastic price. I had been looking to install an AIO cooler for some time, and the choice of AIO's is vast and so are the prices. I had seen that this had good reviews so I was at a loss as to buy a more well known brand and pay more or take a punt at this one, and I am very happy that I went for the DeepCool option. This is a well built unit, easy to install, and it not only does it's job well, but it looks great also. My cpu temps are right down around 15C at idle and 45C under load, and the fact that there is very little noise coming from the fan and pump makes it even better.If you are on abit of a tight budget then this is for you. Great unit at a great price and it has a 3 year warranty.

I installed this cooler on an Asus Crosshair V Formula - z motherboard with a fx8350.Instructions not very clear. Had to mount sideways (instructions say not to) because I couldn't find another way to make it fit without the pipes getting in the way. Took around 3 hours to install it, however, performance is pretty good. Although I can hear bubbles going through the pump and every so often I can hear a big rush of water and what sounds like bits inside. Asked around on a Facebook group and they said to let it run for a few hours and it should fix itself however it shows no sign of getting better. Because of this its a lot louder than my old air cooler!Temperature wise it's very good! I get 42C idle and 60C Max with a 4.6GHz overclock on 1.4V!!

Keeps my amd nice and cool. Can't rate how effective it works under massive load as I've yet to overclock cpu. Got this as the price is brilliant and I just want everything to look nicer inside case. The light on the pump bit is white and fades in and out but isn't too bright that it ruins the effect of other colours. Comes with thin layer of thermal paste applied which I have left on and temps never go over 26 and I play AAA games

woudnt fit in the case i wanted it for but intend to save for a project in the future.
