ID-COOLING FROSTFLOW X 240 CPU Water Cooler AIO Cooler 240mm CPU Liquid Cooler White LED 2x120mm PWM Fans, Intel 1700/1200/115X, AMD AM5/AM4

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!

Great performance & aesthetics (for the price), TERRIBLE installation
I replaced my EK Basic 240mm AIO with this cooler because of the aesthetics primarily, but it was also one of the least expensive options at the time that checked all the boxes I was looking for.The Good:-It comes out of the box with an LGA1700 bracket, which some $150+ AIOs STILL do not come with. This alone was amazing, as the EK one required a separate, $7 bracket to work.-Looks fantastic. Was a little skeptical about the LEDs and logos due to the price point, but they look very premium and everything feels pretty much like the higher end AIOs do.-Performance is SHOCKINGLY good. Paired with a i5-12600KF, running Cinebench for 20 mins never caused it to go above 60c. In games like Fortnite and Overwatch, this remains true, despite being in a tiny ITX case with a glass side panel on one side. Since it doesn’t get terribly hot, I never found the included LED fans to be too loud, which wasn’t true with the EK AIO.The Bad:-The mounting system in this is absolutely atrocious. It feels EXTREMELY outdated and took an extra person to install it. There is a bracket that twists onto the pump block, which is actually super nice, however, the back plate and pump block HAVE to be mounted at the SAME TIME, unlike the EK AIO where the back plate is mounted first, then the pump is mounted on with some screws. This is incredibly annoying because you essentially have to have one hand holding the backplate onto the back of the motherboard while you line up the pump block with the screws, and then screw it all down. It is simply a mess and could EASILY be made better by making a back plate that mounts to the motherboard first.-My radiator came looking a little beat up (picture included). Didn’t really notice anything like this on the EK AIO, but it might be because this one is painted white. Not a huge problem, but worries me a bit about the longevity of this product. Also the radiator seems a bit more bulky than the EK AIO, so it may give you issues if installing it in a small ITX case (I have very little room between the fans and motherboard in mine).Overall, great introductory AIO for a mid-tier processor.1 YR UPDATE:Still running strong! Running Cinebench for 10 minutes (CPU pegged at 100% usage) and temps never go above 60C. Very impressed by this budget friendly cooler. The light on the pump is kind of annoying though, it seems to brighten and dim with temperature change/pump speed. Wish there was a software interface for it to disable that, but the cheaper price makes up for it.

Look good and product feel quality when got out of the box

There’s a reason all the top tech youtubers have recommended this thing, it is wicked! Looks and build quality both great, and it’s keeping my cpu about 12c cooler than a dual fan 120mm air tower could. Will definitely buy another for my next project.
