Corsair CW-9060053-WW Hydro RGB H100 All-In-One 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler

I'm very happy with selecting the Corsair Hydro RGB H100 AIO 240MM Liquid CPU Cooler for my build. It looks very good in my setup and the RGB lighting is a visually pleaser for anyone pc build. Lights up the case nicely and fans work really well on the radiator to cool down your CPU, which does the job really well.

I first bought a Cooler Master AIO but it arrived DOA and it was RMA'd and I "upgraded" to this product. I have a Ryzen 7 2700 and the stock Wraith Spire that came with it. Temps on the Wraith were about 40C idle and about 50C on load with games. Replacing the Wraith Spire with the Corsair Hydro RGB H100 was fairly straight forward. Remember to remove any air cooler by removing it soon after running the PC so that the thermal paste is easy to twist the air cooler off. The Corsair has standoffs that attach to the CPU backplate easily and then placing the Corsair cooler block is straightforward and then there are spring loaded screws that tighten the cooler block to the standoffs. The main issue I had was the RGB cables from the fans and the cooler block. They connect to a custom 3 splitter cable that leads to one 3 pin rgb connector. Unfortunately, my MSI X470 Gaming Plus motherboard only has 4 pin RGB headers. Apparently the Corsair RGB cable is a 5V ARGB connector and the motherboard has 12V 4pin RGB headers, so they're not compatible. I'll need to buy another product to connect them, as per https://youtu.be/2LTeGUsu0uc - I don't need RGB so it's not the end of the world for me.
