Every AIO cooler starts off with reviews that sound almost identical to this line, with only very minor changes in wording, maybe a 5900 vs 5950, etc. Sure flag that this is self-promotion.
Many also complain that it doesn't cool very well.
If you're actually trying to cool a 5800, 5900x or 5950x, you should look to buy a powerful, quiet, well-reviewed, well-supported and popular cpu cooler, preferably something with a 360mm radiator if your case can handle it.

So I replaced the the Coolermaster AIO with the Arctic Cooling one (which is miles better even comparing new to new) and threw the Coolermaster one in the trash. I suppose I could have RMAed the thing, but I wouldn't put a refurbed or even new variety of one of these in my PCs ever again, and I don't have any enemies currently in need of an AIO cooler.

You don't even need 280 AIO for a 5900X, let alone 360. I had Arctic LF II 240 on another 5900X build, with PBO Power Limit set to mobo, still well below throttles under Cinebench multicore (75F-ish room temp, Lian Li Lancool II Mesh)
After all 5950x only draws 140w if set to PBO Auto (aka all default). A Noctua D15 can borderline handle that load even with Zen3's sub-optimal heat dissipation.
This isn't top of the line AIO but it also only costs around half of those. With the savings you can just get two Arctic P14s. The pump noise often is associated with pump/rad placement, and I'd take NE average reviewers with a big grain of salt.
