For what it's worth, the Vetroo V5 is going for $25 on Amazon. It's less bulky and favored by the YouTube community in recent months.

My favorite review of this cooler was that they suspect Corsair bought a bulk order on Wish.com and rebranded them with how cheap and inefficient this thing is.

Looking in Amazon. How is that considered good with all that space between where pipes make contact with the cpu? My understanding is that flat and flush is best.

That reminds me of my original h100, it took 7years for the pump to fail and sounded like that. The A500 is a direct contact, so surface contact to cpu isn't even but it does the job well.

Regardless of price, do not buy this. Various techtubers have done tests with this and found that it is significantly less effective than the majority of coolers out there.

You can say that until you try out one of the new Corsair Capellix AIO's and find out that the pump is hardware limited to run at a minimum of 2300 rpms and sounds like a dentist's drill.

Vetroo V5 is good and comes with two pairs of mount pin so you can attach two fans (push and pull). But the fan is loud even at a low RPM. I replaced the fan and it works well.
