SilverStone Intros Tundra RGB Series Liquid CPU Coolers
SilverStone today introduced the Tundra RGB series all-in-one liquid CPU coolers, with the TD-02 RGB and the TD-03 RGB. These aren't mere RGB refits of the TD-02 and TD-03, but complete redesigns to the Asetek platform. You now get the swivel fittings that Asetek holds patents on, along with completely redesigned pump-blocks and radiators. The TD-03 RGB features a 120 mm x 120 mm radiator, while the TD-02 RGB comes with 240 mm x 120 mm; both with 32 mm thickness, and a ridged aluminium radiator-fin design that improves heat dissipation. RGB LED lighting extends to not just a company logo on top of the pump-block, but also the included radiator fans. The included fans spin between 600 to 2,200 RPM, take PWM input, push up to 83.7 CFM of air, with a noise output of 15.3 to 34.8 dBA, each. Among the current-generation CPU sockets supported are LGA115x, LGA2066, and AM4.

The biggest issues are as you mentioned, lack of cable management + cable management room, and the 180mm fans being somewhat dated (Noctua 120mm's I'm pretty sure push more).
But the case is so goddamned thermally efficient that it still outperforms most cases, and its one of the only cases where I don't have to deal with GPU sag (which in this era of triple slot monsters is a pretty big deal IMO).
