Finished Looks


The solid black design with the LEDs off gives the unit a stealthy appearance until you take a good look at the pump. Still, with the unit being completely black, it sets the stage for the RGB LEDs.


The tangle of wires can be a pain depending on the chassis, but overall, it did not prove to be too big of an issue. I still miss some of the features the competition offers, such as a built-in fan header on the radiator. Such a fan header would make for a much cleaner final appearance.


As with pretty much every closed-loop liquid cooler, clearance is more than adequate. There are no obstructions around the socket to speak of. System memory is not limited by height, nor is the choice of GPU on Mini-ITX systems. The only question will be where to stick the RGB LED strip, which does have an adhesive backing for those wondering.


Overall, the LEDs on the pump look quite nice, and the included LED strip really brightens things up. The inline RGB controller works, but I do prefer the remote offered on the LEPA NEOllusion and Raijintek Orcus 240. Still, it works just fine, and those with a motherboard that supports RGB functionality can bypass the controller anyway.
