The nightmare
Is this product already out of stock? RIP. I really feel sorry for anyone who's been tempted by this.
If there's one product I wouldn't recommend, it's this one. It's this one
Visually, there's nothing to complain about. It looks great. Cables, fan, radiator, pump. The finish is top-notch. It has everything to please. On the other hand, it's a real little monster despite its cute appearance.
Installing the pump is a torture. I felt like I was fighting a demon during installation.
I had the good idea of watching a few videos to try and remedy the problem. And I saw the video presentation and installation of the product by the manufacturers themselves. And... It's rubbish. Despite what the video shows, it's not really true. Especially when you see the comments complaining about the problem of installing the pump on the same video.
There was a comment that gave a tip to facilitate the installation of the pump, although not necessarily obvious too. But before I'd seen that tip I'd spent half my tube of thermal paste (I can't thank you enough, clever).

I've got another problem with it. And this time it's with the radiator.
It's not a standard 360 like the others. The radiator is much larger than other Watercooling 360s. As a result. I'm unable to close the top cage because the radiator is far too high. So you'll tell me that this is more down to the tower and my lack of vigilance in choosing compatible components. Except that the specifications for the towers do not indicate the height/width of the radiators. Since normally their sizes have standards.
I'm really disappointed with this product. Especially as it was my first choice because the radiator I wanted was out of stock. So I chose it because the prices were pretty much the same.
