  the best cooling I've had so far.

  I was on a Corsaire H100x 240mm mounted with 2 Be quiet silent wings 3 high speed 120mm.
  As a result, where I was at 70° with my 5800X, I went to 60°.
  
  Noise level is quite reasonable, much quieter than the Corsair pump. In my pure base 500 tower with soundproof panels, you can't hear it.
  
  Very simple assembly and very well explained in the instructions supplied.
  
  The only "negative point" was that the pre-applied thermal paste pad seemed really weak, so I removed it quite easily and replaced it with XTM50 corsaire.
  
  Ps: For mounting in pure base 500, impossible to put the radiator in a high position. RAM touches the radiator, and this even in low profile. I therefore mounted it in front with pipe down as recommended on the site Msi to have a better thermal efficiency.

  Imposing

  This watercooling is a bit imposing in size but fitted perfectly into my oversized case. It's fairly easy to fit. The screen is nice if you have a case that allows you to see it, otherwise it's a bit incidental.
  In terms of performance, it's quiet and does its job well. My setup never got above 70°C, no matter what game I was playing.

  Effective, I recommend it

  After a month's use, I'm delighted with this product.
  The pluses :
  - silent even when the fans are running at full speed
  - very efficient, my proc stays within 50° during a game session (goes up to 70° if the game is very, very demanding)
  - the screen lets you quickly check the temperature and speed of the fans if your tower has a glass/transparent side door
  
  The minuses: I'm still trying to find out if any exist
  
  As for installation, it was LDLC who installed it for me, so I don't know how easy it is to do.

  High price.

  Bought to cool an I9 12900KS, the watercoling seems to be too inefficient for this type of processor, the size is much more awkward compared to other watercoling, MSI's software is disastrous (doesn't activate the fans correctly when you set the speed yourself), impossible to update this one, and even reinstalling it sometimes doesn't work anymore...
  
  I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use the system again, but I'm sure I'll be able to.
  
  I don't recommend it at all for an I9 12900ks and for housings with little space.

  Notice MEG Coreliquid S280

  I have been hesitating for a long time to switch to a watercooling kit, but with my upgrade to an I9-12900K it became obvious after reading multiple test forums. The MSI MEG Coreliquid S280 is a good alternative between the S240 and S360 after its commissioning and setting it is very efficient at rest in gamming mode the temperatures of the cores do not exceed 30 °c not to say 26 °c/28 °c and in load they are not higher than 70 °c with of course some effective fans silent quality in aspiration of fresh air and extraction of hot air,
  and this in a restful silence, not to mention its long list of customization.
  I recommend this MSI MEG Coreliquid S280.

  Easy to install

  So far, nothing to complain about, easy to install. Pre-applied thermal paste a plus
  I'm very pleased with the quality of the product.
