Read more.

Finally a 360 rad and some nice ML fans "with" the kit (the usual stock ones were ALWAYS crap), lets also hope the pump is not made by Asetek or has been greatly IMPROVED . That retail price ...not going to cut it either .

The pump is made by Asetek - it's a Gen. 6 Asetek design.

All looks on point to me, nothing to get excited about though so I'll move along.

When you can get something like this, off the shelf and ready to go, why bother unless you are into modding?

17 dB lower noise than the last gen, but still 3 dB higher than the S24? Something doesn't add up

Meh... there's so much space for variation in fans, and then you and the interaction with the specific radiator fins...

Yup, it's usually not worth it unless you take on the liquid cooling as a hobby in and of itself. Besides, the cheapest 360 kit you can probably find is EKWB's 360 liquid kit, which goes for £240.

I've seen a review where one of these got absolutely stomped by a Corsair H100. I personally expect way better out of a 3x120mm radiator even if it is quieter.

The show stopper for me is that it doesn't have a waterblock that properly fits my 1900X Threadripper. I like the Corsair products, but I guess I am going to be stuck with Enermax Liqteck coolers for the time being since they are the only ones that fit my cpu properly.
