Hold the phones! What's this, a cooler that actually could be a winner. Come on NZXT TTL needs to show us the money shot.

Much want. Already got too many of the corsair 110 though. If this performs better it will be an insta buy either way though. Would have been great if there was options for thicker radiators though

I could see my H100 going in my sons PC

Nice looking cooler this

 

[Doomslayer]

PASS cause it looks like an asetek :lol:

Costs a lot. For about $60 more you could probably get a full custom CPU loop.

But thats the whole point of AIOs. No fuss. Just Plug'n'Play

Looks really nice. RGB done right.

 

[NeverBackDown]

For enthusiast it's worth it

Wow, Now this looks damn good, Shame the radiator is a little bland looking though, They could have taken some design ideas from the different coloured strips on the side of Corsairs rads.

I like this plain rad design more tbh. I just feel like it looks more mature. Like it doesn't need to show off the shiny, it knows it's the best already. Guess we will see how performance is to see if I'm right!

Well I don't mean anything like massive amounts of bling or anything or even any branding but a squared off rad IMO would look much more professional and cleaner.

Example on the Corsair and EK rads -

EK yes and I do like the corsair strips, but I agree they look really nice as they are. If they were blinged out then everyone would be mad as saying they're tacky.

I think they look very elegant and understated. Mature would be the word lol - look at how everyone is hating on MSI atm when their last effort (Quicksilver 1070) isn't bad at all.

Again I'm not talking about any bling, Just having the rad squared off as it looks very clean and professional.

100% agree on the squared shroud.

Not really a big difference between the edges with the h100 AIO. And you'd be hard pressed to notice it when it's mounted too. I wouldn't even compare it to an EK, that's in a league of it's own!

It's a personal taste thing as I always mount my fans in pull so I can clearly see the radiator through my sidewindow hence I personally prefer a squared off rad to something with round corners.

 

[Doomslayer]

Meh still looks ugly to me nothing compares to the EK AIO cooler.

 

[Kushiro]

Each to thier own I guess. The EKs to me seem a bit more messy if you get what I mean. Not talking about cabling needed.
