I had to pause the video to write this comment before continuing it. I really appreciate the question/answer parts in the beginning of your videos. It's great to not have to look for answers elsewhere when watching your content. Keep it up!

I recently purchased this over the X53 Kraken. Saved so much money. Trust me, I was torn between on what to get! Super Quiet!!!

[juandilla]

I love how U already answered our questions before starting, Thanks for not wasting our time

[areeb]

I like how he already answers all the questions a viewer/buyer would have. Truly admirable. <3

After 23 years in IT and building my own systems this my first AIO, so despite having an idea of how to set this up it was handy to have the vid as a reference whilst getting it installed. Thanks.

Hey man just wanted to say thanks for the video - I have built plenty of PC's prior but never one with an am4 board so this video was quick and easy to follow. You even used the same cooler I picked out so many thanks.

Fr dude THANK YOU i have spent hours looking for ONE vid to help me and this had everything im about to cry omfg

[afkdyz]

remember to align the arrow with the 12v pin when connecting the RGB to the motherboard.

[pickles]

the amount i appreciate you going through every possible question I could and wanted to ask is immense. thanks so much man

Content out of this world I subbed. Don’t change your video style

[FallenHydraa]

Bro the time, the explantions, the video editing at the end... <3 Thank you for answering all my questions! Fantastic video :)

They are fan headers for different types of fans (different purposes)

CPU_FAN - This header is for the main/only CPU/heatsink fan, the BIOS will (or at least should) refuse to let the system boot if a fan is not detected, preventing the CPU from overheating and damaging itself
CPU_OPT - This header serves the same purpose as CPU_FAN, the only difference is not having a fan connected to this header will not prevent the system from booting, some heatsinks may come with two fans, or may have clips on both sides where a second fan can be connected for a “push-pull” configuration (one fan pushes cool air into the fins, another fan pulls hot air out), it can also be used in liquid cooling where the pump is connected to the fan header, the pump would connect to CPU_FAN and the radiator fans would connect to CPU_OPT, the idea is as long as the pump can keep the liquid flowing, even if the fans were disconnected or failed, some cooling can still be achieved, if the pump was disconnected or failed, the liquid would remain stagnant and the hot liquid would not make it’s way to the radiator to be cooled, as well as the cool liquid would remain in the radiator and can’t make it’s way to the CPU to serve it’s purpose, therefore not cooling the CPU, even if the fans were sill running properly, CPU_OPT can warn you if there’s a problem, but it won’t shut down the system or prevent booting like CPU_FAN will when it detects a problem
SYS_FAN - This is for a case fan or “overall system” fan, this brings fresh air into the case or blows warm stagnant air out of the case, keeping airflow
Just like CPU_OPT, not having a fan connected to the SYS_FAN header will not prevent the system from booting, but it can warn you if there is a problem with the fan
If these are 4 pin fan headers, the motherboard, and in turn the BIOS and the OS, can control the speed of the fans, so in theory, you could connect the case fan (or one of the case fans) to CPU_OPT with no issue, but a case fan connected to the CPU_OPT header will ramp up in speed when the CPU gets hot just like the CPU/heatsink fan connected to the CPU_FAN header will, and will slow down when the CPU is adequately cooled, while the fan connected to the SYS_FAN header will run independently to CPU temps, either taking its cue from a different thermal sensor or by some software based control based on the BIOS and/or the OS (and on the OS side, either the OS or some third party software)

I’m getting this cooler tomorrow, I’ve never installed an AIO before and I’ve been using a stock cooler for about a year, but I’m not nervous about it because I know I have this video to guide me through it, I love how clear and in depth it goes about the installation and especially the question and answer section that everyone seems to love. Thank you for this

This video is amazing. The angles, explanation & everything. Thank you from a first time builder!

[BudgingAcorn]

After 2 months of changing my motherboard I came back to your video and I fixed my rgb problem so thanks for that extra bit you added in

[yeetles]

This video is a great tutorial and does a great job at answering the most common questions, but I really want to emphasize the importance of the orientation of your AIO. Front mounting the AIO is perfectly fine, but MAKE SURE THE RADIATOR IS AT THE HIGHEST POINT ABOVE THE PUMP AND THAT THE TUBES ARE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR. Almost every front mounted AIO that I've seen in advertisements has the tubes on the top of the radiator above the pump. If you do this, air bubbles will form and transfer to the pump, which will increase temperatures and create excessive noise. If you cannot put the tubes on the bottom because it's being blocked by a PSU shroud, mount the AIO on the top of the case.

I'm new to building PC's and I was so lost trying to install this. Your video helped me a ton, thanks man!

[SirDaffyD]

Good instuctional video guys.
I have the first version of this AIO, and I'm more than happy with it.
Mines set up on a R5 3600, on a B450 AORUS ELITE m/b. Works a treat, and never goes over 62c. Mines also front mounted.

[christiaanvanduijn]

I trew away my clips (the black clips where you mount the cooler.) bought new ones and used this video how to install. Thank you so much for this clear video showing how.
