I'd say avoid it ... RGB u can just control with your mobo software or bootpage.. and temperature is not gonna be smart one.. meaning software won't matter as the cooler does not have any usb connection and the only way it's getting the temperature reading is from a thermocouple attached to the coldpate of the cooler..
The unit I reviewed had these cables as shown in the video.. i believe (pointed to me by a viewer) they have silently released a new version under the same name, which has a usb2.0 cable so that it reads the CPU temps via software. The SATA power cable is just to provide additional power in case your motherboard header is unable to run all the rgb leds in my model
Download and install Asus "AI Suite 3" if it is not already installed on your system.. after you open it, then you'll see "Fan Xpert 4" click that, then it will open a module where u can adjust the fan speed curve to your liking.. If you don't want to install any software.. just load into your bios and go to Q-fan control and adjust it there
Yep should be fine with the 12600k as I did test it with the all core overclocked 5900x.. you would be getting normal temps without any CPU thermal throttling with this cooler
Oh sorry, I really forgot to check specifically that if it works with asus aura, but i believe it does as it did as it will be detected an LED strip at least, so basically will follow whatever argb setting you will set in aura
Ahh.. TDP of 5900x is 105W.. however since I have done an all core overclock the actual CPU package power during testing is 150W.. so kind of an extreme stress test case.. in essence this cooler will handle most CPUs easily.. I wouldn't suggest this cooler or even most other air coolers for the latest high end Ryzen 9 and Intel i9 CPUs
Did you download the software? Half the bad reviews I read said that the display doesn't work and the other half of the reviews said it was too big, I figured the reviewers were dumb. I just got one and the last page of the instruction manual says to download the temp monitoring software.
Well my unit didn't have any usb cable just argb, SATA power, and pwm fan cables (as I shown in my video).. I guess they made a silent revision.. possibly after seeing my review (jk hehe) 😜
@@ronstechreviews hmm, these seem to vary a lot. Mine has the same name but different metal tubing and a solid polished plate that meets the CPU. No wonder the reviews are all over, I read one complaining about the 3 cables(guy had no room) and mine had 4.
It will be fine with a full sized ATX mobo.. but like I mentioned in the video if you have 4 RAM sticks just check out the clearance or that u have low profile RAM sticks. If you are using only 2 RAM sticks then you won't have any issues no matter how tall the RAM sticks are
Since your mobo is only a 2 RAM slot one I believe it will interfere with the RAM sticks.. But if you have low profile RAM sticks then you should be ok
Currently you don't get the latest lga1700 mounting bracket in the box.. and I think they haven't released a separate mounting kit for the 1700 either.. so if u want to use for the LGA1700 (12th+ Gen Intel) then go for the ones that have the kit inside the box.. or atleast the ones that they sell (mostly for free) mounting kit separately
The led(argb) 3 pin cable .. that will go to your motherboard's argb header.. your motherboard's argb software would be already installed on your Windows if not, download it from the website of your motherboard's manufacturer.
