Phanteks CPU Water Block RGB LED Solid Mounting Bracket Chrome Edition Cooling (PH-C350I_CR01)

Under 50c on my AMD 3900x cpu and msi motherboard while gaming. Fits well on my x470 MSI gaming motherboard. Got it on a sales dip, perfectly happy.

I was attempting to install this water block on my Asus ROG Maximus Z790 HERO motherboard, and the mounting bracket isn't one compatible with the 13th Gen CPU motherboards (LGA 1700/Raptor Lake). Only works with previous-gen motherboards.

First off the pictures do not really show how nice this block actually looks. the fins are fairly large in comparison to my EK Supremacy, but look about the same size as my Thermaltake block. Haven't fully installed yet, but at this price This thing has surpassed my expectations. I will update as the build progresses, but initial impressions are very good.

Box was old and damaged, but the product seemed ok. Did not fit my 1700 series so I sent it back. Didn’t list compatibility on the listing.Amazon returned with zero headache. Amazon is the undisputed leader in e commerce. Won’t shop anywhere else. Thx Amazon

Pretty straight-forward design like all modern AM4 water blocks utilizing micro channels and a restricter/"velocity" plate. Problem is the base is extremely concave. I was having strange cooling issues. Took a razor blade to the base and it was pretty bad. You can tell by the lapping pictures it took my wearing through a lot of material before the base was completely flat.The block also had some weird anomaly. It's like they either soldered in some thin shim, or they nickel plated, then copper plated, and then finally nickel plated again. I don't see how something like this makes it through ANY QC process.The mounting system leaves a LOT to be desired. One "nut" had the threads messed up and made threading in the bolt very difficult. Honestly, for the price, this mounting system is a joke.I'm still using it, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I use it in conjunction with an old school EK motherboard block. Phanteks has old school EK quality updated to modern aesthetics. Block is symmetrical, and ports appear to be direction-agnostic . It will accept large fittings.The cold plate is rather large. With an eye to modding, this can likely be adapted to 7nm chip applications, which have increased package sizes relative to AM4, AM3+ and below. There should be enough cold plate here to mate to those integrated heat spreaders.Overall really cool unit (lol). I debated long and hard about Raystorm, Heatkiller, Eisblock options with budget, flow restriction, aesthetic, and thermal performance in mind. Runner up was the Raystorm base model , which has enormous budget value.

It indeed has a good potential for overclocking. And easily installed, looks pretty good with other rigs.But the only problem is that led is not strong enough for led lights for getting out through the tempered glass.And yeah I know it's because of the magnetic thingy on the front, and you can remove it easily. But it kinda put me down after I put everything together and Sync it with my board.But overall, It perfectly sync with my Asus motherboard and performs well. So I'll give it a four star.

I just wanted to give a shout out to Phantek's customer service. I accidentally ordered the Intel instead of the AMD/AM4 version. I sent their support team an e-mail and they helped me get just the adapter bracket. $12 I think.In any event, really nice to have actual support for PC accessories these day. I appreciate it.

Got to say Block looks stunning but, box looks like it had been dumped in a corner for years. All reviews I have read saying how well presented it looks, Well? (see pictures). Over all not impressed, will be keeping it to finish my PC build. But very disappointing packaging looks used to me. To add to this two days later and I just found one screw cracked can't install.

Looks good and great value for an RGB water block

Das Produkt sieht toll aus und kann beliebig eingesetzt werden da es keine jetplate hat soll heisen woher der Druck der Pumpe kommt ist egal und daher einen geringen innenwiderstand aber nun zum negativenDas Produkt ist eher ein Prototyp als ein ausgereiftes in Vergleich zu anderen CPU Blöcken. Aufgrund der Form steht das Acrylglas unter Oberflächenspannung das Temps um die 60 Grad mit den Anpressdruck der Fittinge ausreichen das dass Glas Risse bekommt um folglich undicht wird. Das Temperatur überhaupt so hoch sind liegt daran das es der schlechteste Customblock in Punkt kühlleistung ist den es von namenhaften Herstellern gibt nach nicht al 6 Monaten hat das Teil ne fehlspannung am MB verursacht weil es Saft durch Risse verloren hat zum Glück kein großer Schaden.Optisch jaTechnisch ungenügendRgb Header nur mit phanteks Gehäusen oder Controller kompatibel

Un monoblock muy muy bonito pero desafortunadamente el separador no es compatible con el tornillo sujetador, diferentes medidas, piezas incluidas en el propio monobloque de enfriamiento, me imagino una falla del maquilador, imposible de armar según instructivo.

Started out well but then 3 months later, I noticed a BUNCH of cracks on the block. How is this even possible?? I have a pressure relief adapter on my reservoir so there is no pressure build up in the loop, even when the water heats up. Nothing else in the system has cracks, only the CPU block. Very disappointed in the quality!
