I’m super happy with this AIO cooler. I had three priorities for my cooling, no giant blocks of metal in view (sorry air coolers), very quiet, and looks good. This white Hydro 100i Platinum has exceeded all my expectations though it's not as quiet as I like. The fans do get loud above 60%.
It's important to note that with an overclocked CPU like mine, the stock performance settings will not suffice as they are driven from the coolant temp and not the CPU temp. Even for a non-OC'd CPU you should go into settings and change the controller to run based on CPU instead of coolant. From there, you can set a fan curve that you can tolerate noise wise and keep your CPU well under it's thermal limit.
Before I learned about this, the cooler seemed to be doing very little cooling with my CPU hitting 85 C. Once I went into custom mode, set the controller to CPU temp and put fan speeds to 75% at 70C, my temps no longer exceed 75C. I also set the pump to Extreme and this further reduced temps by 3-5C.
