Installation
Installation couldn’t have been easier, as be quiet! has done a great job with the mounting kit. There’s a metal backplate, some stand-off screws, and two mounting plates. Simply screw all that in place, then the pump can be screwed down using its pre-fitted screws. Of course, while there was thermal paste included, we used our usual stuff to keep testing fair.
The radiator is snug up in the top of this lovely be quiet! Shadow Base 800 FX PC case, you can read my review of that case here if you fancy it.
Now for the light show, and wow does this cooler look epic! The fins on the pump really break up the light with lots of colour and shadows giving it a reactor-like glow.
The light is a little more uniform in person, but my camera sort of oversaturates the middle, but it really does look very pretty either way.
Of course, with the included hub, I am able to sync the other lights in my be quiet! case with those on the fans and the pump.
