Man oh man, this things rules. First AIO unit. Installation took 5 minutes and only required removing the back cover of the case. Everything fit together perfectly on this LGA 1151 (h310m-e R2.0). Thread holes were clean and perfect for the included fan screws on the radiator. The mounting screws pushed snugly into the backplate flush and lined up perfectly for the waterblock. Everything threaded beautifully and looks absolutely gorgeous (pictures coming soon).
Bought a 2080ti for VR flight simming and my poor little stock-cooled 9400f was pegged at 80c trying to keep up in xplane 11 when I started increasing settings. I decided to take the plunge and buy the Captain for a 9900k and m-atx Z390, but while waiting for a new case decided to test the Captain on this i5 processor, with the stock paste it comes with on the copper plate, and try xplane 11 again. Well! Top recorded temp was 49c, which I only saw it spike to once, and average was about 42!!! I'm. blown. away.
Major improvement in performance, as the i5 no longer had to throttle like crazy to maintain 80c. Was able to fly in stormy weather with vsync on at 90hz, 150% SS, 50% reprojection and not a single stutter in a Cessna 172. I could have probably pushed it much further. My 2080ti was also running an average of 8c-12c cooler! I imagine that's thanks to the heat radiator being outside the case (for now) and the stock cpu fan no longer hitting the card with 80c air.
I only have the stock cooler to compare to right now, but 50% under load is huge and I really wasn't expecting that much of a difference. Idle temps drastically improved as well. i5 9400f used to be 36-39 idle with stock cooler. With the captain, it's ambient, AMBIENT at 23c idle and won't break an average of 30 during normal desktop use. Unreal. Judging on its performance thus far, I'd recommend this product to my best friend and family in a single heartbeat.
Will update to report performance with 9900k and some pics when I get the new case.

Pretty affordable / quality AIO. Hopefully others brands will copy!
SO FAR... I have nothing to complain about with this AIO, especially for the price. It has actually been rather impressive.I love the fact that Deep Cool has gone to greater lengths than most to ensure that regardless of performance, the cooler wont have issues leaking.THAT BEING SAID, I have noticed that the only real "fail-point" that I could potentially see, has also been noted by previous reviewers, is the lower hose coupling connected to the block. This coupling has constant pressure with the AMD mounting plate screws. Regardless of orientation and hose layout. I haven't installed this specific cooler with the Intel plates, so I cant speak to it having the same issues when mounting to an Intel layout also.I have included a few pictures of the pressure point. I even went through the lengths of putting a piece of paper in between the hose coupling and the screw, as I was tightening the block down to see what sort of pressure was going on.After the block was tightened all the way down, it was actually pretty difficult to pull the paper out without it ripping, which was slightly concerning to me.Regardless of that. I haven't noticed that coupling bending, warping, or directly impeding the installation or performance.It is however, something to be aware of.It didn't scare me away, specifically because of how awesome the Deep Cool customer support has been known to be. If anything was to happen, I have confidence that Deep Cool would take care of me.Performance was what you could expect from an AIO in this price range. I would say slightly better and vastly more consistent than most air cooling options,but at this price point its at the lower end of the AIO performance rankings.Super satisfied though! Will continue buying Deep Cool products if the quality and pricing stays consistent.And I highly suggest they put the AIO tube couplings horizontally parallel, instead of vertically parallel.For the future. :)

Wow. What a great cooler. Delivery was prompt, and packaging was fully intact, with no signs of shipping damage. Installation was a breeze with the included parts, and the box included mounting screws, 2 RGB fans, a universal backplate for both Intel, AMD, and AM4 sockets, AMD mounting brackets, the cooler, and a couple more accessories. Upon inspection, the radiator feels very sturdy, and the pump head feels solid and durable. One issue: I tried installing it in the NZXT H200. Please note that ITX cases have trouble installing this, as the tubes can be a little bit too long. Instead, I installed it in an H500, and it worked beautifully. Temperatures were at an all-time low for both my Ryzen 5 2600 and my Ryzen 7 2700X, as well as my Core i7 7700K. As I generally do a lot of testing, this cooler impressed me with both style and performance. Note that the pump head does have a glass tube extending from it that is pre-filled, so be careful when installing to not hit or scratch it on anything as you lower the pump head onto the CPU.
Overall, a well built cooler with no leakage issues, a beautiful RGB design, and a great price to match. Great job, Deepcool!
