The fans of this liquid cooler are pre-installed, saving users a few minutes during the installation process.
A quick-connect system for the PWM and ARGB connections is utilized to minimize cable clutter.
The display is the last feature I’m mentioning, because it isn’t very interesting. In terms of size, it’s the smallest display I’ve ever seen incorporated onto a liquid cooler – only 1.48 inches. That’s more petite than the screen of an Apple watch! The resolution is also very low, merely 240×240 pixels – so low that even on a 1.48-inch screen, the pixels are easy to distinguish.
Forget about something fancy like HDR! Color support is limited to only 18-bit color depth and 262K colors. That’s something I’d expect from displays from decades ago, not anything made in 2025. Lighting is officially rated at 300 nits, but it feels less bright – which might be a side effect of having a much brighter ARGB lighting ring around the display.
There are nine visual presets you can choose from – or you can create your own theme using pictures, gifs, or video files. There’s also a variety of widgets you can use in custom themes for time, weather, date, or sysmon stats.

Prior to following the steps below, you’ll want to secure the radiator to your PC’s case.
1. AMD users will remove the default mounting mechanism and then place the included black and silver standoffs around the CPU.
2. Take the mounting brackets and place them on top of the standoffs, using the included screws to secure the brackets.
3. Press the CPU block with its integrated screen against the mounting bars, and use a screwdriver to secure it.
4. Connect the cables – there’s a PWM header for the liquid pump and the AIO’s fans, ARGB connections for the fans and CPU block, and a USB header connection for the 1.48-inch display.
5. Download the FX LCD Series software from ID-Cooling , and don’t forget to remove the protective peel cover from the CPU block.
My results may differ from others because I emphasize having results that are comparable to real-world use.
This means that I test CPU coolers inside of a closed desktop case, which increases cooling difficulty compared to other testing methods. Many will test CPU coolers outside of a case, on an open test bench. Open benches have lowered ambient temperatures, which in turn makes weak coolers appear stronger than they really are. Some publications have used generic thermal plates to test cooling solutions. I reject both of these methods because they don’t accurately reflect the real-world conditions a CPU cooler is used in.
Today’s test bench has more limited results than normal, as our 9950X3D system has suffered an unfortunate death – as such, we’ve begun to test coolers on a system with AMD’s 9950X.
There are some differences in how the 9950X and 9950X3D CPUs are impacted by thermal events. While the heat output of the CCDs of AMD’s 9950X3D are relatively balanced, the 9950X I’m using has one CCD that runs much hotter than the other – with a difference of over 10 degrees C in some scenarios, shown below.
