I don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong, but it seems to me that the fan speed control doesn't work like it did with my previous cooler (Be Quiet Silent Loop 2). I have 8 fans connected to the hub and it goes to the CPU FAN board and it just runs quiet all the time, I'm not complaining but the temperatures are unnecessarily higher, under load it could work with higher noise.
Extremely easy installation
Quiet
Automatic pump speed control
Water temperature display
For me 2x140mm fans - performance
Extra warranty
Applied paste
For me probably USB cable to the board, I prefer direct speed control via BIOS

There are two types of AIO coolers - those that are connected via USB like this one (and need software from the manufacturer to work fully) and then those that use control from the motherboard (like my previous Endorfy Navis F280), each has its pros and cons. This one is easy to set up, there is nothing to do in the BIOS (it only reports the pump speed to the motherboard, nothing else the motherboard does), everything is done via NZXT CAM, which works fine for me, but I don't know how it would be on Linux. I had this Endorphs before and there was a problem of not being able to see anywhere how much water temperature it has. I'll leave 4* for now and see how it behaves in a year.
Speed control according to water temperature
The display that shows the water temperature
Solid fans
NZXT CAM is so far stable, user friendly, better than I remember iCue from Corsair
Cools the Ryzen 5900X with 160W TDP to a maximum temperature of 75 degrees without any major noise
Warranty 6 years
Need to install NZXT CAM software
It takes a long time for the bubbles to calm down after installation and the pump to seal
