Designed for synchronization with ASUS Aura Sync, ASRock RGB LED, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, and MSI Mystic Light Sync. The UX100 supports motherboards that feature a 5V addressable RGB header, allowing you to control the lights directly.

One of the LEDs, after a year, does not light up red and its neighbor sometimes gets stuck on a certain color while the others change normally. The cooling is average. The noise is fine. It's better to get a more powerful one for cooling with a bit more money.
Aesthetics: A fairly nice system for those who want this orientation of placement or have small width cases.
Temperatures: For processors up to 65W, I consider it satisfactory. On an AMD R5 3600 without overclocking, it raises temperatures but not excessively with 24/7 use (Summer 2021). It is important for the case to have good airflow for temperature dissipation.
Noise: It can be heard when the system raises temperatures, but it is not bothersome.
Reliability: Currently, it works as promised, time will tell.
Practicality: It also comes with a sachet of thermal paste, although I preferred a tried and tested solution for my implementation. You will only need an equal long thin screwdriver*.
*Tip: To make installation (AM4) easier on the existing male plastic "hooks," use a screwdriver to push the female hooks through the fan blades. The manual doesn't mention it, and it is harder to do from the side.
I haven't had it for even 3 months and suddenly the fan stopped working.... I turned it a bit with my finger, shook it up and down, and everything is fine for now... It will show how long it will last.
Good little cooler, I couldn't manage to connect the RGB (it works on its own without being able to adjust it) .. for a 20 bucks it's fine, it's just difficult to install!
In an old system, I installed it on an i5 6500. Very good for the first week. It sounds a bit louder but it's nice. I have an issue that this cooler is a bit bulky and the rear exhaust fan doesn't fit in the end, but overall I am satisfied. Now, for Ryzen which comes with decent coolers in the box, I don't think I would bother.
The worst thing ever, guys stay away from it with the 10600k. I reached 114°C where at 115 it all burns to ashes. It doesn't easily handle temperature paste. The worst thing, stay away, don't let it burn anything
It cools well, but I have 4 120 fans and it didn't make any noise at all. This one sounds like I have 10 fans running at full speed. It is good in terms of quality, but very noisy
