Received 7/16/2021

Okay while it did take a while to receive for me the wait wasn't that big of a deal except for the stage 7 original email to day it shipped was kind of long.

Getting it into house solo wasn't that hard. Putting the ram I purchased into case was simple, the most annoying thing (cause of my motherboard choice) is they put the m.2 slots under the bottom Video card slot(they put the motherboard upside down). The quick disconnects were easy to disconnect and taking the video card was slightly annoying but got it done. They prewire all those hard drive cages so putting in my old ssd's into them was just push my ssd's into them.

Okay now the most annoying thing about the Aventum X is putting the fluid into the reservoir/pump cause the top of is on tight. I had to use some Channel locks to get the top off. Put fluid in everything was good from there. They forgot to send me the remote to adjust the leds for the sides, resorvoirs/pumps, video card block etc, contacting support and they sent me out remote pretty fast.

Overall review 9/10

There instructions for hydro lux could be better (didn't explain how to get cap off etc.). Forgot my remote. Pretty satisfied overall.

Yeah, I'll take pictures of how it arrives, and after I put the new ram in :)
