So this is going to be a longish post, this was bought off a FM a little while ago. With the intent of repairing it and using it, however as I found out it wasn't a straight forward solder and use thing.
It was advertised to be sold as parts originally, and I would take it that it can be sold as the same.
So the history:
When it arrived, it had no coolant, the solder of the SATA power cable was broken and needed to be soldered back. The pump itself had broken solder which had to be soldered back, the thermal sensor had to be reinserted with thermal paste. The cold plate was removed, cleaned as was the gasket and reassembled. The radiator was bled and was filled up with Hella O.A.T Coolant concentrate (1part in 3 parts distilled water). The pump works as do the fans. The fans were mismatched when I received the cooler. So the seller sent me a couple of Artic p14pwm fans, which are now included in the sale. As of now, after doing everything. The fans work, pump works, but try as I might the pump lighting does not work. Also the pump to USB header is not turning up in Corsair Link, if its a compatibility issue or a genuine issue I do not know. Also the reading of the PUMP rpm single wire does no show up but I think its possible that its a setting in the BIOS that needs to be changed. I've learnt a lot in this process, trying to fix it. However now its beyond by capabilities to fix. All accessories including mounting brackets and hardware are included.

Thank you for reading and looking.
Can include the original Corsair LL140 fan for another 600/- bucks.

You shouldn't have risked it buying as these things are tricky to fix where even brand new aios fail with no valid reasons. Better you could had returned it when you found its not worth the efforts.

You're probably right, but still the experience taught me a lot. Besides, I still would have used it, but my case didn't have the facility to mount a 280mm, the case I have now will not get filled out with a 280, so whenever I do go for water cooling it will have to be with a 360.

Just the radiator and the P14s make this worth it. If I could accommodate a 280mm rad, I'd probably go this route for a relatively inexpensive custom loop:

GLWS!

Attached stress test on a 5600x, in case anyone is wondering if the pump is working or not.

EDIT1: Better temps with fans attached to CPU fan headers.(10-12 degrees better)
