I got the Arctic Freezer II 280mm. Really easy to install for my first ever AIO. One plug to worry about instead of a bazilion and its quite ok.
I am not sure what the pump should sound like as i never had an AIO. Only thing I still need to figure out is the fan settings, the processor does go up and down quite frequently and so the fans ramp up and down similarly. Is that what other people have?
The Aorus Master x570 default fan curve is really weird possibly because it sees this setup as one instead of a pump and 3 fans (including the little vrm one).
a few years ago I bought my first AIO for my daughter - a 280mm corsair. that ramps up and down and the fan controller on the case that I plugged it into also ramps the case fans similarly. To me it makes too much noise when they ramp up but my daughter does want the cpu for work any slower and so wont let me alter the fan curve in the bios. For my pc (with a air cooler for a ryzen 5 3600 that boosts up to 65ºC) I have altered the fans profile to being about 50% up to say 55 to 60ºC anf then 100% at 65ºC so that the cpu is always boosting and automatically overclocking.
The majority of the time the fans are at 50% and are very quiet. So I recommend that you alter the fan profile.

I will definitelly look into changing the fan profile. I did put it on silent and did help but what helped most was when i set it constant low haha. Its not stupid loud on 100% my KFA 680gtx sounded like an airplane when I used to play games with it, I just am not fun of the going up and down as you can hear the change.
yes it don't like it going up and down hence I set it at about 50% flat from say 20 to 60ºC - it was enough to keep the cpu cool for the majority of the time and yet not loud. I only got the fan profile to ramp up between 60 and 65ºC to ensure that my ryzen 3600 stayed as fast as possible with max automatic overclocking (as long as below 65ºC).

ive got the corsair 110i (as has djay) on our 3950x's, does the job well, in games it hits around 65-68c after an extended session, if you loop cinebench it will hit in the 70's.
Ive tried overclocking with mine, i can run up to about 4.3ghz all core but its not man enough to sustain it, and will shoot into the 90's.

I managed to hit 4.325GHz with a sloppy ryzen master OC but i think i put a lot of voltage in it. 1.4 I don't remember what temps i had. What would be the top safe voltage to test oc
1.325v, try not to go higher
