Would like to see a little more built in control for setting temperature alarms. Currently the only way to set up any kind of alarms with the Vantage is by using CoolIt’s Maestro software
Mounting screws could be a little bit beefier.
No pushpull fan configuration

Expensive

The temperature shown on the LCD display is actually for the coolant in the unit, not for the CPU itself. This was very interesting to me because most people want to know the CPU temps instead of the coolant temp. The Coolit Vantage showcased some im...
