Good cooling, but a little noisy
I've been using the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240R RGB for a while, and it cools my processor very well, even under load. However, the fans can be a bit noisy, especially during long gaming sessions.
Powerful and quiet coolingThe MasterLiquid ML240R RGB watercooling package features two 120mm RGB PWM fans with a high static pressure of 2.34mm H2O. These provide extra pressure to push hot air through the radiator and avoid dynamic losses. Enjoy efficient cooling with a sound level of 6-30 dBA and a TDP of 230 W. The pump is able to withstand a wide range of chemicals and will not be affected by moisture. It remains very light and effectively combats oxidation and corrosion. Also benefit from rubber tubes for optimised operation with a longer service life. Thanks to the individual LED management, you can address each LED independently according to your wishes and the theme of your PC. This management can be done either via the ARGB controller or directly on your motherboard if it has an ARGB socket. |

I've been using the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240R RGB for a while, and it cools my processor very well, even under load. However, the fans can be a bit noisy, especially during long gaming sessions.
After almost two years of use it still works very well, a slight rolling noise on one of the two fans is slowly starting to appear but after two years of gaming my processor has rarely gone above 40°C in use
I find this watercooling not great at all, noisy and I am reluctant to remove it as it is badly reputed for its noise (which I have) and potentially leaks (which I have not had yet but many people have told me).
Otherwise, it's beautiful is all I'll give it.
The Cooler Master Masterliquid ML240 RGB is a water cooling system with an integrated pump and LED system that can be set up or managed with a control box. It keeps the temperature of your processor low no matter if your processor is working at idle or at high speed, thanks to its radiator with 2 fans of 14cm diameter.
Used to give an old C2Q config in s775 ( >10 years old) a facelift. It's a good thing it's compatible. I've been using it for a while now, but it's not a good idea to use it for a long time now, because it's not a good idea to use it for a long time. On the other hand, the documentation/manual is more than insufficient even if you go to the manufacturer's website, especially if you are new to RGB, given the multitude of connections required! You also have to be really sure of your cable management and keep your cool to get a clean result. Besides, all the cables and sheaths are generally very short, so it will be better for a medium or mini tower box... or a recent one.
Very quiet watercooling, which cools very well.
The RGB plug is not necessary to operate the LEDs on your CM.
Couplet has a good thermal paste, on an i7 8700 without doing anything I'm at just under 30°C and in game I don't go over 60°C.
I put 9/10 because the instructions for mounting the controller were not very clear, but I recommend this product.
Great watercooling but quite imposing, the radiator and the fans touch my RAM bars (corsair vengeance RGB) so be careful! The RGB control is done on a control box which adds cables in the case since it connects in Sata. The pipes are also quite rigid which makes it not very easy to handle when installing. Otherwise great cooling and great colours!
impeccable product clear instructions easy installation makes beautiful colour and cools very well i recommend
Great, easy installation, very intuitive, very efficient, I'm happy with my purchase. Thank you LCLC!
It does exactly what you'd expect it to do, a decrease in throttle when the cpu is under full load, even when facing an old dark rock slim. The only drawback is that the software for the Jean-Michel LEDs does not adapt its window to 4k screens, so you have to configure everything with the box.
