Cooler Master MasterLiquid LC240E RGB Close-Loop AIO CPU Liquid Cooler, 240mm Radiator, Dual Chamber RGB Pump, Dual MF120R RGB Fans, RGB Lighting for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1151

I just upgraded from a 120 mm water cooler to this 240 mm model. For reference, my processor is rated at 125 W. I purposely picked the same brand cooler with the hopes that the mounting would be identical. For my socket, this unit requires the factory mounting bracket that many other coolers, including my original cooler, do not use. It is a simple process to install, if the bracket is already on the motherboard. Otherwise, you have to find one. Luckily, they are under $10 to replace, if missing. Performance wise, I had my old cooler from the factory constantly running at 100% fan speeds to maintain decent temps. This new cooler is so efficient that I had to reduce the fan speeds to keep the temps above ambient levels. (Can’t drop below ambient in Florida unless I want a wet processor.) At constant 100% fans, this new cooler dropped my temps to below 20° C. With the motherboard now in control and adjusting the fan speed, I am about 30° C at idle and peak in the 40’s with moderate activity. This is about a 10° C drop from my old cooler for idle temps. I am not a gamer so I rarely push the processor too hard. Video production is the main thing stressing the system and that only happens in bursts. Based on some other reviews, I used a name brand thermal paste instead of what came with the cooler. I don’t know how much that changes things. The setup works great so I like it. Also, important to note that the factory paste originally installed was still extremely wet so it had not dried out. For whatever reason, the old setup was just not keeping up with the heat being generated. If I am hearing the pieces correctly, the fans are extremely quiet and I hear a little bit of pump noise. Since I am always wearing headphones, I don’t hear anything with them on. The RGB system works, but seems to have extremely limited options. I wanted a decent, budget cooler, more than lights, so I am happy with the product.

Personal Experience: After my wife made a comment on how loud the OEM CPU fan was for my desktop I decided it was time to get a liquid cooled replacement. I wanted something that would not only be quieter but keep my CPU cooler. Read some reviews and I was between the 120mm and 240mm radiator, I settled on the 240mm radiator because my case had the space and for the price it was a good deal. Install of the cooler is relatively easy if you have experience building computers or swapping out components and your case has room to accommodate the radiator and cooling tubes. My setup uses an AMD chipset but the cooler accommodates both AMD and Intel chipsets; the directions are easy to follow on how to install for either style. Make sure you clear cables out of your way with Zip ties and ensure that everything fits before you bolt/strap it down. If you are upgrading your existing CPU Fan/Cooler I would suggest purchasing good thermal paste remover so you can start with a clean surface. Overall it took me about 45 minutes to remove the old fan, clean off the thermal paste, layout the new Cooler setup then bolt everything down/apply new thermal paste. The lights on the cooler are a nice touch. All in all I was pleased with CPU cooler upgrade from install to performance. Recommend: Yes Pros: Far quieter than the OEM fan that came with the CPU Easy to install in a large case Came with all the mounting equipment you would need Lights are a nice touch to customize your setup Works with both AMD and Intel chip sets (AMD on my setup) Cons: Will not fit in a smaller case (did not affect me but be aware) Installation Suggestions: If you are upgrading get thermal paste remover and be generous when cleaning the CPU Layout everything before you tighten everything down; I had to move the radiator slightly to get everything to fit nicely Read the directions on which way to install the fans the first time (I have installed fans backwards before and it sucks)

I used this with a Ryzen 2600x CPU and added 2 fans to it to make it a push pull, Works amazing compared to the stock AIO cooler in my other ryzen 2700x from Cyberpower, that is only a single radiator push pull.... That one sucks compared to this guy!!!!! Keeps my CPU very cool. I have not had one power failure due to CPU overheating on this system.. But my other 2700x with the single overheats all the time. I actually had to downclock it, I am thinking about getting another one of these for that one as well, but I would have to dismantle a lot of stuff to make it fit as it would only fit my case in the front.... and the lights on it are cool... I did not like the clamps for the motherboard though.... they were rather tricky and flimsy..... just be careful, be calm, and do it when rested on a clear head.... do not attempt to install if frustrated.

Absolutely no complaints so far as to the performance, but..... The fanboy RGB setup is laughably cheesy with flimsy adapters and really sad quality wiring. The mounting for AMD is just the stock-style clamp (which is fine if you have a good quality "gaming" mobo with a brace), but does clamp almost tighter than it should. Fans are fairly quiet. The radiator looks very cheap with square edges and seams that could have been soldered by a 7 year old. connections to the pump are swivel 90s with o-rings (well done), but at the radiator the hoses look to be held to the barbs (well really just a bump in the thin metal tube) with heat shrink which has me worried about long term durability. Mounting hardware for the rad and fans is great, black chrome thumb screws, no problem there - very attractive and good quality. As far as the fans.... they look pretty much like dollar store with some disco lights. No complaints here, though, considering the price. This would make a great entry level budget cooler and after a week of torture I see no defects other than cheap workmanship from overseas - but that's aesthetics. Aside from that, it's cooling my FX-8350 BE flawlessly until I can pick up a better setup. I previously ran the Antec Kuhler 920, first on an AMD Phenom II x4 975 BE , then on the upgrade - the 8350 black for altogether about 7 years until the pump got tired from running nearly 24/7, and air coolers just don't cut it for this setup. I probably wouldn't expect this unit to last and perform quite like that, but we'll see. So far, so good. Packaging was excellent, shipping time very short, typically what I see from the folks at Amazon.

I got this for a recent build for a friend. Cooling unit was nicely packaged and included all necessary bits. Quality seems very good on everything, actually impressed me for the price-point. Plenty of options as far as color and such go too, which is nice if you're doing a themed build. You can also adjust how the LED lighting works - whether you want solid, pulsing, bright, dim, etc. I believe the system could also be hooked up to your motherboard if you have a motherboard with BIOS controlled lighting and the corresponding LED pin port. System is nice and quiet and cools nicely - this build it was used with a Ryzen 5 2600. Installation was a snap. You do need to find somewhere to hide all the wiring for the lighting, but most cases these days have good cable management and can be hidden behind the motherboard tray.

For around $70 shipped - it's hard to beat. I honestly only bought it because it was a few dollars more than paying for a new air cooler, so I gave it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised. It performed much better than I had expected it to with temps around 30-36c at idle and never over 65c under load. The only complaint that I have is that you have to be really patient with the mounting brackets on AM4 because it uses the plastic ones that come with your motherboard, and if you aren't careful and torque one side more than the other you can break them off. The other complaint I had is that, had I not done a ton of research prior to purchasing, I may not have had the hardware that came with my motherboard to put back on (thankfully i held onto it, but I know many people don't so that's something to think about) The RGB works fine and comes with all the splitters you need to get it all working out of the box... with that said, it's fairly weak - not very bright and I'm not a huge fan of the Cooler Master logo and the lights inside of it seem weak/splotchy.. but it definitely looked better than the stock air cooler I was using. I've since changed cases and my radiator would not fit on the top or front of the new case, so i've gone back to my air cooler but i'll use this in another rig sometime soon. All in all, a very solid performer for the price. Up there with many of the other 240mm AIO's i've used.

Just installed this yesterday and it is working great. Install wasn't too bad, there is a lot of wires to connect but that is to be expected. The instructions could be better, for example, the hardware has letters telling you when to use what piece in the instructions. The problem is the hardware itself is not labeled making the letters useless. Still most of it is intuitive. One major thing to note though is that if you are using this for your AMD cpu, you will need the brackets that come pre installed on your motherboard. This kit does not come with extra and that is how this is secured to the board. If you dont have them anymore because you used the stock cooler, you will need to buy some. I would recommend this cooler, though I haven't had it long enough to attest to its durability and reliability, it has lowered my temps and I plan to overclock my r5 2600 with this.

Dropped to 1 star. I was able to resolve the LED issue by replacing the splitter connector which had a broken pin causing the colors to display incorrectly. I never received a reply on a ticket I created. After using the AIO for about 2 months the pump is making a very loud grinding noise. Temps are still in line but the sound is unbearable and foreboding. Will replace with a higher end AIO. ---Edit-- I am being a bit critical on the fans here but this is an RGB product so it is an important feature. My Cooler came with 2 different color fans. By default on power up one is green and one is purple. I have not been able to sync them using Asus Aura or OpenRGB. They are always different colors. I suspect the green fan is defective because I believe the proper default color is purple. Either way, having the case fans, LED strips, and Motherboard panels all synced and one fan a different color is an OCD trigger. On the cooling side it does a fantastic job. I am running a Ryzen 7 2700XT at 4.3GHz and under heavy load the temp peaks at 72c. Once the temp peaks at 72c the fans ramp up and temp drops to 68c. This is using the motherboard preset and no custom fan curve. I have not experienced any thermal throttling and the performance under heavy gaming has been superb. Just the freaking fan.

Lo compré sin darme cuenta que no embonaba en mi gabinete y tuve que usar el disipador que viene en el procesador (Ryzen 2600x) pero este hacía demasiado ruido y se calentaba bastante, entonces adapté el gabinete para que entrara y ha sido una maravilla, poco ruido a comparación de antes y se mantiene a muy buena temperatura. Es la primera computadora que armo y no tuve ningún problema para armarlo, las instrucciones son claras.

مبرد قوي لكن الصوت المراوح على اعلى دوران مزعج

ممتاز

well my aging H105,was giving me 83.c core temps playing Battlefiield V,it was almost 5 years old,this new cooler dropped my core temps back down to 75.c,,,the fans after 70% are loud,it was farely easy to install,the pump itself is silent,.the price was right,,shipping was free,,i ordered Jan 1st,recieved Jan 3rd,,impresseive amazon

Really nice cooler keeps temps nice and cool fans are a little loud and the radiator came with a couple dents also only way I found of changing colours is with little remote as I could not find no software to use even the ones it says is compatible with don’t seem to work but all that a side really good cooler would give 5 star.
