MasterLiquid

The Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240 Illusion is a performer; it diligently keeps my CPU temperatures hovering around 50°C. That said, installation wasn't the smoothest journey. When trying to fix it to the top of my PC case, the screws barely fit, leading me to strip one in the process. The mounting on an AM4 socket was notably challenging, particularly when attempting to secure the clamps to the motherboard in such tight quarters.Once installed, the cooler shines – both in performance and aesthetics. The vibrant colors are a visual treat. A suggestion for a future iteration would be to integrate a digital temperature readout on the pump, similar to what NZXT offers. For the price, that would be a fantastic value-add. In summary, it's a solid cooler with room for installation improvements.

've been using the Cooler Master MasterLiquid PL240 Flux for a few days now, and I'm really impressed with it. It's a great AIO liquid cooler that offers great performance, quiet operation, and a sleek design.The cooling performance of the PL240 Flux is excellent. I was able to overclock my CPU to 5.0 GHz without any problems, and the cooler kept it running cool and stable. The fans are also very quiet. Even at full speed.The ARGB lighting is also very nice.Overall, I'm very happy with the Cooler Master MasterLiquid PL240 Flux. It's a great AIO liquid cooler that I would definitely recommend to others.

Ran into some complications which was no fault of the cooler! I didnt have the standard AMD brackets installed, was using a four point screw systmem with the stock cooler but thankfully I still had the backets that came with my motherboard.Also my Phanteks P600 case has a built in hub for the fans which was using the CPU-OPT header which I was planning to use for the pump header, so I plugged that into a Fan header instead (what the hell did it have to do with the CPU?! my mistake when i originally built this lol. So I put the case hub into CHA-FAN1 which freed CPU-OPT for the pump. Everything works great.I am not using the coolermaster hub, it seems that would mean installing the coolermaster software and I want the ARGB stuff controlled directly by ASUS Aura sync. The RAM RGB I had to set seperately with corsair software im not sure if Aura Sync can control that, need to look into but for now its fine.

I got this cooler for an absolute bargain price, so no complaints on that front.As I was fitting this to an already built PC I found it was slightly fiddly to get the radiator and all the cables routed. I can only imagine it would be easier doing it from scratch.The radiator I received had some squashed fins, but nothing that will seriously hamper performance or make me want to return the product.Overall the pump and radiator are of a good quality and everything looks nice once installed.I would recommend watching an online video to help with install as the fitting instructions provided are not great, and if you are inexperienced with such things you could have problems.As a cooling solution, the cooler works really well so far. I had a Cooler Master 212 rgb and swapped it out for this, and I've noticed a drop in temps of about 5c on my overclocked Ryzen 5 3600 (unscientifically recorded!)The fans for this cooler are not the quietest, and I can definitely hear them where I couldn't hear the 212 air cooler I had fitted before.This doesn't bother me if I'm honest. When my PC is idle I can't really hear the fans and when I'm playing a game I'm usually concentrating on the game so don't notice any increase in volume from the fans.I would recommend this product overall, but there is a lot of cable management, and the fans supplied are only 'ok'.Edit: having had the cooler installed for a few months now, I can honestly say that the performance of the AIO is very good, but the fans are of a poor quality. They started off with an acceptable level of noise, but have now developed an intermittent rattle that must be based on fan speed.I will be replacing both RGB fans with Noctua ones at the first opportunity and relegating one of the RGB fans to a case exhaust.

Bought this for my recent PC build...I wanted to replace the stock AMD Wraith air cooler with something a little better.It took a few minutes to fix as the pipes were trying to go above my RGB ram and I wanted it to run below... but I got it to fit in the end and it looks great.The RGB can be controlled with the included controller,, but I had a MSI Mystic Light motherboard so connected it directly to that instead. Looks lovely with the rest of my build.It is a little noisy at times but im ok with that as long as it gives good cooling performance, which it does!
