MasterLiquid Pro 240

Took my temps from 70 degrees Celsius back to 47 under normal operational loads (no OC yet, as 70 was prohibitive, but want to). I have an FX-8350. It runs pretty warm with 125W TDP. So, in the small case I chose (due to placement considerations) the stock and even an aftermarket cooler didn't really work that well (70 was with the aftermarket cooler).Enter AIO.The case has the space for a 240mm Radiator on the top, so I ordered the one from UpHere Technologies. Something in the universe told me not to use that one as each one of the successive three I ordered didn't have the AMD mounting plate included and it is supposed to. So, after a "3 strikes and you're out" policy, I decided to order either this one, the Cooler Master, or the Corsair H100 (latest version).The decision came down to NOISE LEVELS. Mind you I didn't get to try the UpHere as I could not mount it. So, it was based on specs from the manufacturers. The Cooler Master pump noise was from 6db and up. The corsair's was much higher. The fans are the fans as far as noise is concerned. But, there is a trick here the CM has. I will get to that later on.So, I mounted the radiator in the recessed top area designated for it in the Cuboid-B case I have. Then I put the fans on top of the radiator in a 'Pull' configuration. At first there was a minor humming/vibrating noise coming from one of the fans, but I had tried to do the install without the included rubber noise dampening gasket that goes between the radiator and the fans. I installed that and the vibrations settled down to an acceptable level. I may contact Cooler Master for one fan replacement, but it is functional at the moment. The other fan is perfect! The 2 fans included are the new 120mm AirBalance by Cooler Master. They push a LOT of air through with a very decent static pressure. This translates to keeping the whole room cooler because the heat is dispersed through a larger volume of air. (trick for more quiet) The fans also have a 3 position slider switch for (P)erformace, (Q)uiet or (S)ilence. The switch reduces the MAX RPM per setting by 500 starting with P=2500 max. Out of the box they are set to Q. So, if you want more performance go to P, more silence go to S. You will need a pin to slide the position switch. Also included is a splitter cable that allows both fans to run off of one PWM control header as they are 4 pin connecters, of course.p.s. Fixed post where it said "Q". I meant "P". Corrected spelling of performance.In addition, so far so AWESOME! This AIO works GREAT!This is my first liquid cooler and all I can say so far is: I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO AIR COOLING AGAIN (except where appropriate, i.e. a small ITX HTPC build or the like)!So, the basics of the cooler are a 2 chamber staged pump, 2 120mm cooling fans and a 240mm radiator. It comes with EVERYTHING you need to install the thing including thermal compound. The screws and brackets and such are packaged separately in their own nice container. Just be careful opening that as if you 'pop it' open the screws and stuff will go everywhere.My purchase even came with a $20 rebate, which made it only $12 more than the UpHere Technologies. Now, the computer system is around $1,000+ so, $12 for a BRAND NAME cooler instead of a no name one is probably a good choice.My ONLY 'wishes' with this are that the fans could plug into the pump header and then the pump plug into the CPU header. And since my build is 'blue led', that the fans would come in blue LED versions.Any questions, comments or concerns about this item, please post a comment and I will do what I can to answer them.C

Packaged well and seemed well built, but the fans are absolutely atrocious. Only consider this if it's under $100, as you're going to have to spend money on third party fans. The tubing is adequate, but the valves' position on the pump means you're very limited in terms of pump position and your logo will likely be vertical if mounting radiator to the top of the case.The screws for the fans are nice, but the screws for the radiator are a bit short (though get the job done on an H440). RGB would have been nice to have on a cooler marketed as higher end, but the blue LED looks nice enough I suppose. The pump is relatively quiet, but the included fans are by FAR the biggest detractor to the total product. They sound like a 747 flying over my house and even produce an obtrusive rattling sound when approaching max speed. This is compounded by use with an i7 7700K which likes to momentarily spike in core temps, meaning I'm blasted with a sonic wave of fan noise every time I launch Firefox.Nonetheless, upon replacing the included fans with $40 worth of corsair ML140s, the problem is eliminated and the cooler is comparable to any corsair or nzxt cooler. Installation was relatively simple though difficult, as the backplate is not secured to the motherboard, but instead is only held in place by nuts on the pump meaning you need three hands to hold the backplate, secure the nuts, AND position the pump simultaneously.Got mine for $99 plus a $15 rebate, though it's been six weeks and I still haven't gotten my rebate, nonetheless I've come to expect this with rebates and don't really hold it aganist CM, just don't expect a speedy reply. If it's around $120 or $130, I highly suggest going with one of the more expensive options like a 115i or a kraken, as this one is only worth it when the hidden cost of replacement fans still doesn't exceed the cost of other competitors.TL;DR, decent to good cooler held back by terrible fans; only buy if the price is still desirable after factoring in the cost of replacement fans.

Ho acquistato questo Masterliquid Pro 240 a giugno, precisamente l'11 giugno 2018 per montarlo su un Ryzen 5 2600x.- estetica e materiali -la luce del waterblock è molto carina e se si hanno anche i led sulla scheda madre fa un bel figurone. il radiatore evitare di toccarlo troppo perché le lamelle tendono leggermente a piegarsi, quindi se non ci mettete le mani addosso è meglio. i cavi sono tipo sleeve, molto belli con configurazioni scure. i cavi delle ventole sono molto lunghi e in dotazione avrete anche un cavo a Y per collegarle entrambe sulla stessa porta.- quanto raffredda? -tanto. veramente tanto. d'estate con le ventole al massimo, premiere che renderizzava un video di un'ora e mezza per un battesimo, la temperatura del processore non è salita manco per scherzo sopra i 66-67°.adesso in inverno con le ventole al 30-40% mantiene le stesse temperature massime.il Ryzen 5 non è un processore che scalda manco più di tanto perché ha un TDP massimo di 120-130W se non sbaglio. ma sono sicuro che pure un ryzen 7 lo tiene tranquillamente sotto i 70°- è rumoroso? -sì. non è assolutamente un AIO muto. non so se sia dovuto al mastercase pro 5 sul quale è montato o se le ventole sono difettose, ma quando le iniziano a salire di giri producono delle leggerissime vibrazioni che infastidiscono un po'. per il momento ho risolto con una guarnizione tra radiatore ed il supporto del case e le viti che reggono il supporto al case sono strette a morte, quindi in problema è quasi nullo.quando le ventole stanno a carico massimo, circa 1800rpm, fanno veramente casino ma è lì che raffredda come pochi sanno fare.se fosse anche silenzioso gli darei 5 stelle 🤷🏻‍♂️AGGIORNAMENTO. 2 MARZO 2019dopo nemmeno un anno da quando l'ho comprato, pur facendo relativamente freddo, non raffredda più come prima. con pasta termica da appena 4 mesi, ventole al 60% (1350rpm), un ryzen 5 2600x lo porta comunque a 76°C. non ho idea del perché di calo di prestazioni

I was surprised the cooler master pro can put my cpu to lowest temperature of. It's was little hectic than usual cooler but all paid off once fitted. Trusted cooler at unbeatable price . 40% off normal 280mm cooler

Le cooler master en 280, c est top pour un vieux core i7 comme un ryzen d aujourd'hui ,les durites sont costaux.cooler master c est vraiment du bon matériel informatique.

Perfecta, mantiene la cpu mas fresca y no hace apenas cadi ruido. Mejor q un ventilador normal. Consigues alargar la vida de la cpu

I love cooler master products. This one is totally beast for Cooling My AMD CPU. Thank you Amazon.
