When it comes to coolers, Raijintek has always done things a little differently and the Orcus 240 is no exception. Compared to other AIO liquid coolers available the Orcus 240's CPU block features a small porthole window through which you can see a liquid flow indicator, certainly a useful inclusion to ensure everything is running smoothly, and the pump, rather than being installed in either the block, or the radiator is in line, running midway down the tubing.

The Orcus 240 is also maintainable, with an inlet for topping up the coolant which really sets it apart from the competition but following similar current trends still comes complete with RGB fans, and RGB LEDs built into the CPU block. Priced at £89.99 you do seem to get quite a bit of bang for your buck, but it will be really interesting to see if these unique features actually aid in performance or functionality, or if there’s a reason Raijintek is the only manufacturer implementing them.
