It has been a fair while since we last reviewed a CPU cooler from Cooler Master. Well, that changes today as we are looking at the ML240R RGB liquid cooler, with addressable RGB lighting on both the pump and the fans. Priced at just under £110, can this strike a balance between good looks and impressive performance? Let's find out.

As the name suggests, the ML240R is a 240mm liquid cooler from Cooler Master. The ‘ML' stands for ‘Master Liquid' and is nothing to do with magnetic levitation fans, while the ‘R' stands for ‘regular' as Cooler Master products are now split into three tiers – lite, regular and pro.
