The ML240R RGB ships in a dark grey box with purple accenting. A large image of the cooler itself is visible from the front.
Inside, two manuals are included – one for the installation process, and one detailing warranty information.
The necessary installation hardware and added extras come in three separate bags. One contains all of the mounting screws and fixings, while the other contains various cables and connectors to use with the RGB controller, which is in the third bag. This controller allows you to utilise the addressable RGB nature of the ML240R without the need for a dedicated ARGB header on your motherboard.
Alongside that, two of Cooler Master's MF120R fans come included, which are specifically designed for use with radiators. Each fan uses two cables – one for the 4-pin PWM header, and one for the 3-pin ARGB header.
Now we come to the liquid cooler itself, and I have to say I am quite taken with the overall design. The radiator is quite square in shape and looks quite smart if you ask me, while the braided tubing also looks nice and stealthy. For those interested, the radiator measures 277 x 119.6 x 27 mm.
The pump/coldplate is also noteworthy for two separate reasons. The first is because the pump uses a dual-chamber design, which Cooler Master says makes it ‘impervious to oxidation and corrosion'.
Secondly, the top plate on the pump (where you can see the Cooler Master logo) is removable. This serves two purposes – you can either remove the plate entirely if you want a full-on RGB experience (as the plate covers the LEDs), but most useful is the fact that the removable plate allows you to re-orient the logo regardless of how the waterblock is installed, meaning you can always have the logo the right way up.
