Cooler Master's ML240R RGB liquid cooler is a very solid all-round product.
Things start well as it is a good-looking piece of kit – I am quite taken with the square-looking radiator, while the braided tubing is also easy on the eye.
In terms of installation, things are straightforward and nothing is too big of an issue. Installing the mounting bracket to the pump can be a little fiddly, but it will only take a couple of minutes.
As for overall performance, the ML240R is very impressive. It doesn't quite take top spot in either of our tests, but it does come very, very close making this a very capable cooler.
Noise levels are also impressive but not quite the best – though the ML240R is far from loud and in a case, it would be practically silent.
We couldn't sum up the cooler without mentioning the addressable RGB lighting either, which looks very good and is easy to control thanks to the bundled controller which removes the need for a compatible motherboard.
All-in-all, it is very easy to recommend the Cooler Master ML240R RGB liquid cooler. It is a very capable all-rounder, with good looks, very impressive thermal performance and low noise levels. It isn't quite a must have as there are both better performing and quieter coolers out there, but it does everything to a very high standard regardless.
You can buy one from Overclockers UK for £109.99 HERE.
Pros
- Very good thermal performance.
- Low noise levels.

Cons
- Neither the outright quietest or best performing cooler, even if it is still impressive in those areas.

KitGuru says: The Cooler Master ML240R RGB is an impressive all-rounder which will appeal to the RGB crowd.
