Great performer and quiet! Some pump noise (I think) when initially powered on but it has subsided now. Installed into an MSI Aegis 055-US with a 3070 and it is great. Keeps temps nice and cool and peaks at 70c under load using XTU benchmark. Install was easy and took me about 3 hours but I was having fun so I took my time. I didn’t use the included thermal paste and instead used Arctic MX-4, just personal preference. Don’t forget to remove the plastic from the plate that sits on the cpu!

Have my i5-10600k overclocked to 4.9Ghz all core at 1.3 volts and on air cooling (BeQuiet Dark Slim) I was hitting 93C in benchmarks like Cinebench R23 after like 30 secs. With this AIO and same OC settings my max temp after multiple 10 minute runs was 84C. Not bad at all! Also the pump is in the radiator in this AIO so placement of the rad will really be up to preference although I’ve personally found it to operate quieter while top mounted. Only negative I have is for first timers, MSI provides like no instructions on how to install this AIO, but of course there are some good guides on YouTube to help you out.

This AIO Liquid cooler is awesome! The RGB's are gorgeous and the MSI dragon looks really cool inside the case. It was pretty straightforward to install, I didn't run into any issues there. CPU temps have been running in the low 40 to mid 50 Celsius range which is really solid. It synced right up to my MSI motherboard perfectly!

The MSI Mag Core-liquid 240r is doing a pretty good job keeping my pc cool and quiet while I am able to do video editing and exporting content. It also can be slightly loud while gaming but the overall temps in my system didn't get overblown by heat. Overall it is a great aio cooler for someone trying to look for something on a budget.

Unfortunately I cannot install this into my Omen 30L case. I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED! I know..I know. The top looked like there was room to install this but the top-front (angled]USB Jack's and on/off button assembly is in the way. As you can see in the picture. It is sad because this is a beautiful cooler. I may keep it.. get a new case with better cooling options and move the Omen down the road. Lol Well built.. sleek sexy.. and huge radiator. Take a little skill to install.. you will have to pull motherboard off you have intel rig to install back plate.. looked easy on videos otherwise. AMD 4 is easy pz. I would have have 5 stars if I actually had it running. But I'm judging on looks alone atm. I hear they work well.

Truly amazing cooler. Keeps my 5800x (which is notorious for running incredibly hot) under 70c in virtually all applications I've thrown at it. Even ran some benchmarks that intentionally put heavy strain on the cpu and never broke above 68c. The RGB is very vibrant and easy to customize if that's what you're into lol installation can be difficult if you've never done that sort of thing before though. Other than that I give it a 5/5

I bought this cooler not expecting the world given that this is MSI's first venture in the AIO world. What I got in return was more than the world. It was the universe. This AIO is amazingly easy to install and it cools like no other. The lighting on the fans is top notch. I do wish they included a coupling for connecting the RGB cables together so they don't come unplugged easy. But the simple use of black electrical tape solved that problem. Great job MSI.

Ran fine for the first 3 months. Liked the look of the cooler matched well with my build. Bought it late September 2021. Noticed a significant drop in temperatures when compared to the stock cooler for 3700x. Was running in the low 40s on idle and high 60s under a full load. However, by the time December rolled around, I started to notice a noise coming from the pump whenever I would start up the computer. The temperatures were starting to creep up into the 70s when gaming. I opted to repaste the cpu with some thermal grizzly kryonaut instead of using the leftover paste that came with the cooler. Temps dropped back down to the high 60s and thought that did the trick but eventually it would creep back up into the 70s. The pumps sounds got worse and by early January 2022, I was starting to see temps in the low 80s. I called MSI's technical support line on Jan. 11 to see if I could get it RMA request going and was told by the support agent that those temperatures were within the operating ranges and that I should only make the RMA request if I start to see temperatures above 90. Thought that was a bit weird but said ok, I'll wait and see. Over the next few days, I would hear the pump sounds get worse and see temperatures in the 80s on idle and 90s when gaming. I submitted an online RMA request on Jan. 18. As of Jan. 22, I've yet to get any sort of confirmation email to let me know that the request has been received. My cpu has also hit a new high of 102 C so that was interesting. I've heard that MSI quality control can be hit or miss and it seems like this cooler was a big miss. My current build is using mainly msi products and I have had no issues with those components but this cooler has been nothing but trouble. TL;DR Cooler looks good and was fine for the first 3 months. Started to fail on 4th month and now I'm trying to get it RMAd but haven't heard back from MSI yet.

This product works and looks great. My initial temps prior to installation were 80-100 degrees Celsius. Crazy hot! Installation took some time as the instructions are terrible, and videos on YouTube weren’t that helpful. Your computer motherboard may be different and not have things labeled well. After some time, I was able to figure out the connections. It looks and works great after getting it running. Def a must to keep your processor/chip cool.

I love this CPU cooler from MSI, I used to have a stock cooler that came with my Ryzen 2600 that ran too hot but this AIO keeps it really cool that I can even overclock it now. I like the design that MSI has for this AIO and the RGB control are nice. It met my expectations through and through. I would recommend for the cooling and style that it provides.

For the money it is a very good AIO. What I like is the pump is in the radiator and not on the CPU heat sink. That allows for it to be mounted in any orientation as you don’t need to worry about the pump hydro locking or wearing out due to no liquid lubricating. Simple install and pairs well with MSI mb. During Stress tests this keeps my CPU 65 or under.

Easy to install and looks good. It keeps cpu 28c at idle and when gaming highest temp was 60c.

Well it worked great the first few months. I’m having similar problems as some other reviews on here are showing. Started making a weird crackling sound and temps are rising tremendously, even into the high 90s by doing simple tasks, such as opening a google website. I relaxed thermal paste even, maybe helped by like 2 degrees. Still getting into the 90s playing warzone. When I first had it, wouldn’t reach over 70. Currently looking to replace it and hope it’s defective. Problem is, they aren’t in stock at my store.

Good AIO with less cables than other liquid coolers. Performs within a degree or two of the Kraken X53. The only downiside when compared to other AIO's if using in an ITX chasis is that is has a bit more stiffer tubes but it's not the worst I've seen so far.

Clean and synced easily with my MSI motherboard for mystic light control. Very quiet and keeps my i7-10700k very cool. For the price you can not beat this AIO cooler.

Seen this literally after I purchased my msi mpg edge WiFi mobo for my intel 10th gen.. I’m new to pc building and this made things easy to assemble and fit into my case.. for the price and functionality this is a no brained if your looking for something to cool your new 10th gen that pairs amazing with the msi boards!!! so, far temps are amazing cool and even better than the i5-7500 I had.. highly recommend to anyone at any experience level..

RGB lighting on the fans is nice, but the RGB lighting dots are extremely noticeable. (They're like sparkly dots). I purchased this AIO because the pump is located in the radiator and not the block itself. Other AIOs such as NZXT and Coolermaster have a pump in the block which wouldn't be ideal for my use case. I built my system in a NR200P which only supports a bottom mounted radiator. The highest point of this cooler is the block, so having a pump in the radiator instead of the block prevents air bubbles from forming. There's a great video made by Machines & More on Youtube that explains everything in more detail.

Awesome product easy to install great lighting effects keeps CPU nice and cool would definitely recommend

Great cooler, love the rgb lights, very cool temps, super quiet, great for overclocking.

Easy to install works flawlessly rgb works perfect
