The MAG series was born through rigorous quality testing and designed to be a symbol of sturdiness and durability. Focused on providing the best user experience, the MAG series has a simple installation process coupled with a friendly user interface making it the best choice for entry level gamers. The newly introduced MAG CORELIQUID Series has everything you're looking for in a liquid cooler, ranging from quality materials that provide reliable durability to heat dissipation technologies that are extremely effective. Users can even enjoy perks like ARGB lighting and a 270-degree rotating blockhead that is simple to use. On top of that, the blockhead boasts a unique irregular aesthetic that is both stylish and artistic. Every single component of the MAG CORELIQUID Series is designed with the end goal in mind: to provide effective cooling without any compromise. Mount the cold plate at any orientation, turn the blockhead up to 270 degrees, and keep it upright.The pump has been integrated into the radiator for sound dampening and noise reduction. Additionally, placing the pump into the radiator also increases the pump's life expectancy by moving it away from the heat source. A durable three phase motor at the core of the pump generates minimal vibrations for long-lasting operation. A split pathway through the radiator rapidly dissipates heat, cooled liquid is then pumped back into the loop. Constructed with three layers of netted plastic tubing and a reinforced mesh exterior.
Q: What type of bearing does the fan on this cooler use?
A: The fan uses a two ball bearing.
Q: What is the fan speed of this CPU cooler?
A: The fan speed of this cooler is 2000 revolutions per minute.
Q: What is the airflow volume of this cooler?
A: This cooler has an airflow volume of 78 cubic feet per minute.
Q: How much noise does the fan on this cooler generate?
A: The fan on this cooler generates 14.3 decibels of noise.
Q: What is the radiator size of the MAG CORELIQUID 240R V2?
A: The radiator size is 240 millimeters.
Q: Is the V2 affected by the 240R recall?
A: I just got my V2, entered the serial number into the recall website, and it said it was not affected by the recall. So I am going to assume the V2 does not have the recall issue.
A: The MAG CoreLiquid 240R V2 will fit socket LGA 1151 motherboards.
Q: Are the water tubs adjustable
A: It can be based on how you mount the AIO. You would just have to be careful to make sure that the tubes do not get in the way of the GPU or the case fans. You can place the AIO for the Rear, Top or Front Orientations. The RGB on the Heat Sink is rotatable as well as the CPU fan connector.

This AIO was a "Roof of case" mounted Installation in my Rosewill SPECTRA D100, cooling a Ryzen 7 5800X3D which has a TDP of 105W. I used the Thermal Paste that MSI includes with this AIO. Installation was overall fine. In practice, most AIO's and even many larger Air Coolers require patience and this wasn't any different. The other main component generating heat in this PC is my graphics card which is a reference design RX 7900 XT. The Case has 3x 120mm front mounted fans with a single 120mm fan Exhaust at the upper rear of the case. Depending on the temperature of my room, this AIO is keeping the CPU to between 71C and 75C when playing Warzone 2.0 (CoD) for >2hrs. I do not have a comparison of cooling performance for the Vetroo V5 AirCooler I was using as the GPU, CPU and AIO were all upgrades made at the same time. From memory I think my V5 Vetroo temps were around 69C to 73C, cooling a 65W TDP Ryzen 5 5600X, with a PowerColor Red Devil RX 6800 XT GPU. Overall, very happy so far with this cooler. Very Quiet. Good loooking, and if you get it on sale, its a great deal. (Ninety Five bucks)
