Customers frequently mention the MAG CORELIQUID 240R's excellent cooling performance and ease of installation. Many also praise its vibrant RGB lighting and quiet operation, while some experienced issues with pump reliability after extended use. The price point is often cited as a positive aspect.
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!
