This product gave me problems within one year of using this for gaming

I'm new to AIO water cooling, but this couldn't be easier to install and get going. I have this front mounted with fans on inside of the case, behind the radiator. I specifically wanted the fans inside the case (NZXT H400) to help keep some noise down, but even with that I don't know if it was actually necessary. I didn't test any other configurations so keep that in mind. Noise: At full tilt, the fans have a low/deep hum similar to a small box fan. It isn't annoying at all, but of course everyone is different when it comes to noise tolerance, but this setup is considerably quieter than the CM JetFlo intake fans it replaced. Performance: I don't overclock my gear, but my goal for this was to reduce case temps, which in turn would let me reduce the speeds of the other case fans while gaming. Hours and hours of Warzone, BF1, BF4, my Ryzen 5 2600 (stock speeds) barely cracks 50*C. After 30 mins on PRIME95 (smallest FFTs) it was around 60*c. That's a great improvement from the stock wraith stealth cooler that would have been at 72* and 80* respectively. The main benefit, and reason for going AIO water, was reducing case temps and/or fan speeds. The 20*c reduction in CPU temps, means my GPU (2060) isn't getting blasted with hot case air, case temps remain low, and case fans remain nearly silent. I was able to drop my case fan speeds while maintaining the previous 50*c temps (under load) while air cooling. I'd say that's a win/win. Quality: Again, this is my first AIO so I don't know if it is any better or worse than others. However, I do like the fact that the pump is on the radiator instead of on the cold plate like most other coolers. Pump noise is nonexistent due to the pump always being below the high point of the loop, so air should never reach it. I took a point off though for an annoying resonance caused by the fans. This only occurs around 1200rpm and 1800rpm. This has been installed in two cases, so I don't think it is the case material but the radiator itself or perhaps the mounting surface between the two. The instructions are pretty minimal, so there weren't any torque specs for fasteners I went with the old method of "good-n-tight" but it doesn't seem to prevent the resonance. However, that being said, the auto fan speeds set by MSI Dragon center (MSI B550m motherboard), maintains 52* while gaming, and the fan speeds never increase or do so so minutely that it doesn't fall into those ranges while gaming. I only hear it while manual controlling the fans up to those speeds. The LEDs are controlled easily by MSI's mystic light system, however on my previous ASRock board, their RGB program had no idea how to handle the ARGB. The only option that worked was a solid color pulse, and it was hit or miss if I could get it to actually be the color I wanted. I'm happy with this purchase, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to get their feet wet in the world of water cooling...no pun intended.

Good design and good looks. The pivoting hose connections on the block made install a lot easier than without. Does a decent job cooling my 10850k (around 80'c with all cores at full load in a 75' f room), but I'm thinking this CPU warrants a 360mm AIO unit.

The first one I got was defective, so I exchanged for a new one. The new one works great, and keeps a Ryzen 9 3900x below 50 C while under heavy load. The RGB looks great and the cooler is very silent, even while under load.

Give a really cool look, keeps my CPU cool at all time when playing games, and good price, car best this.

I use it for my i7-9700f, the temperatures are excellent, it works quietly, beautiful rgb light. easy to install

Very neat design and very quite was easy to install without any issues and excellent price

Easy to install and the cooling is phenomenal, especially when running demanding games.

This cooler looks nice and cools well, but the pump was very noisy for me right out of the box. To me, the noise level is one of the top priorities, so I had to return it, but some people later told me it should get quite after some time, so I want to be fair and say maybe I jumped the gun there. I think it's worth a try! The sound it makes might not bother you at all, it's still quieter than the Wraith Prism that came with my Ryzen 3900X, and lowers the temps by around 10-12C on IDLE and up to 15-18C under load!

Great piece of equipment and have had no problems. Use it for mining and gaming and has had a lot of time out into it.

Let me first say this is awesome and the rgb is nice but the only thing I dont like is the price I got for 130 and it makes a little noise. Maybe because the wire got stuck into it. But overall it keep my processor cool and nice when I play games which heat up my pc especially call of duty. The built is nice and sturdy. I love it thats why I only give it 4 star because of the price and noise.

Nice color and power , esay instalation and utilisation !

Great AIO. Cools better then my old tower cooler the fuma 2. Temps dont go above 60c on my 10600k at load. Idle is around 28c. Nice rgb but make sure your motherboard has atleast 3 RGB headers otherwise one fan will not be lit up. Mine only has 2. It was very easy to install.

My other liquid cpu coller stopped working. I replaced it with this one was pretty easy to install. You can daisy chain the cpu cooler and fans for synch of led lights. My cpu is currently around 30celius idle. Can be tough to install if you don't have any experience.

I have nothing negative to say about the CoreLiquid 240R. If I really have to stretch for something, the plastic cover on the cooling plate feels cheap. However, it rotates (so the RGB logo can be adjusted to the correct orientation, regardless of installation and mobo positioning, and because the pump isn't on top of the cooling plate, there's no worry about vibration. The pump is located in the center of the radiator, so you can effectively install this in any orientation, and not worry about reduction in liquid volume over time negatively affecting the life of the pump. Every time I move my PC, I do rotate the whole thing so that any air bubbles move out of the CPU cooling plate assembly, as it could affect cooling performance, in theory. It's kept my 3900X consistently between 68C and 80C under full sustained load (hours long video encodes that keep all 12 processors at 100%).

Not bad for the price, wish best buy had a few more options but for the price it works as advertised. I did have to RMA a unit but it was handled fairly quick

These are great liquid coolers for the price. The fans are quiet and the colors are soothing. Easy to install and no troubleshooting required. Perfect with my new mobo and a real joy to use and look at. Love them so far.

epic cooler keeps my CPU cool and running at low percentage even during gaming. amazing price, the RBG settings are easy and look AMAZING its the only rbg I have in my setup currently and it lights up my entire PC 10/10

I got this for my buddy as a Christmas present, and at first it was great. Pretty cheap and kept his CPU super cool while looking sick. The problem was that it suddenly died a few weeks ago (4 months after purchase). We think it was a sediment blockage which MSI apparently knew about and had a recall program for, although they denied him a replacement.

NOTICEABLY better cooling performance! I never knew how hot my MSI desktop was getting until I installed the MSI software. My machine with the stock 120mm AIO cooler was running at 88-92 degrees C with no load! I decided to replace the stock AIO with this beast and it made a world of difference. My machine now runs at 69-70 degrees C and my office is WAY warmer. I guess my stock AIO was keeping all of that warmth inside my CPU. I highly recommend this AIO. Now I need to get another fan to cool my office down. The cooler was a cinch to install and it looks pretty clean.
