CHEAP 240MM AIO - Cooler Master ML240 V2 Review - TechteamGB

[@chaunceystewart9960]

This cooler is decent. However, I would suggest using the bios to adjust the fan and pump speed because at stock it is really noticeable.

[@xMaluko]

Do you have a suggestion on what to change it to?

[@Holden2Epic]

are you suggesting to increase its speed or decrease it? You say noticeable so I'm assuming you mean noise. But at the same time, idk why you'd want to sacrifice low temps for less noise; it doesn't make sense to me. Please explain

[@gmfcstu]

I got this one with a full build I ordered so having avoided the pains of mounting myself and dealing with the cables, I'm quite happy.

[@akakerness6396]

Connecting the cables seem to be difficult at first. Me, having big and fat fingers made it difficult. But once you do it, you realize that it's easy.

UPDATE: 4/7/22 Both AIO are still running strong and every day. Have seen no measurable degredation in performance. Just have to keep the radiators clean, along with the fans every 6 months or so. 2018 and 2019 build dates.

[@TheNegativeDude]

For those who are looking into getting this and have the mistake of buying 11th gen intel CPUs. this runs the i7-11700k at 40-45 degrees on idle and around 65 degrees when gaming at around 60 fps. it has this annoying fan buzzing noise. but otherwise its quiet as long as you go into the motherboard and use smart fan control or the pump will always run on max. looking to replace it with the arctic liquid freezer 2.

[@TheDBNpoison]

Did you do that replacement? I'm looking to do the same but may just go with a 360mm AIO this time

[@TheNegativeDude]

@@TheDBNpoison I did. Arctic Freezer II is amazing. 30-33 ide temps. And thats just the 240mm AIO. 360 should be even better. though maybe noisier since it has 3 fans. I run the CPU fans at around 660 RPM on idle or when browsing. Cant hear anything. 280 or 360 mm is when this thing truly shines. Go for it!

[@TheDBNpoison]

@@TheNegativeDude Awesome sounds like a good upgrade. Probably going to pair a AF II 280 or 360mm with a Ryzen 5900X after the new zen4 CPUs are released. Hoping to grab a steal there. For now the CM 240 is still doing me solid. Full load at around 69C @ 4.4ghz from my 3700X. Thanks for the info!

[@TheProductCritiques]

Hey there! Thanks for the detailed review of the Cooler Master ML240 V2. It's great to know that it offers good cooling performance and runs quietly. The price point seems reasonable as well. However, I share your concerns about the mounting method and the cable mess. Those are aspects that could be improved, but as you mentioned, for a budget cooler, it's still a solid option. I appreciate your thorough testing and the information you provided about compatibility and installation. It's always helpful for potential buyers to have these details. I'm interested in knowing more about your experience with it in the long term, so if you have any updates or further insights down the line, please do share. Thanks for the review!

I am also right now changing one and I have ordered the exact same one which is the first one I do have from CoolerMaster. I have had good experiences with their CPU coolers and I also did love my Enermax Watercoolers but I will try this one now since this had happened to the third Enermax that I have owned and this time It was a pc that was standing around for over a year and noone touched it. And it ran nice but now has heat issues and I found out the water is spashing inside when I lift the radiator so it clearly did lose alot of water for basically no reason as it was only standing around not being connected or touched at all.

Sorry mate, but to call the standard AMD mounting method this cooler uses "a pain" is simply absurd. Four screws to fit two brackets and you're done. Couldn't be easier or simpler, and that AMD hook bracket mount just works. Simple is good. Easy to fit, remove or adjust tension. Why make it more complex than it needs to be.

I bought this cooler a few days ago and I cannot stress this enough. Do Not Buy This. It might be just me, but that won't stop me from writing this review. Whenever my AIO's fans accelerate it literally sounds like they're about to fall apart, they rattle like no other and it's very distracting and frustrating. It's also very loud when at high speeds. It's not worth the money at all. In my opinion better spend an extra few bucks on something else than a CoolerMaster.

[@srymybad]

Try adjusting the fan curve in BIOS. I had the same issues with my old MOBO and had to adjust the fan curve so it wasn't as aggressive. When I got a new MOBO it seemed to manage the fans much better and I was able to get an even better fan curve and now the fans are far less noisy.

@@raider2105 definately go for the fans first

[@srymybad]

Go for a Dark Rock Slim or a smaller Noctua fan cooler if that one doesn't fit, 3700x and 3070 are a good combo I wouldn't cheap out on a cooler.

[@raider2105]

@@srymybad If I'm honest haven't been able to get a 3070 and not paying the inflated price anyway, got a GT 710 and am playing emulator games quite nicely from PS2, and still have the stock wraith prism cooler on the 3700x, haven't seen it get above 70 degrees, got 2 intake fans, 3 exhaust and 2 for the gpu, airflow is great and can't fault the stock cooler, the RGB is pretty cool too, even if mystic light sucks and randomly changes the scheme :D

Will I get good performance, sound and temperature if paired with Intel Core i5-9600K 9TH GEN?

[@astralcomet1]

With 6 cores, I would assume so.

[@ap4702]

is it good for cpu overclocking?

[@imbillythompson]

Is there rgb settings? E.g can I have it as just red or just white or blue etc

[@nextrackter1519]

you control the RGB with the controller

Can someone tell me if this exact liquid cooler supports the B550m motherboard ?

[@odd02]

Yes it should cause B550 boards still uses AM4 socket.

[@shionmasamune8568]

Would this work well with a 3700x ?

[@raijin2950]

If it works for a 3900x as demonstrated it the video which has a TDP of 105w then it will work even better with 3700x which has a TDP of 65w, it draws less power so produces less heat. You should be able to comfortably overclock a 3700x with this cooler if you wanted to. If you're overclocking for the first time watch a tutorial video. Id reccomend the JayzTwoCents Ryzen overclocking guide.

what is a good cooler for an i7 8700?

[@HALIGOAT_]

Hyper 212 Evo for budget, ML240 AIO for mid-range or Noctua UH14s if you're not into AIOs. Any AIO above $100 will perform relatively similar so knock your socks off.

@@HALIGOAT_ what is a good cooler for ryzen 5 3600

[@HALIGOAT_]

hatdog :p The stock cooler can maintain it at base speeds and won’t present any thermal issues, if you’re looking to spend some money in an aftermarket cooler go for a Hyper 212 Evo or Corsair H60 for budget liquid cooling. I recommend going for a DH14-15 from Noctua for practicality and performance but any liquid cooler above $70 and brand name will suffice

[@furanaidynamics]

So long as it's an LGA Socket, the AIO will come with the correct standoffs, so yes. It does.

I would recommend using the stock cooler with a ryzen 5 spend the extra 80 $ on more storage

[@a30quad22]

Or accessories

[@darkphoenix1111]

That depends. If you want to overclock then sure. Otherwise just use the stock cooler. Or if you really want a third party cooler but not as expensive get the cooler master hyper 212(black edition if you wanna spend a little more)

Just use whatever rgb software you use for your motherboard to control rgb case fans. I use RGB Fusion with a Gigabyte motherboard.
