Review on 💦 Enhanced Performance with MSI MAG Series CORELIQUID 240R, aRGB CPU Liquid Cooler (AIO): Advanced Rotatable Blockhead Design, 240mm Radiator, Dual 120mm aRGB PWM Fans - Boost Your PC's Cooling Efficiency! by Mark Erandio

This is my first experience with a closed loop AIO cooling system and I am very satisfied. Chassis Lian Li 205M. I set up the front of the AIO so that the exit notches are on top. I didn't like how it looked top mounted in this case, which got in the way of the top of the board and the frame. Yes I've seen relevant GN videos, the fact that the MSI aio had a pump mounted in the middle of the heatsink heavily influenced my decision to use it with a block design pump instead of the others. The pump is currently running at 100% DC and the fans are running on a curve ranging from 30-75% and the system is running stably after running Prime 95 for half an hour in a 20°C room with a CPU temp of ±70 °C. Could be more aggressive with fan speed but don't see a good reason for it. At these settings, the pump is almost inaudible and the fans only slightly audible. I also picked up a set of rubber washers to fit between the case and heatsink during installation. Pros: - No obvious adverse effects from the notched front mount - Fits well in my theme system - Good value for money, I was also considering high end air coolers. Cons: - The supplied thermal paste was too thick, ended up using a different brand. - Would have preferred a more secure AM4 mounting solution.
