Review on DEEPCOOL 240PRO V2 Controller Motherboard by Robert Buenconsejo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great cooler, but there are issues with the AM4 mount.

Great cooler as the RGB and color change on the pump are very nice to look at. Fans work well, no leaks. My normal load temperature for my AMD 5800x is 55-60 degrees Celsius as my CPU is clocked at 4.1-4.8 GHz. The highest temperature I saw during a heavy load was 78 degrees Celsius at a constant frequency of 4.8 GHz. This cooler does its job well and cools 8 cores. However, this would have been a 5 star rating if the AM4 motherboard mount wasn't so restrictive. It looks like the pump is designed for Intel motherboards as you can only rotate the pump in 2 vertical directions for AM4 motherboards. Not only that, but the bottom tube of the pump is pressed against one of the mounting bolts (as shown in the picture). This seems to be considered a common lazy "slip" on AM4 motherboards by DEEPCOOL engineers, as it surprisingly works when the copper plate makes contact with the processor. to fit it into your PC case with an AM4 motherboard, so you may need to reconsider where to place the heatsink. This would be the perfect RGB water cooler if the mounting system wasn't so strict. I'm not tampering with the mount, but the tubes being pressed against the mounting screw are indeed a future problem for my PC. I'm even considering replacing/replacing this cooler based on these concerns.
