Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240R RGB Water Cooling Kit

Overview

As such, it's not fancy flashing lights that make the ML240R RGB so good: it's the high performance and outstanding quietness. Truth be told we still slightly prefer the classy looks and simpler installation of the Kraken X62, but for those with more colourful tastes and a willingness to do some extra cable tidying, this is everything you could ask for.

What do we think of the MasterLiquid ML240R RGB? We love it. Being able to defeat our Noctua NH-D15 is already a feat in its own right, and the ARGB lighting? Perfect. Available for RM415 on Lazada, the MasterLiquid ML240R RGB is even more affordable...
