Cooler Master has released the Elite Liquid 240 CPU cooler, which follows the older Elite Liquid 360 model. The unit maintains identical aesthetics, though two colorways are available—black and white—and the 240mm size is available in both options.
The Elite Liquid series provides cooling capacity suitable for standard use situations, although performance is not highlighted as exceptional. Despite its standard performance, the cooler offers an affordable and customizable option with muted aesthetics and ARGB illumination. Installation is made easier by the pre-installed thermal paste and the inclusion of pre-installed fans.
However, users must manually connect the fans due to the proprietary cabling. While performance is considered to be within the bounds of the testing system, it is noted that it is not exceptional. This value-priced AIO cooler is currently priced at $64.99 from a favorite online retailer. Based on a review of its features, the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 received a rating of 7 out of 10.
Key features noted include budget pricing and ARGB lighting. On the positive side, the cooler comes with pre-installed, daisy-chained fans. Conversely, potential drawbacks include the fans not being factory-wired and the operation being described as loud.
