MSI MAG CORELIQUID 240R V2 AIO CPU Liquid Cooler - Rotatable ARGB Blockhead, Integrated Radiator Pump, Split-Flow Water Cooling, Evaporation-Proof Tubing, Easy to Install - AMD & Intel Compatible

Installed this on a ryzen 7600x am5 cpu and does the job very well.It keeps cpu under 80 degrees all the time on heavy loads.It comes with pre applied thermal pad and clean instructions.The lcd screen adds a lot of style, is customisable and it gives you a lot of useful system informations such as cpu / gpu temps, load. Can also display a text or personalized animation on it.The fans are aRGB which and can be controlled via mysticlight or of your desired software.Only issue i had was the need to remove little corner rubbers on one side fron the radiator otherwise it wont fit in my msi mid tower case.The pump fan also does a noticeable noise but is perfectly normal.

Great CPU cooler! It has a very premium feel, with high-quality materials, and the LCD screen is a lot of fun to customize - I didn't even miss RGB lights thanks to it. With that in mind, I'd say it was worth the price and would recommend it to anyone who wants a great CPU cooler and likes to have everything customized.One thing that I wish the manual told you is that, while screwing the 3 fans into the base, you shouldn't do it one fan at a time, but instead have all 3 fans in position with the screws right above their holes, and then alternate between tightening each of them little by little. If you do it one by one, you'll find that the rubber from one fan will end up covering the screw hole for the next fan due to pressure from the screws.Connecting the cooler to my AM5 CPU was quite easy, but you might want to use some cable ties for the cables that power the 3 fans, as they can be a bit awkward to manage and are quite a bit longer than they needed to be. While that's better than having cables that are too short, it would be nice if the fans plugged into each other magnetically so you only needed to connect a cable to one of them. But this is only a minor annoyance during installation, so the cooler still deserves 5 stars.

Ignore the photo as such as I took pictures during the build stage of this particular PC.I needed a cooler for this build but I didn't want to spend £100's on it, so seeing a cooler for £100 with an LCD screen, I thought "Well, it's rude not to.", so grabbed it I did.In terms of packaging, it's pretty much what you'd expect an AIO to be boxed in - you have all the necessary fittings for Intel or AMD - in this case, it went on an AM5 socket.Installation was easy as such - the cabling is a bit much but you should be able to see it was relatively clean even with multiple cables coming off the block. As per the description, there's a fan over the CPU plus the two on the radiator (RGB) which were wired directly to the motherboard.Having the PC set to auto, the fans are relatively quiet (there's 5 x 120mm fans on the PC plus the block fan, plus the 3 graphics card fans) and certainly aren't obtrusive. The CPU (7900X3D) sits around 47-50 degrees and hasn't seemed to get overly hot (which TBH is expected) - I don't keep too much of an eye on it but haven't seen it go above 60 - but again, not like I watch it like a hawk. Having RGB fans is fine (you can obviously turn them off or not even cable that side of things) and as yet I don't have any concerns from that perspective.The LCD is useful - you can have it displaying your favourite meme, or information like the CPU temps - the choice is yours. It's arguably a bit ostentatious but I like to build things I've never had/used so that I know if something works, works well or is garbage. I'm more than happy with this AIO though and would use it (or the 360) in another build quite happily.

An armour plate (3) on the pump is just fallen off immediately in a first run of heavy tests. It has been attached just with glue. Not a good design.The temperature is okay, but causes throttling of a few cores under +1 auto-overclocking by gaming mode in the bios (up to 320W). Which is pretty decent, but it should hold cool better 300W+. After undervolting which is MUSH HAVE (250-260W) temps returns to normal with the same performance.It's deserved 2 stars, temps are decent (expected better). I wouldn't say it's 100% must go. Worth only on Black Friday aka deals.

I bought the 360 version as, at the time, it was only marginally more expensive than the 240 and my case has a 360 front facing radiator capacity.It's cooling a meagre Ryzen 5 5600X that's mildly overclocked so it's a bit overkill but it's cooling it superbly. Idle I'm seeing 34-36 degrees average against an ambient 23 degrees. and under load (Modern Warfare, Ghost Recon) it's never peaked above 65 degrees.I'm sure the 240 would have sufficed for the 5600X but at the price it made sense as it looks great at the front of the case in a pull configuration. The cold air being drawn through is also blasting across the GPU back plate which will be helping there too.Install was easy enough, they really need to start supplying longer hoses on these things though and getting the long screws through the case then the fans and into the rad was a bit of a ball ache. But once seated everything else was a breeze.Note: If you are installing on an AM4 board you need to have the original AM4 retention brackets.
