Cooler Master 240 Core II
Cooler Master 240 Core II Review & Specifications
The Cooler Master 240 Core II by Cooler Master is a Liquid CPU cooler designed for compatibility with LGA 1700, LGA 1851, AM4, AM5 sockets.
This liquid cooler uses a high-efficiency CPU block made of Copper for optimal heat transfer. It features a 240 radiator with dimensions of 157 x 119.2 x 27 mm, paired with 2 fan(s) of 120 mm each. The fan(s) operate at a maximum speed of 1750 RPM with a noise level of 30.0 dBA, achieving a total airflow of 71.0 CFM. Please ensure your PC case can accommodate the radiator size and mounting configuration. You can check compatibility with our PC Builder, which filters cases based on radiator size. Aesthetically, this CPU cooler includes RGB lighting for customizable illumination, adding visual flair to your system build. The cooler is backed by a 5-year warranty, providing long-term reliability and manufacturer support.
Performance
Cooler Master 240 Core II is a high-end performance liquid CPU cooler built for CPUs with a TDP exceeding 200 W, delivering an excellent relative cooling performance score of 85.00%. It is particularly well-suited for high-end gaming PCs, as it helps exhaust heat directly outside the case, improving internal airflow and thermal headroom for powerful GPUs. While it can be used in workstation builds, caution is advised due to inherently lower reliability compared to air coolers. Liquid coolers offer top-tier thermal performance, often unmatched by air coolers, but come with increased complexity, more moving parts (such as the pump), a risk of coolant leakage, and a higher likelihood of requiring maintenance over time.
Cost-Effectiveness
In terms of performance per dollar, the Cooler Master 240 Core II offers excellent value for a liquid cooler, achieving 54.2% efficiency relative to the best-performing air cooler in the performance-per-price category. Note: Liquid coolers generally have a lower performance-to-price ratio due to their more complex design and higher manufacturing costs. Despite this, this model represents an excellent cost-effective option for users seeking the benefits of liquid cooling.
