Die Leute beschweren sich immer darber, dass AIOs laut sind. Die Sache ist AIO und Stille kommt nie zusammen. Dieser AIO ist laut, aber Sie knnen die Geschwindigkeit seiner Lfter steuern. Das habe ich getan, es ist jetzt nicht laut und nicht hei. Das Beste an diesem Produkt ist, dass es bei weitem einfach zu installieren ist. Ich habe 6 verschiedene AIOs fr meine Purebase 600 ausprobiert. Entweder haben sie einen zu groen Khler oder sie sind zu teuer. Dieses spezielle Modell wrde in die meisten Mid-Tower passen und seine Kabel baumeln nicht, sodass es einfacher durch die winzigen Lcher der Rckplatte gefhrt werden kann. Dank Cooler Master musste ich meine CPU-Sockelhalterungen nicht komplett austauschen. Sieht fantastisch aus und funktioniert perfekt.

So my old alseye tower fan just wasn’t cutting cool g my i7 4790 at full boost in games reaching temps of close to 90 sometimes just over with this temps have not even reached 70 easy to install alot easier than my air cooling counter part can not recommend enough
This was a great value purchase for what you get!
Downside is that you have to TOTALLY dismantle the pc (or at least remove the motherboard) to get to the back of the CPU to change the mountain bracket.
What I didn’t like however, was you have to remove the square lockdown CPU surround (that holds down the processor) in order to fit the mounting bracket for this… That results in the CPU relying totally on the coolerpump to hold it in place with thermal paste. (I.e. If you remove the pump, the CPU lifts out too stuck to the underside of it by the thermal paste).
The fans are a little noisy, but…. Because this runs much more cooler than the heatpipe/fan setup it had from factory the fans are slower mostly. Only more noise when ramped up.
I do like it… and it does run cooler and was a good price… So that overrules the negatives in my mind. BUT I can’t believe they make you remove that CPU lock down. Not impressed with that part of it.
Looking around I found the Cooler Master Master Liquid Lite 240 CPU Liquid Cooler and it was the best solution I came across. I went ahead with the purchase despite a number of one star reviews saying that they leak, the pump/fans are noisy or fail, the fans are impossible to screw into the radiator and whatever. My experience was and has been the reverse so far. It arrived on time, packaging great with the pump, radiator and fans well secured. It all looked like quality kit and the fans could be EASILY fitted to accommodate a push or pull configuration depending on what case or set up you required. As for noisy fans, I have to keep checking that they are actually turning as they are so quiet in normal desktop and gaming use. Installed and running since mid January and only good things to report. If that changes I will eat my words and update this review. But for now my advice is don’t overlook this one if you need a non RGB AIO cooler.
The actual CPU cooler and radiator are great, they keep the CPU frosty cool, never exceeding 44oC at full load for 30 minutes… however the fans were noisy, vibrated a lot and therefore caused my case to make a high pitched whine… once I replaced the fans, the noise and vibration went away and I got my sanity back.
I went for this cooler because the stock cooler just wasn’t cutting it in game. During one session of Division 2 the temps were hitting the 80s so I thought I’d invest in something new.
I was deciding between this and the V2 but went for the v1 instead because of the price gap
One thing to note is I’d never built a pc before, so I knew what I was looking for but no idea how to implement it. Anyway it turns out it was simpler than I thought.
I removed the stock cooler, cleaned the CPU, installed the brackets that came with the mother board, one blob of thermal paste connected it and there you have it. Now temps barely touch 58 du omg intensive games and it’s idling between 30-40 degrees.
One thing I did was change the stock fan that came with the cooler. The fan has noisy bearings and I already had a set of deep cool fans in my case so went with that. The only sound I have now is the sound of the pump which really doesn’t bother me at all because it really isn’t loud.
I’ll definitely upgrade to something better in future but for now this will do me.
When the product is on idling. Yes, I agree it’s nice and quiet.
But, when you work the processor and it ramps the fan to 100%, it’s quite noisy.
I’ve added an additional fan in a push/pull configuration to either side of the radiator to drop the overall speed of the fan, and this has reduced the noise quite a bit! It seems to be after around 80% power you start to really hear it.
I don’t think it’s the sound of the fan you are hearing, but the actual wind, air pressure caused by it spinning so fast (2200RPM max!). So the added combination of a Push/pull combination fan solves that.
Even better if you can control them all via PWM to ensure they don’t get to 100% unless they have too!
So hence the value for money, it is a good priced set and if you’re not working your PC 100% of the time, it’s great! But I am, so I needed the extra fan to keep it as quiet as I’d have liked out the box!
It was not the ewasiest to mount: The AMD mounting system is finicky and a bit annoying, but the mount is secure and stable
The build quality is okay, but not stellar: the tubes are kind of ugly, but you can see them ion the pictures, overall it’s good enough and blends in very well
Packaging was great, everything came in completely intact and after 3 months there’s not a sign of any leaks or damages.
One little note: It makes a weird noise for the first few hours while the water circulates for the first time and the air bleeds from the pump, so just have a bit of patience
Overall: Excellent, great price, amazing performance and totally recommend it.
Installation is very simple on an AM4 motherboard. The heat sink just clips and tightens on and the radiator mounts easily with the long screws provided. I use the sata cable to power the pump and this is, again, very easy to do.
This results in a very clean, tidy and professional looking build. The pump has a nice white glow from the writing and the tubes, whilst not the best looking, do not stand out.
The noise from the pump is a bit louder than a Corsair but at sitting distance it’s not noticeable. The fan is pretty quiet but can get a bit loud. Although I only found this out from manually increasing the speed.
Everything seems pretty good so far. But then comes the performance. It’s not great. To put this in to context, I am using a Ryzen 3600 and an msi B450m that will not allow me to set custom fan curves after the bios update.
I had previously been using a cheaper 212 Evo turbo (2 fans) and temps were decent even when overclocked and gaming. Touching 80-85c on a hot day. Without overclocking it stayed ~70c.
The cooler master was getting to 91c overclocked. 80c when not. I had to check to make sure the thermal paste was applied correctly.
As I said, this was with hot weather but stills shows the huge difference in cooling. From experience I have found most 120mm water coolers are bested by air coolers of similar cost. What makes this one particularly bad is the fan.
Changing the fan to a Artic P12 lowered the temperature by 3-4c and with less noise. That may not sound amazing but 76c looks better than 80c. But when you start increasing the cost then you start loosing the value this provides.
Overall it’s not designed for the latest 12 threaded processor. It doesn’t provide cooling on par with cheaper air coolers. That said, installation is easy, it looks very nice in a case, you have water cooling and it will cool any 8 thread processor absolutely fine.
As the cheapest liquid cooler I could find it’s good even if limited.
I bought this to replace an older, similar Cooler-Master water-cooled heatsink which had broken down (pump failure) and the difference was immediate and very satisfying. I bought my original intel-based tower system back in 2015 with the express intention of having a quieter box because the whine from the cooling fans was giving me a headache. So when the new (in 2015) system arrived I was very happy.
Unnoticed by me, the tower box slowly got noisier because, I presume, the heat pump on the CoolerMaster system was gradually failing, causing the paired fan to work harder to compensate. Eventually the system fell over with a hardware failure message, identifying a “CPU Fan Failure” which I interpreted as a pump failure since the paired fan was still spinning. The CPU temperature was creeping up from 68 dec C, 69, 70…so I powered it off before the thing melted on me.
I read the previous reviews about this system having a noisy pump but I had to get a replacement quickly and this one was one of the few available with Prime delivery, so I took a chance. The kit arrived with all the parts necessary for 3 different Intel mounts and an AMD option, plus a small tube of thermal paste to apply to the interface between CPU and heatsink. There’s more than enough paste – I didn’t quite use the whole tube. NOTE: if replacing an existing part (as opposed to building a new system) you’ll need to buy a two part paste removal and cleaning kit to take the old paste off first.
With the new heatsink in place, my system sounds like it did when new – ie amazingly quiet! The maximum CPU temperature I’ve seen since fitting it is now 38 deg C. I can’t hear the pump clicking, but my box is under my desk so I’d suggest that’s not a issue unless you have your tower box next to your face – in which case the pump noise is the least of your worries….

I probably could’ve gotten away with just replacing the thermal compound on my old Hyper 212 Evo that had a stock Cooler Master fan. But, to be honest, it’s also a pain to work around inside of the case, and I also intend to upgrade to Ryzen some time soon. So I decided to retire the Hyper 212 Evo, and go AiO with this MasterLiquid Lite 120.
As far as assembly and installation goes. It was simple to put the necessary brackets on for my CPU, although I wish they had some kind of grommets to help keep the backplate in place–it’s a bit of a challenge with just two hands. This, however won’t affect my rating.
Installation of the radiator was a bit of a headache, but that’s more down to my case, the CM 690 II Advanced (USB 3). Near the rear fan mount, there’s a clip that I guess is meant for cable management, if you’re only going to use a rear exhaust fan, and doesn’t facilitate a radiator that well. So I had to get a little creative to ensure the area was flat enough that I could screw/secure the radiator. Whether intentionally or not, I had enough accessories/fittings that I could easily go for a push/pull config.
That stock fan that comes with the MasterLiquid Lite 120 is audible. But honestly, while gaming with a headset on, it hasn’t bothered me. Some may want to consider buying a third-party/aftermarket fan, such as a Corsair Air Series SP120. The pump is only really audible on initial boot.
Some quick results–not super scientific. I ran Cinebench a few times:
Hyper 212 Evo: FX-8320 @ 4.2GHz and 1.42v–48C at idle, up to 71C at full load (100% all cores)
MasterLiquid Lite 120: FX-8320 @ 4.4GHz and 1.39v–28C at idle, 51C at full load (100% all cores)
I didn’t use the thermal compound that came with the MasterLiquid, however. I decided to use Noctua NT-H1.
While running games such as Mass Effect 2, which don’t max out all cores. I played for several hours with the temps being between 38-41C.
I’d happily give it a 5/5 rating.
UPDATE:
I’ve since made some major upgrades to my system. I’m now using this with a R7 2700X @ 4GHz. It idles at between 35-40C, and at full load reaches 56C.
I’m using a corsair 350d windowless, which is a micro ATX case and flows air very well. Space is tight near the motherboard, so I didn’t go for the larger ML240L, however this ML120L fit so easily I think the larger one would have fit. The Radiator isn’t too thick, and is easily mounted on either the top or back of the case. I opted for the back, simply because sometimes my cat likes to chill on top of my case and i didn’t want it blocked off. Some reviews have complained about the fan noise, however it doesn’t seem all that bad but that could just be because my fan is yet to run at a high rpm. The pipes feel sturdy and although the heatsink face is plastic it feels high quality. the system is very quiet, but not silent, you will hear the occasional sound from the pump, however to me that’s just reassurance that it’s doing its job. It also comes with a small amount of thermal paste, but no alcohol wipes.
Fitting this cooler is a breeze, however, as other reviews have stated when fitting to a 115X socket the rear bracket is either poorly designed, or the fitting instructions are incorrect. However it does still fit, but you have to set the rear bracket up for a different socket (I cant remember which), but it DOES fit, and it fits well. The clever use of thumb screws for the fan and heatsink is great and makes installation quick. Despite building a few PCs i was a little daunted by setting up the LED functions, however it is straight forward, and the LEDs look great and I was surprised at the variation of colours, especially with the pulse mode.
This cooler replaced a standard air cooled heatsink. Using Kingdom Come deliverance on high settings, and core temp to monitor my CPU, temps would rise to around 73’C, however the highest reading I’ve had with this water cooler is 49’C. I was pretty amazed considering this is such a small cooler. idle temps are not much different.
Overall not bad at all for the price, however for around an extra 10 you can get the larger radiator which is around twice the size, so if you have the room in your case that might be better value for money.
The fans included with the cooler are a mixed bag. On the plus side, they are PWM 4-pin fans and seem to be of reasonable build quality, however, they will start screaming when hitting higher RPMs. If controlled with a modest fan curve (~24-30% seems to be the sweet spot on idle to around 50-60% on load), they will remain largely relatively quiet and keep the radiator quite cool. Personally — considering the low price tag — I don’t believe they are of bad enough quality to deduct a star.
So, the big question remains: temperatures? I applied the cooler onto a Ryzen 1700 that has been OC’ed to 3.9 GHz. Compared to a Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 that I had previously, the MasterLiquid Lite 240 AIO knocked 21 degrees off at idle (34 vs. 55 degrees), and a respectable 12 degrees off when stress tested with Furmark for 10 mins (61 vs. 73 degrees). I suspect that the load temperatures observed would have been improved further with a more aggressive fan curve. Please note that both coolers were applied using Gelid GC Extreme thermal paste, your mileage may vary with the stock paste included.
tl;dr: It’s a fantastic AIO for those looking for a quiet and cost-effective cooler for overclocking or managing temperatures on their CPU. Recommended!
