Antec Kuhler K240 AIO CPU Cooler Review

Final Thoughts


Pricing

At the time of writing, the retail stock wasn’t quite available. However, we know it’s going to be around the same as their existing range. You can expect a price of around £60 to £70, and possibly less than that. We’ll update you soon as we have links.

Overview

Overall, I think Antec has done a great job on this cooler. It’s nothing too crazy regarding design, but there are a few unique tweaks that have been made to set it apart from the crowd. It’s going to be friendly to your wallet, it got competitive performance and it looks pretty good too.

Build Quality

Moving the pump from the CPU block to the radiator is an excellent design choice. It seems to limit the noise from the pump too, as it hides it behind a big chunk of metal. Moving the power cable from the CPU block to the radiator cleans up the aesthetics also, one less cable dragging over the motherboard!

Performance

It’s not the coolest, it’s not even the quietest, but it’s certainly competitive. It keeps up with a few other similar size AIO coolers, and even some that cost more. When it comes to overclocking, a 240mm AIO is more than enough, and the K240 was more than capable.

Aesthetics

A low profile pump design is always beautiful. However, add some thickly braided tubing, some shiny chrome mounting kit, and some slick blue LED fans, and you can’t go wrong. The clean lines of the radiator are the final winner though, and a far cry from the Antec radiators from a few years back.

Pros

  • Competitive performance
  • Reasonable overclocking capabilities
  • Quiet fans
  • Low pump noise
  • Braided cables
  • Pump housed in radiator
  • Blue LED lighting
  • Affordable price

Cons

  • Unable to find stock at retailers

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
