Antec Neptune 240 AIO Liquid Cooler Review

Performance

The results seen for the Antec Neptune 240 are (arguably) some of the best (overall) we have seen for quite some time. Offering excellent levels of temperature control at both stock and overclocked settings, as you can see from the charts below, this cooler performs every bit as well at temperature control as its excellent aesthetics and design would suggest.

The single biggest stand-out aspect, however, has to be acoustic control. Put simply, the Antec Neptune 240 is amazingly quiet. I can honestly say that at stock levels, I could barely hear this running at all, and for a two fan AIO design, that’s exceptionally impressive.

The noise levels did, as you might expect, occasionally spike when the CPU temperatures rose a little, but within a system chassis, I don’t honestly think you’d hear this running at all when performing day to day tasks! There wasn’t even the ‘water gurgle’ you sometimes hear from AIO coolers and I’ll certainly mention that as a huge thumbs up!

So, taking the results as a whole, the Antec Neptune 240 is amazingly impressive in practically every level of its operation!
