Antec Neptune 240 AIO Liquid Cooler Review

How Much Does it Cost?

Available for £79.99, the Antec Neptune 240 is, quite frankly, exceptionally good value for money. I’ll openly admit that until this point in the review, I had no idea how much this retailed for, and, having learned this now, I can only say that I expected at least £20 extra on the price tag! – I am seriously impressed that Antec has been able to sell what is clearly a high-quality cooler for such a comparatively small amount of money!

Put simply, at this price point, I’d honestly be struggling to come up with better alternatives in the 240 AIO market.

Overview

As seen in our performance testing, while the Antec Neptune 240 wasn’t the ‘best’ we’ve seen in any one particular aspect, when combining noise, aesthetics, and temperature control, we’d happily describe this as one of the best ‘overall’ coolers around at the moment.

It’s sleek, stylish, handles your CPU requirements, and, perhaps best of all, does so while making barely a whisper of noise! Again, with that price tag thrown on top of all that goodness, the Antec Neptune 240 is honestly amazing in every area of importance!

Should I Buy One?

Antec has really hit the ball out of the park with the Neptune 240. At the risk of sounding like we’re waxing lyrical over the design, it’s honestly hard to find any fault with it and, again, for the price this retails at, it’s honestly amazing!

For every requirement you could want out of a CPU cooler, the Antec Neptune 240 puts a colossally huge checkmark in the box and, unless you were to enter the realms of £100+ price points, this is, without a doubt, one of the best cooling options around at the moment!

Put simply, it looks fantastic and that remit is equally matched (if not exceeded) in every other aspect you could imagine or require!

Pros

  • Excellent aesthetics whether the RGB light show is on or off!
  • Amazing value for money. High-tier performance for mid-range money
  • Antec has clearly spared no expense in this design – Everything just screams of quality!
  • Whisper quiet acoustic performance
  • Highly suitable for stock or overclocked processors

Cons

  • The manual is (at times) very unclear in the installation process

Neutral

  • RGB hub controller isn’t the most ideal ‘hook-up’ for the fans.
