Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240mm AIO CPU Cooler Review

A Closer Look

The first thing we noticed about the MasterLiquid is that it’s seriously heavy, at least for a 240mm AIO. The pump housing is pretty tall, as it uses a special dual-chamber design, and this no doubt adds to the weight. The tubing is super flexible, but incredibly durable, and comes with an anti-kink covering.

The pump design is really nice, with one hose attached to the top section, and the other to the bottom section, but you’ll also notice a small bridge pipe on the right, which links the two sections.

There’s a clear top section with an LED light behind it, behind which you can see some of the shape of the pump housing.

Each tube is mounted on a pivot to help ease the installation process, and there’s some neat and tidy rubber coating applied to keep things nice and secure, and obviously leak free.

The copper base plate is huge, and this plays no small part in the extra weight of the block. It’s quite thick, and will no doubt help greatly in shifting excess heat from your CPU to the water chamber inside the pump.

The radiator is a new design for Cooler Master, as is pretty much every aspect of this cooler actually. It’s a fairly standard 240mm form factor, but the main difference is the squared finish on the end blocks, as well as the square fin array layout, which is said to help improve the way airflow strips heat from the radiator.

More durable fittings on the radiator end, as well as a refill loop. The loop does have a warranty sticker on it, but hey, if you want to get in there, you can.

The tubing has a really nice finish to it too, and with a good length that should work well in large or small chassis designs.

Down the side of the radiator, the Cooler Master logo for you to show off; dependant on your chassis orientation of course.
