Enermax ELC 240 Liquid CPU Cooler Review

It is worth noting Enermax only include 8 fan screws. This means anyone looking to push-pull will need to acquire 8 more to do that. Although, Enermax do provide anti-vibration rubber pads to keep the ELC 240 nice and quiet which compensates to some degree.

The installation procedure on the Enermax ELC 240 is very simple. You pick the correct mounting holes based on your socket and platform (all of which are clearly labelled in the manual), you then add the provided silver threaded screw fasteners and place this on the back of your motherboard. Once the backplate is correctly in place you then have to pick the correct mounting bracket for the pump. The choice is again Intel or AMD, the only downside of the mounting bracket installation is that unlike Asetek units there is no retention ring to hold it into place. This means it can easily become a tricky procedure trying to hold the backplate and mounting bracket in place whilst simultaneously trying to screw the mounting screws into the backplate. Overall though, thanks to the notches and locking mechanism on the pump, you do end up with a very strong and clean looking mount which gives good contact  and 100% RAM compatibility.

System compatibility with respect to the radiator will depend on your case, motherboard and a whole other range of options.
