Verdict and Conclusion
When it comes to cooling performance, I was pretty stunned by the Antec Neptune 240 All-in-One ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler. It far exceeded my expectations, and managed to cool our Intel Core i9-10900K to super cool temperature of 75 degrees Celsius at full load. This is the lowest I’ve achieved for an Intel Core i9-10900K, thanks to a ultra-thin CPU water block with 0.8mm copper fins, with cooling provided by a 240mm radiator that has an integrated built-in water pump, as well as two ARGB PWM fans (900-1600 rpp) giving you a max airflow of 77CFM.
As far looks and aesthetics are concerned, the CPU water block comes with a silver design top featuring an Antec logo with RGB. This along with the ARGB fans, support a wide range of ARGB eco-systems, including Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync and Razer Chroma RGB.
Now for some anticlimax … it could do with a slightly longer tubing, and maybe some extra RGB for the Antec logo on the side of the radiator … btw that’s just me being me 😛
This new AIO design is very intriguing indeed. So, I expect to see more and more manufacturers in future that will produce these AIO CPU coolers, featuring this new design that integrates the water pump in to the radiator. Well, it all depends who holds the design patents for this.
