Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 240 AIO Cooler Review

FlowOp Technology

The MasterLiquid Pro rethinks the fundamentals of liquid cooling via FlowOp technology. A holistic approach to controlling the flow of heat, FlowOp begins with an exclusive pump and dual chamber design with ultra fine microchannels, FEB tubing, square fin radiator design and MasterFan Air Balance fans. And when all these features are combined, you get a comprehensive cooling machine that lasts longer, performs better, and requires virtually no maintenance.

 

Boiling Components

Having a powerful pump and spray technology is useless if your sensitive parts sit brewing in the liquid heated by the CPU. That’s just the case in traditional, single chamber pumps.

Exclusive Dual Chambers Design

We stacked an extra chamber on top and engineered it so that cold stuff can go in, but hot stuff can’t go back up. The cooler upper chamber is where we store all of the vital components.

 

Problems at the Core

Most AIO liquid coolers try to “carry away” the heat generated from the CPU by flowing water over the copper base and the aluminum fins attached to it. When the coolant runs through these dense fins, it slows down. It’s like putting a hot coal in a boiling pot of water to cool it down.

“Spraying” the CPU

We grabbed technology from top-end DIY liquid cooling kits to create a powerful pump that sprays liquid directly at the center of the water block, solving the issue of slow flow. It also allows us to mount even more ultra-fine fins on the copper base, creating even more surfaces from which the coolant can take away heat.

 

Caught in the Heat Triangle

Getting the heat out from the CPU is just half the battle. Once it is carried out and channeled past the radiator fins, they become the deciding factor in whether it leaves your case. Fins are normally folded in dense triangles, with only the tips touching the hot water channel. The small gaps also make it difficult to jettison the heat far out of the case with the radiator fans.

Spacious Squares for Air

The MasterLiquid’s unique square fin design creates greater surface area for absorption of the heat and allows for spacious airflow. The increased space means we can use a quieter fan that pushes air farther out of the case for a silent cooling option.

 

Getting the Heat Outside

The spacious square fins gave us leverage to use all-new MasterFan Pro Air Balance fans. The blades push air farther out of the case and are quieter than high static pressure fans. Plus they’ll last just as long as your liquid cooler.

 

Gently Driven

Adding to that effort towards silence, we encased the pump needed to drive that concentrated spray at our CPU with a silent driver. The custom driver rotates way more smoothly than any other technology out there, reducing noisy clicks and vibration. It’s like you’re using a V8 engine and can’t even notice.
