Conclusion and Verdict
In, conclusion the MasterLiquid Pro 280 is a solid performing AIO. The cooler performs as well as expected and while I was hoping for nitrogen like cooling effects from the new FlowOp technology. I see how the process works to keep the pump operating cooler and the exchange at the heatsink being streamlined.
Water does have limits to the amount of heat that is transferable and I want to thank Cooler Master for trying and developing something new and outside the box. We cant argue with the results as this cooler was able to compete with one at a larger size.
The price when divided by the lifespan gives you your best bang for you buck. This cooler is rated to outlast the majority, meaning you can spend that money sprucing up the rest of you rig.
The MasterLiquid Pro 280 All-In-One Liquid Cooler with Dual Chamber can be found on Amazon and other e-tailers for around $129 USD.
Pros:
- Easy Installation
- Quiet Fans
- Price
- Silent operating Pump
- Pump MTTF ratings
Cons:
- Cant change the LED color or shut it off
Final Thoughts:
The MasterLiquid Pro 280 is a prime example of how Cooler Master is always evolving and inventing new way to make our computers life span last a little longer. The new FlowOp has a great life rating and cools with the best of them. If you are looking to keep near the top in cooling while making every dollar weigh more, look no further because the MasterLiquid Pr 280 will meet those demands.
