I've owned quite a few 120 and 240 AIO's, from an Asetek marked OEM Intel 120 to many of Corsair's various $100+ coolers (including the amazing but pricey Hydro series RGB in my main rig). This CoolerMaster is not as quiet as the Hydro with it's magnetic PWM fans, simply because there's just no way to add two silent, high-end 120mm fans to a package at this price. BUT- for the money, the CoolerMaster 240 works extremely well, and the fan noise is completely acceptable compared to the up/down whine of most tower coolers, even CoolerMaster's own higher end dual fan 212's which are the same price. I bought two of these to use on lightly overclocked E5 Xeon gaming rigs, and both hold the line with high 30c idles and under 60c load temps, consistantly. BOTTOM LINE: If you run stock speeds on any -150w TDP CPU, or even light overclocks on your gaming or workstation system, and want good heat extraction on the cheap, I don't see how you could choose anything other than this AIO.Read full review

It's quiet, but is noticable and has a high pitched whine. Not distracting nor loud, but it 'is' there. Installation was fine, but wasn't the easiest due to poor tubing design. Performance was slightly disappointing because at idle my 3700x gets quite toasty already at 48.5 degrees, but it does do it's job. Fans get really loud to try and keep the temp below 80 under load, but it is capable of that. Overall: you could do better, but still a decent buy.

Best value AIO on the market. No fancy RGB but does the job at cooling very well. CPU does not go beyond 55 degrees at stock frequency.
