AORUS RGB AIO Liquid Cooler 240, 240mm Radiator, Dual 120mm Windforce PWM Fans, Customizable Full Color LCD Display, Advanced RGB Lighting and Control

The media could not be loaded. Amazing cooler. Gets my 8700k to 5ghz very easily with idle temps in the low 30's. I am running 4 fans on it(2 on the back.) Very high quality cooler at a not so high price. This is the cheapest price for a cooler with a screen. I've used Thermaltake products most of my life and am very satisfied. I chose not to buy the ROG Strix model after the horrible reviews. This cooler has some negative reviews, but from what I read, and my 16 years experience in the field tells me that most cannot follow directions. DO NOT PLUG THE FANS INTO YOUR MOTHERBOARD. They are controlled by the controller and have to be plugged into the included connectors. Also, if you're using an ASUS or any other motherboard besides Gigabyte, you will have to have something plugged into your CPU header. So when you install, you'll get a CPU fan error. What I did was used the 2 other fans I used on the back of the cooler, plug that controller that they are connected to(4 pin) into my CPU fan header. Its purely to trick your motherboard into thinking the fans you plugged in are your cooler. This is because there is NO included fan header as the AIO is controlled via USB. Assuming you have this issue, even plugging a 3 pin fan into your CPU header should fix the issue. Also, It may be me, but I could not get a picture over 316x340. You can use Gimp(FREE editing app,) open the image, on the top hover over the "image" tab and go down to "Scale picture." You can scale images without Photoshop this way. Then go to "File" tab and select "Export as." At the bottom of the window, choose "Select file type" then choose Windows BMP. Click export, then go to "Advanced and make sure "24bit" is selected.Cons- Crazy amount of time trying out new pictures for the screen! 😆

Installation was a breeze although I do have a Phanteks S/E case with a slide out tray for AIO coolers but don't think it would have been all that difficult without a tray as screws go right in easily & everything fit well with hose length & flexibility a non issue. The pump head is ridiculously easy to install with pre applied paste on head. The software can be found on the web & installs itself. I found it idiot proof & don't think I was just lucky. Looks great with Auros software & runs dead silent for me.(Both pump & fans) I am not overclocking yet as I need a K cpu but my current I3 10100 idles at 28c & never above 40c under stress. It's a small 65 watt cpu but even this 240 mm should be fine on even the I7's & I9's but would need to be tested of course. As soon as I get the 10700K I will update this review.

Overall I like the AIO. I’ve purchased both the 360 and 240 for my builds but the experience is pretty similar, even temp wise.The pro:- it’s a solid unit, looks and feels premium- surprisingly crisp display, despite the weird specifications (you could have just scaled it Aorus)- performance is decent, which is dependent on placementCons- HORRIBLE software. It’s a dated, clunky software and to add insult to injury, you need two! You need both rgb fusion and aorus engine to drive pics and fan colors... it’s ridiculous lol- Runs warmer, regardless of the configuration. I have the 360 on a 3700x and the 240 on a 5600x and they’re both in the mid 40 to high 40’s on stock curve, idling.Note worthy:- The fans and pump are louder than I’d like. The pump you can fiddle with and adjust a fan curve which renders it virtually silent as it will kick in once it’s pushing demanding tasks, which require fans that will drown it out. The fans however, they’re either inaudible and barely moving air or sound like a chopper ready for take off and doing something. After a year of messing around and tweaking I just removed them as put in cooler masters halo fans, which aren’t even meant to be rad fans and they’re performing significantly better.Overall, it’s a decent aio and I like the options but when I picked this up, this was one of 2 lcd aios on the market and the other was going for pretty much triple the price. Now with the competition, I’d more a bit more research.

Installed into the Coolermaster h500 case on a i9 9900k with ease. Rgb lighting is bright and customizable, however you do have to use 2 seperate softwares to utilize it fully. The LED screen is very clear. But only supports a .bmp format which is weird. No GIFs.Noise levels are high, but not annoying when overclocking to 5ghz. I wouldn't recommend using this with any other board besides a gigabyte auros. The customization options are mainly meant for gigabytes Fusion lighting, and would be a somewhat waste comparatively if using another brand (such as AsRock, Msi, etc., Etc...
