The same is true if you build your PC from the ground up. There will be several options accessible to you that can accommodate a 240mm radiator; thus, it is up to the user to select which cases to select. Some people prefer clean designs with no RGB, while others prefer a full-on RGB configuration. How We Chose The Best 240mm AIO Cooler?

We employed AIDA64 Extreme for rigorous stress testing. To ensure real-world conditions, we used the Thermaltake View 71t case, equipped with five front and bottom intake fans and three exhaust fans (including the Vardar S) at the top and bottom. EK-Vardar High-Performance Fans - The EK-Vardar S included with the EK AIO are industrial grade high-static PWM fans, designed and built primarily for high-performance liquid cooling systems. Controlled by either your motherboard or standalone fan controller, the EK Vardar can be adjusted to run at speeds between 550 - 2200RPM for either high airflow or silent running. EK-Vardar S is our first choice for radiator cooling, providing unmatched cooling performance, with fully integrated and customizable D-RGB lighting.

For consumers who want to get the most out of their systems, the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer ll 280 is the perfect option. It is the Best overall 240mm AIO Cooler due to its great cooling characteristics, improved pump design, and the inclusion of A-RGB Fans. Since we’re talking about aesthetics, and as we’ve mentioned in our past recommendations, some builders are looking to complete a certain theme and really tie the whole rig together via color matching. The most common of those themed builds is the ‘all-white’ build, and for a long time, this meant a very limited number of choices for cooling/fans that carried a heavy price premium. But recently, more and more options are appearing that are pure white (with some RGB) and promise not to put too big a hole in your wallet. Amongst those, the best value white 240mm AIO that promises great performance while fulfilling that specific color theme build is the ID-COOLING AURAFLOX x 240 SNOW.These AIO units will slowly become available and carry an MSRP with VAT included at 74.90€, 124.90€ and 149.90€ for the 120, 240 and 360 versions respectively. Today we'll test the 240mm model, which btw gets 5 Years Limited International Warranty.

Air Coolers use copper pipes with an integrated heat sink with fans attached, while AIO Coolers have two parts: a Pump connected to the Processor and a Radiator. Air Coolers are cheaper in comparison to AIO Coolers. However, they are bulky and have considerable weight. You appreciate ease of installation: The EK AIO 240 D-RGB comes with pre-applied thermal paste and an extra tube, making installation straightforward.

The far head has a rectangular design and a neat finishing. You can also take a close up look on the fins. We have a few bend fins but the overall finishing is good enough. The length of the far head is 20.70mm. The Corsair iCUE H100i Elite Capellix AIO comes equipped with a 240mm Radiator and two Corsair ML120 RGB PWN Fans; coupled with Corsair’s Capellix RGB Pump Head, it delivers an exceptional performance with little noise. Each fan has a 4-pin PWM fan connector having an approximate length of 485mm. The cable is flat in design. To briefly mention internals, we have a separate tear-down video coming up that’ll talk about how the EK AIO series works and how it’s assembled. The biggest item of note is that it’s running a larger diameter plastic impeller, as compared to the smaller Asetek CLC impellers or the medium-sized Arctic metal impeller. The EK AIO also uses a massive electromagnet for the pump, something we’ll look at in the tear-down. Installation Procedure
