When I say the Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240L Core ARGB White is the most standard AIO cooler I have seen, I mean this in the most positive way possible. For one, the MasterLiquid 240L Core comes with everything that is necessary, including its two 120mm fans and an all-in-one package that is built with this same mindset. Everything is as expected, including its aluminum radiator and copper base. It meets the addressable RGB standard with lights on its fans and even the pump-water block combination. We might not have any fan or lighting hub, but instead Cooler Master has included necessary cables to make it easier to wire everything up. Its mounting mechanism is also normal, which makes it quite easy to install without much thought or needing to use the included instructions. Cooler Master has included one important thing here, which is their retail-grade CryoFuze thermal grease to get as much performance as possible. While everything up to this point has been ordinary, the performance of the Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240L Core ARGB White is where we see solid results. In our tests, we saw this all-in-one perform quite well, keeping our processor cool in both idle and load tests and matching some larger coolers in capabilities. On the other hand, there are a few things that have been cut in the pursuit of keeping the cooler economical. For one, we have no protection under the radiator mounting holes and we have only just enough rubber tubing for flexibility. However, the one thing that I wish was improved is the noise output. Although we have great cooling capabilities, the fans on the MasterLiquid 240L Core ARGB are quite loud at full load. Even so, this includes all the important things for a CPU cooling solution. At the time of the review, this is $100, which is right in line for an AIO cooler with addressable lighting. As such, if you are looking for a wallet-friendly and capable liquid cooler, the Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240L Core ARGB is an excellent option.
