Cooler Master AIO

[EstPort]

Hi guys, I started buying parts for my new rig and I found this Masterliquid ML240L* for about ~$100. (350 in local currency)

It is my only known brand option in the market because there is another brand that doesn't figure there in the US but is like 240 in local currency ($75 aprox) and I don't want to buy something of a brand that I have never heard nor read in my life.( Just if you want to know the brand is Antryx)

 

So, is that Cooler Master aio good?

I have one at the minute, it's ok, not the best by a long shot, but is adequate. I should add, I only bought it because the arctic freezer 2 was out of stock at the time and it was cheap and better than the stock cooler.

No, ML-L sucks. Performance is inline with air coolers which isnt so bad, but it is also prone to leaking and pump fails

Well, no many options remaining here. I should wait so most shops here can restock. Even wholesalers have almost no stock remaining. They have this Aorus stuff that is really expensive (here), and that not know brand that is really cheap

There is one, air cooling.

Nope, where I live (Peru), air coolers are like the basic ones, they look like almost stock ones. There was a variety of AIO coolers before the pandemic but now it's either really cheap(240 local) or really expensive(900-1100 local). The midrange that was between450-650 local(mostly Corsair ones)is gone. Also, PSUs are suffering the same fate; I wanted to buy a G750H($100) but there are few shops that still have it and I think that I will have to buy an overpriced Seasonic one.

Not even a Hyper 212 clone? Must be desperate

Found some shops that have it. Can it cool a 3900x/xt under load?

Not really (target below 80C), not without user interference like undervolting. I'm just using the 212 as an example of an air cooler that's everywhere with more clones than the UK had colonies

the aio you mentioned isnt super bad if you can add more fans to the aio to run it in a push/pull config it will cool better than just with 2 fans
