AIO question

[HesCalledTheStig]

I have a Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L AIO being delivered to me tomorrow.  I will not be home when the package is delivered and it is going to be around 30 degrees out. Will the cold temperature hurt the cooler in any way?  It will probably be outside on my step for the better part of 4 hours. I'm paranoid, lol.

I don't think you need to worry. Most AIOs use an Propylene Glycol mixture of some sort. 

From Gamersnexus:

"As for the liquid used, that’s a mix of propylene glycol and distilled water. Some manufacturers will specify a higher percentage of glycol in the mix, which will help the cooler better withstand extreme temperatures – like -40C, for example. Most coolers are able to take around -20C, which is a good balance between not freezing during shipping and the improved cooling potential of a higher distilled water concentration."

Don't worry, you're good

Thanks!  That's what I was hoping to hear!
