hey guys you're watching Jays two cents and keeping in the tradition of water cooling month here October is kind of unofficially become water cooling month here on Jays two cents I've showed you the basic water cooling build I've showed you the advanced water cooling build and it wouldn't be complete now if I didn't show you an all-in-one water cooling unit so today we're going to take a look at the side in 240m sent to us by the awesome guys over at cooler answer today we are going to take a look at the Coolermaster site in 240 M this is a 240 M because it is a dual 120 millimeter fan radiator it's designed to directly compete with the Corsair units and the NZXT units and the thermal take units there's a lot of all-in-one cooling options now coming out on the market because water cooling is becoming more mainstream so on the packaging here you can see this is still factory sealed it's got the cellophane on it it's brand spanking new it says right here on the front liquid liquid cooling or liquid CPU cooler and it's maintenance-free and it's efficient design for overclocking so they're specifically targeting overclockers with this unit and that's obvious by the fact that it is a dual 120 millimeter radiator on the back of the packaging here nothing special you just see some dimensions here it is mentioned that it's a dual radiator the thickness on this radiator is 27 millimeters thick so it's a little bit smaller than say a standalone 30ml radiator if you were to build one of your own custom loop but it does have the block and the pump and the coolant and everything built in to one package that goes on top of your CPU which is the way pretty much everybody is doing it now with all-in-one cooling units now on the back here we have a tiny little little bit of English it's just right here I'll go ahead and read that it says it's prefilled it's a closed-loop liquid cooling system it requires zero maintenance so that's what really appeals to people who are breaking in to water cooling but they're not confident yet to go with their own full custom loop is it it is maintenance-free you don't the fill it drain it flush it none of that stuff it is ultrafine micro channel cold plate optimizes water flow and heat dissipation so there's a lot of technology inside the block to create the most amount of heat transfer possible in a small package because that's kind of these down the downsides these all-in-one units is you have to fit a lot of stuff in a tiny little package durable and powerful water pump dissipates heat effectively and maintains temperatures through stable water circulation so it's got a pump that moves water it's a large aluminum radiator with a wide rpm range pwm fan creates a superb balance between cooling and efficient noise so it is an aluminum radiator not a copper or brass radiator so that's going to kind of it's going to do two things one aluminum is a great dissipater of heat not as good as copper and brass is still debatable a lot of people don't like using brass but it's going to keep the weight down it's not going to be very heavy in fact this whole package is not really that heavy and then it says universal mounting solution it fits all Intel LGA your 2011 2011 50 1366 1155 1156 775 an hour AMD sockets FM 2 FM 1 + 3 + 3 + a.m. - so it's going to fit any CPU you've got basically with this one box so let's go ahead and pull out my my trusty my little knife here let's go ahead and bust a single nevermind the blood on this thing it's it's been well used so I will go ahead and take my little knife here and we'll bust the sylvain on this thing because it is brand new there we go okay so it is a lot like a lot of boxes now is a little flip box you flip it open and then you find some very high-tech foam awesome stuff I love this stuff it is taste amazing okay so anyway full you've got your fans here individually packaged and they do come shipping with and as I mentioned I don't know how to open up ziplock baggies I never figured that part out okay the fan then it comes with here is its there coolermaster it's a high static pressure fan I don't know the exact model number of this fan it's got a really cool kind of a hologram looking thing there but it's a very high pressure fan this is what they advertise on their website and you do get two of these fans you have your instruction manual that is I do recommend looking at this you know most of the time being being the man that I am I would just take these and I would you know toss them over my shoulder but you want to be sure that you're mounting it properly to your socket so you definitely want to hang on to that you have all of your mounting hardware it's got your backplate for AMD you've got all your different brackets here for Intel it's got it looks like it's got some splitters in there or get sure that you can actually hook up all of these fans oh look at this you have a rubber gasket this is really cool because this is designed to break down vibrations when you mount your radiator to your case usually it's a solid mount so the fans vibrate right through the radiator right through the case and then you get a kind of an unpleasant sound but this rubber gasket is designed to eliminate that so really cool glad to see that as I mentioned earlier you do have your pwm splitter so you could put both fans directly up to your CPU header and I do recommend using PWM if you have it available because PWM allows your fans to ramp up and slow down based on cpu load not so much temperature so you can kind of be proactive on the temperature rather than reactive of having your fans ramped up after they reach a certain temperature so it's definitely a benefit it does come with some Coolermaster thermal paste it's not pre-applied you apply it yourself which is both good and bad if you're a newbie you definitely want to make sure you're applying it properly but you've got all your retaining brackets and screws for all of your different socket sets you're not going to pull all these out I don't want to lose any of it you get your your bag of silica gel the don't eat that and then you have the actual unit right here and I don't believe it anything else in the box so go into the box aside okay as I mentioned because this is aluminum it's very very light there's very little weight to this but as you can see feel it carefully some of the fins ours are you can kind of see that right here some of the fins are kind of bent a little bit already that's normal guys don't freak out over that I've seen people on forums freak out saying some of my bins were pens were bent fins are bent fins were bent that's what drives it it's no different than a radiator in your car there's a very very thin pieces of aluminum they're gonna get bent just don't smash your hand against it you're not gonna have a problem you can take a tiny screwdriver and kind of straighten those out if you want it's not a big deal trust me don't sweat it the block here has its power cord which is also PWM so it hopefully if you have two PWM headers usually on a higher-end motherboard or even mid end motherboards today have PWM for CPU one and CPU optional headers I would set the fan are the pump probably on CPU two and then put the fans on CPU one but everything is contained in here and it's got a nice cover here protecting the copper block and the pump is built into that and then you have obviously here your radiator now it does have here a warranty void if removed and a do not tamper with blah blah blah this is the fill port they used to pre-fill the system so you don't want to mess with that you want to take it off and want to try and drain it or anything this is completely maintenance-free now the first thing that comes to mind is that the tubes are a little bit small they're really thin but because you're dealing with such a small package unit as I mentioned in some other water cooling bills it doesn't matter how thick they are they because you're dealing with such a small unit here there's going to be more than enough flow and then you do have you know they are bendable you know that they do rotate here on the block so you don't have to worry about you know but getting it in just the right position so what we're going to do now is we are going to take our NZXT x58 system over here on the side whether you can or can't see that and we are going to put this unit in there we're going to replace inside this unit it's got a 120 millimeter all-in-one cooling unit in there now we're going to do some before temperatures and then we are going to replace it with this unit and we're going to see exactly how it performed and then after we check out the stock performance we're going to stick these jet flow 120 fans in a push-pull configuration on this radiator just because these fans are awesome and we have four of them so why the heck not so let's go ahead and do that will record the temperatures before and after and then we'll come back and bring you guys the results and give you final conclusions on this cord okay so this is our test system before we've actually installed the site into 40m it's an X 58 with an i7 970 and it's got basically a generic no brand name posted 120 millimeter with push-pull fans on there if we take a look at the temperatures on this thing right now we are currently doing a stress test here we can see we're almost reaching 100 degrees on these cores so we may or may not have a thermal taste of thermal taste a thermal paste problem on this system but we are going to go ahead and we're going to put in the site 240m and see just exactly what happens on the system there we go we got the Sidon 240m now hooked up to our system our x58 I've got it mounted outside of the case just sitting here because this case is only 200 millimeter friendly as you can see there's no holes for 200 millimeters on top some might say those are the holes but nope that's not 240 millimeter friendly so anyway as you can see the fans at stock speed even though they are hooked up to a PWM controller there are running at full speed and they are fairly noisy at a hundred percent but I mean there's so much air commander you can probably hear it on the camera there that's okay you want the air flow because look at our temperatures they came all the way down into the 60s and low 70s from the 90s the upper 90s so yeah there you go having over more tests we want to do real quick we want to throw for jet flow 120 s on this and let's see just what happens well there we go you can hear me over the fans we've got all four jet flows running at 100% fan speed and the temperatures are not really any different to be honest with you hopefully can hear me over there I mean they're good they're definitely good but they're about the same temperature as they were with the stock fans that come with this thing so it just means that the cooler is so efficient it's doing its job with the the airflow that comes with the fan so the jet flows look pretty awesome but the fans that come with the kit are surprisingly really good so there you have it the site in 240 M from Coolermaster it's a really good all-in-one cooling unit for less than a hundred bucks it comes with some things that I'm very excited about like the rubber gasket that goes between the fans and the radiator the fans that come with it are absolutely great static pressure fans they're a bit noisy though I definitely recommend using some sort of a voltage reducer or fan controller or hook them up the PWM fan headers your motherboard so you can control the speed because again can get very noisy but then again the static pressure on these is so great that you can slow them down and still maintain great cooling as you saw on the x58 computer that we did the test with and not to mention because they are standard bolt patterns you could go with something extreme like we did here by putting four of the jet flow 120 s on there and it just looks really awesome the only thing I do wish it this came with though was its own proprietary software to control the speed of the fans that way you could set up a profile so you could have a noise profile so you can control how loud they are you know you can ramp them up when you're gaming or you can turn them down when you just browsing the web and you control the fans there's a lot of motherboards that give you that sort of flexibility but it would be nice if it was included with this kit but again for 100 bucks you can't really go wrong with this so if you guys like this product here from Coolermaster the side and 240m all-in-one water cooling unit check out their website their information is down in the description they've got a whole line of cooling you've definitely know Coolermaster especially with the popularity of the hyper 212 and the 212 ebo and the whole line of cooling products and they've definitely got something that will meet your needs we've got more Coolermaster reviews coming up on the channel we've got a v700 power supply we've got the N 600 mid tower case and we've got the control rx so super smooth gaming mouse pad so you guys don't want to miss that as always I'll see you in my next video if you liked the video you know what to do and we'll see you next time
