Finished Looks

While the ML240P Mirage doesn't look all that different from most all-in-one liquid coolers these days, it still manages to stand out due to the pink impeller in the pump, which is nearly impossible to miss. When the LEDs are enabled, it is not all that noticeable and will be even less so in a proper chassis. That said, I do not know why Cooler Master went with a pink impeller as a clear, white, or black option would have been a better fit. Still, it is not a huge deal and again, when the LEDs are on, it's not as noticeable.

One thing I will point out here is that unlike many other liquid coolers, the tubing on the Cooler Master unit is far more forgiving, which makes installation easier and the consequent appearance of the ML240P Mirage cleaner as the tubing is not stretched or forced into position.


As is the case with most liquid coolers, the ML240P Mirage offers perfect clearance for memory and graphics cards on our test bench.

The ARGB LED illumination of the Cooler Master AIO is certainly the halo feature with overall uniformity being quite good. It should also be apparent in the video, but there were no issues with color sync either. Overall, software control worked flawlessly as well. That said, trying to get the unit to work with the motherboard software proved to be a problem as it just wouldn't show up in the MSI software. However, Cooler Master takes this into account as the included hub has built-in controls, or you can use their software as mentioned above. This ability to fall back on other controls means the ARGB lighting will essentially work on any modern system.
