Finished Looks

The Cooler Master MasterLiquid PL240 Flux has a monochrome design with the ARGB lighting turned off. While not exciting, this neutral color scheme means it will be a good fit in just about every build theme should you dislike ARGB lighting in general. The only thing that detracts from the clean looks is the stickers on the fans. They don't really fit the cooler's clean aesthetic.


There were no issues on either platform regarding memory and graphics card clearance. Granted, this is normal for most all-in-one liquid coolers, but there are still outliers. Therefore, it is good to see no extra bulky plastic bits that hamper compatibility.


Cooler Master's implementation is fairly standard but still good. The individual LEDs are noticeable in some of the color selections on both the pump and fans. However, the issue is less noticeable on the pump. Still, the LEDs are very easy to spot on the fans. To clarify, this is a minor issue, and just how noticeable it is will depend on the orientation of the cooler. With the fans at the top, you likely will never see it. However, with the radiator and fans mounted to the front of the case, you will more than likely notice. This is something that is noticeable on many ARGB products, so it definitely is not the end of the world; rather, it's something to be mindful of if looking for a more premium ARGB implementation.
