Introduction

A big thank you to ID-Cooling for supplying the review sample.

ID-Cooling has grown at quite a rapid pace since its founding in 2013. Since then, they have rapidly expanded their market presence while also improving by leaps and bounds with each product release. That adaptability has served them well when implementing new designs and trends while systematically improving performance, it's no wonder they have become a major player in the DIY PC market. Delivering effective and affordable solutions tends to be a surefire way to gain a following, and ID-Cooling has certainly done that, especially with the SE-224-XT series and its successor, the SE-224-XTS, with both continuing to be some of the best entry-level air coolers on the market.


In today's review, I take an in-depth look at ID-Cooling's Dashflow 240 Black Basic. This latest all-in-one liquid cooling option forgoes the ARGB lighting in favor of a more classic all-black design with a delicate white LED glow on the pump top. By dropping the ARGB lighting and going with a simplified design, ID-Cooling has reigned in costs, with the Dashflow 240 Black Basic being very affordable at an MSRP of $69.99. If performance is on par with the price, it may be a killer budget offering, let's take a closer look.
