Finished Looks

The all-black design of the Dashflow 240 Black Basic makes it a great fit for systems where you are trying to avoid being ostentatious. In other words, the cooler doesn't stand out. Its lack of rainbow LEDs and LCDs means that, yes, it is affordable, but more importantly, it brings with it a level of simplicity that is quite nice. The cooler will fit well in all-black or high-contrast builds.


There were no issues on either platform regarding memory and graphics card clearance. While this is normal for most all-in-one liquid coolers, there are still outliers in the market.


While there is no ARGB lighting on this cooler, it does feature a very faint white LED lighting element on the pump. As a result, it acts more like a contrasting accent built in rather than actual lighting. To put it another way, in a well-lit room, you likely won't even notice them, but in a darker environment, they will draw your attention to the pump and the overall design of its top.
