MasterLiquid Pro 120

Not gonna lie I had this professionally installed because I already knew it was going to be a pain in the butt to install myself coupled with the fact I honestly didn't have the spare time to do it anyway. Having said that after having the work done this thing works FLAWLESSLY. My temps went from 80-90c at full load to barely going over 50c at full load and idles around 35-36c. I originally had the corsair H80 but obviously it was failing and not doing it's job anymore with my temps being so high and so I took a chance on this one due to it being recommended by the same guy that I had install it prior to buying it. Couldn't be happier with the results. Even playing Watch Dogs 2 @ 3440X1440p with max setting the highest temp I saw was 52c. You really can't get much better than that. Highly recommended but I will say even the guy that installed it said it was a pain to install. Mostly because I have an older case that required him to take everything apart before being able to put this in. Newer cases don't have this problem but older cases make this a hurdle. I can't dock a star for that because it's really not the fault of the cooler I just need to upgrade my case to one with a better design that makes it easier to install parts.

don't expect to reach new frequencies with this cooler but it is much quieter than aircooled in which for the very reason I bought it for, this unit was designed specifically for mini itx builds in mind, it saves room for tiny performance computers like mine, if you have a micro atx or anything bigger, better to get Coolermaster Masterliquid Pro 120 as you will reach higher clock speeds.Update: using this to keep now my i9 9900k cooled and there is no need to overclock as the 9900k's frequency is perfect to push my RTX 2080 Ti. So far my cpu doesn't throttle at all so I am still happy how this cooler is performing.Remember, I am using an mini ITX case and so the fan of this cooler is directly against the door of my case so it is pulling outside air directly which I believe it was designed for and so it works beautifully.

I bought this to cool down an older gaming system for a younger relative in college on a budget. The system has an AMD FX8350 with stock fan and a Gigabyte Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 in a tight case with poor airflow. These CPUs run hot and need more than the stock cooling fan. I installed this with dual fans at the front of the case in a pull/push mode. Sucking cool air in from the front and blowing it across the radiator into the case with the 120mm case's rear fan exhausting internal air.Pre install the CPU was overheating, causing stuttering during game play, freezes and crashes. Post install, all problems were resolved, even with the cramped, crappy PC case that offered extremely poor airflow. A new PC case was purchased shortly after we installed this. Migration from the old case to the new was as simple as resting this cooler radiator on a box as the motherboard was installed and screwed down, and then mounting the fan/radiator. In other words, very easy without any need to remove waterblock pump from the CPU/motherboard. No headaches at all.4 hours of PRIME95 benchmark MAX temps as reported by CPUID HWMonitor in the same room, same ambient temperature on the same day and Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste was used.Pre installation Max Temp - 61 C (141 F)Post installation Max Temp - 46 C (115 F)*Temperatures dropped further into the 30s once a new PC case was purchased.PROS -The instructions were clear.Installation was simple.The product and packaging are quality.The radiator fins have large gaps allowing for better airflow, cooling and will make cleaning and blowing out dust simpler! I love this!Noise levels range from quiet to comfortable levels. I couldn't really tell if it was on or running hard at all even while being stressed by Prime95.CONS -The tubing is very stiff and you are not going to fit this into a tight space without some force. If you do 'force' it into a tight spot, you might leverage too much tension against the CPU. If this is you, this is not the one you want! Go with the softer tubing models like those offered by Corsair.I've installed and dealt with Cooler Master and Corsair closed water cooling systems for several years now. I don't think either is better than the other. I can confidently say both companies produce reliable product lines and as long as the reviews and customer satisfaction ratings are strong, I doubt you'll regret a purchase. This MasterLiquid Pro system is new and still has to prove itself to be reliable over time. Regardless, I'm comfortable with the decision to buy it and happy with the results.

Had to return it due to water pump noise and temperature keep at not less than 53 degree for an AMD APU A10-7890K, otherwise the item is very well constructed and cause great impression at first glance :(

Cooler works good... Great even. Easy install. The hoses are STIFF, lol. You kinda feel like your gonna break something, getting these hoses bent into the position you want them in. Then there are the fans. Several reviews had similar issues. I had to restart my system a couple times. That moment when them fans are pegged out, RPM wise, they rattle/ crack sound like they are about to crumble and come apart. I have fans galore, so not a problem for me. However I do feel like cooler master should put some better fans on these things.

I've been using mostly Corsair AIO liquid CPU coolers for a couple of years now and they've been great, but were a bit noisy and the hoses were stiff. The Cooler Master AIO works very well so far and is bit quieter than my corsair H100i v2. The pump is taller on the Pro 140 compared to the h100i v2, but the hoses are way softer. It's whole easier to mount the radiator thanks to the softer braided hoses. The only thing I can say about this AIO is that the hose is 1" shorter compared to the H100i V2 so you may have to plan accordingly if you have a big tower case.I'll though out updates on performance later when I get the time do them.*****Update 05/25/2017*****Ugh, those blue lights from hell on the pump don't turn off even when the computer is off. Luckily it's not that bright to affect me when I'm trying to sleep, but it's still a poor design choice to leave the lights on even when the computer is off.
