Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML280 Mirror Close-Loop AIO CPU Liquid Cooler, ARGB Mirror Pump, Dual Chamber Pump, SickleFlow 140 PWM Fans, AMD Ryzen AM5/AM4, Intel LGA1700*/1200 (MLX-D28M-A14PK-R1)

I bought this for $50 on sale. It’s easy to install, but I swapped the fans out for some 140mm Noctuas I had on a previous cooler. The default fans are loud. The mirror look is really nice, but you can turn it off if you want.I use this cooler on a 9600k OC’d at 5ghz. I have the radiator on top of my Corsair 4000D exhausting in a push config. My GPU under full load runs around 50-60F depending on room temp, so the CPU runs at that temp or slightly above. I have my fans running at 75% max on the radiator while gaming. I don’t use my CPU for anything else that’s demanding.I’ve heard some sporadic gurgling in the radiator, but it goes away after 2-5 seconds on startup.The temps do not spike as bad as my previous air cooler did, but I don’t know how it performs on CPU’s with higher TDP.If you’re looking for a 280mm radiator that has a minimal LED look, and does it’s job this does great.

Ok so the things I liked, or loved about this AIO Cooler, is one, the price. Secondly the Look of this thing is absolutely incredible. 3Rd is the feel of the fans, radiator and pump. I mean it feels 100% solid and very well built. My CPU temps are currently at 31 Celsius as I type this. My last PC which was Air Cooled used to run like in the upper 40's and higher all the time. Granted I do have more fans (2 more) in this PC so that probably helps a little. But I still believe that this AIO cooler is helping mostly with the temps. The fans while not RGB are like a translucent black and feel strong.Now for the ONLY Con of this AIO cooler. Being honest is the fact that the fans it comes with are just all black. No RGB, come on now, really... An amazing product but without the RGB fans. I think this would make this product stand out far from the rest, and by a lot. Again that is my only con an doesn't require for a loss of any stars on the 5 star system. If this was a 10 star system, they would have gotten a 9. Maybe you can change them out... worth looking into if you really wanted to. In the end BRAVO to Cooler master for this wild, and amazing product.

I freaked out a bit during install since I have had an AMD cooler installed on this motherboard for 3 years on my Ryzen 2600. Recently got a 5600x with same AMD cooler which screws directly to the retention bracket through the motherboard instead of using the clip on type brackets (photo attached). I had tossed mine out apparently but luckily my son still had his from his 2 year old build. Otherwise install was fairly straight forward. I did have to trim the corner off one of the fans to fit around my RAM in my Cooler Master H500. CPU Temp dropped from 80 C while running 3DMark with stock AMD cooler to 56 C. Cinebench Temp dropped from 95 C to 73 C! Idle Temp dropped from 46 C to 36 C and it only take a minute or two to drop back to Idle Temp instead of taking around ten minutes or so. Great Performance all around. Every other temperature sensor in my case either stayed the same or dropped 2-4 C as well. I have been building Computers since the mid 1990's, but this is my first AIO cooler. I am very happy, I highly recommend this Cooler.

Good cooler. I have it on a Ryzen 5 7600x and it works well. The Ryzen runs hot by design, but still feels like I’m getting thermal throttling. During Blender simulations and other heavy loads, the CPU stays at 95* C (which is normal) but my frequency drops below 5Ghz a lot which is kind of lame.One bad thing is there are no clear instructions on how to properly install the cooler, meaning that it doesn’t emphasize you need to have the pump BELOW the top of the cooler and you want the hoses BELOW the pump if you can’t install it along thr top of your tower. Otherwise you get air pockets in the pump which limits cooling significantly, can cause damage to the pump, and other issues.I made this mistake, tested, and realized something was wrong. None of the documents with the pump mention anything of this sort, but this info is all over YouTube.All-in-all:good AIOnot the best for the newer, hotter Ryzens, but plenty for the majority of CPU’sNeeds better documentation

The cooler mounts to the stock AMD AM4 motherboard mount. The directions could be a little better (pictures only, no words), but they got the job done eventually.The cooler is quieter than the other case fans and PSU fan that I have, and it has been cooling my OC'd Ryzen 7 5700x for the last few weeks with no problems. I wish the fans were also aRGB, but for the price I can't complain.If you're getting excessive fluid noise and it's not cooling as well as you thought it would, make sure you have the radiator either mounted to the top of your case above the CPU, or have the hoses going down to the bottom of the radiator if it's mounted vertically. The pump will be less likely to suck air that way.

Upgraded from my old 140mm NZXT Kraken unit. Works well with my Ryzen 5900X and stays pretty quiet under load.

For those that know, Cooler Master provides some of the best hardware out there. And this AIO is no exception.Purchased this for a build I did for a friend. I'll be honest though, this wasn't my first choice. I use CM products in other areas of pc's, and not in AIO's. Personally, I prefer DeepCool for my AIO stuff. But to each their own, right?Anyhow, CM did a great job with this guy. Solid construction, and easy to install. For those that're familiar with AIO's, I'll not go into the sordid details on how its constructed. You know what this is, and don't need me blabbering on about it.As for keeping the cpu cool, this does a slightly better job than my DeepCool does on my build. I'm thinking however its more of a result of a box design than anything else. My build is the TUF gaming GT501, and I put this guy into the Antec NX410 mid tower. They're dramatically different boxes. I could be wrong, but that's what i'm thinking.Anyhow, its worth the $$ to get this. Fans are changeable, it keeps that cpu for going nuclear, and it's priced well for the job. Give it a shot!Buy with confidence!
