This AIO is very efficient : I loose near from 10°C from my previous air cooling system (AXP-100) with a Intel I7 4770 processor, in idle or in game (now, between 35°c to 50°c maximum instead of 45 to 60°C). But I win also, and the most important for me, the sound of silence ! Even it's working with two fans (push-pull configuration), I cannot heard the pump, nor the fans (or just a little !) then idle. It replace 3 fans (all 4 pins controlled) : 1 in the front of the PC for the box cooling (120 mm), 1 for the processor cooling (120 mm), and the last from the right side (80 mm). Very nice !RGB system provide more fun PC if you're addict on it. If it's not the case,you can switch off the lights or simply not connect the RGB wires. By the way, this is one of the cons I have : If your mother board cannot take in charge the RGB management of the fans and the pump, the cable management with the RGB controller provided could be tricky. There's connectors coming in all the wide side of the RGB box controller (SATA for power, micro-USB for dialog with the mother board, analog and digital RGB connectors, RESET IN/OUT ports), and you have to find the best place in your PC box to install all wires needed: could be difficult, if you have short volume like my Cooler Master Elite 130 design for mini-ITX configuration. Fortunately, I have only SSD disks and no CD reader, it save place... RESET button of you PC box can be used to control this RGB controller (press more than 5 secs to reseting you PC).The RGB software is OK, but not without some bugs. First of all, you have to update the firmware of the controller. Easy to do it, but you have to unplug all the wires except the power supply (SATA) and USB (strictly follow the directions given by the software). Nevertheless, sometime it happened that you have to reset it by switching off all the PC power (physically). It's happened to me also that I had to reinstall the Windows10 software (Cooler Master Lightening Control) to working properly again. RGB effects defined from the Overview tabs are permanents (even if your PC is switching off without disconnected from the power plug !), but all effects design from the Lightning maker are not : if you close the software windows, RGB effect come back to the default defined in the Overview section. For example, the 'screen follower' effect, very nice, doesn't work if this software is not activate and effect not started. So, some jobs to do to make it more useful...Notice are not very clear and precise for some points : there's only figures inside, but you can made mistake when you mount the fans for example in push-pull configuration because there's no arrows to indicate the air flow on the fans themselves. Take your time to install it carefully and double check it after each steps... Be aware also that the tubes can be lightly oriented at the pump level, this is not indicated in this notice (could be nice to know when your power supply is just above the mother board...).To sump up, I recommend this AIO witch is one of the more efficient current AIO you can find for a very good price. RGB part could be more improved, even from software (bugs) or from the controller (too much cables to manage).Have fun !

I've got slightly mixed feeling about this cooler. I decided to buy this for a spare little system I'm using at home. My main system I'm using though, is using a coolermaster V6, so I will be comparing my experiences between this T4 cooler and my V6. Obviously it's not a fair comparison as the V6 is more top of the line, but it's the only other cooler I have bought, so I don't know how other coolers in the T4 price range will work.I recently bought an Asus M5A97 R2.0 board for my aging FX-8120 processor, just to keep it round for spare use. On the M5A97 board, I have the G. Skill Ripjaw Series RAM installed. Now, when I originally installed my V6 cooler on my main computer,the installation was a breeze and it fit perfectly. Installing this T4 cooler on the M5A97 board was a serious pain in the rear end. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the board itself though.The one thing, if you're going to buy this for an AM3 board, you need to keep in mind you won't be able to install this with the fan blowing to the rear of the case because of the way you have to clip it onto the board. It only goes in one way. I'm sure this would be fine if your case has top mounted fans to blow the heat up and out of the case, but that was not the case with my tower. Like an idiot, it never occurred to me this would have to be installed with the fan blowing up. Not exactly idea when your case only has a rear tower fan and solid top.The heatsink itself was a massive headache at first, trying to get to sit right because the fins were scraping the top of my memory sticks. This was not a problem with my coolermaster v6 though on my Sabertooth AM3 board, and I have the exact same ripjaw memory installed in that system. This heatsink is obviously not as tall as others in a higher price range. This also caused a lot of headache trying to get the fan clipped onto the heatsink after I mounted it because the edge of the fan was also jamming into the top of ram modules. It worked, but the top edge of the fan is sticking slightly out more than the top of the heatsink itself.Now, I didn't have high expecations honestly, for this cooler, as you're gonna get what you pay for. I just needed something ultra cheap and quiet, because I was temporarily using the 8120's stock cooler and it would drive me nuts hearing it running like a remote controlled car anytime the processor would get worked.This T4 cooler, aside from the pain in the rear end installation, actually impresses me in actual use. It's ultra quiet and keeps my temps nice and cool. Idle temps, using core temp, show about 15c and prime95 stressing for 2 hours, the temps maxed out right about 45c, with no overclocking of course.It's not going to win any awards, but if you need a cheap cooling solution for AM3 processors, and you're willing to fight with the installation a little, depending on your ram and processor, then this is actually descent. I can't speak for intel installing though as I don't use intel.Oh, and as a note, this installs right onto an AM3 board with no need to remove the motherboard and install brackets on the back. It's pretty light too, at least compared to my V6 cooler, so I don't worry about it's weight stressing the board.

I saw the Coolermaster Hyper T4 on HotUKDeals for £17.50 and leaped on it. Due to another reviewer's advice, I always intended to get a CM Hyper and attach two fans (in a push/pull configuration) for extra cooling potential.I grabbed a cheap (£5) CM fan to go along with this, which I was able to fit immediately as the Hyper T4 comes with a spare set of attachments so you can attach another regular 120mm case fan.Fitting was a tight squeeze! The 'height' from the motherboard was no problem and my RAM is suitably low profile with no pointless heat spreaders, but it was still tricky clipping-in to the bracket near the motherboard's heatsink (Asus Z87-A).Fitting itself is relatively straightforward,although steady hands and a fair bit of space is required. If at all possible (and especially if you have a small case) fitting the cooler to the mobo outside of the case is recommended.The fitting instructions are relatively clear, which is good as I wasn't able to find an instruction video for this model, only the Hyper 212 which is very different in terms of how it attaches.Once fitted, my intended purpose was overclocking and I'm pleased to report it works perfectly.I overclocked my (3.4Ghz at stock) Intel i5 4670K CPU to 4.2Ghz and during full load in [stress testing software] Prime95 the highest temp I've recorded is 56°c (it's about 24° idle) so a huge success for about £22.50 total spend. By comparison, overclocked and using the stock fan the temps hit up to a whopping 90°c before I quickly stopped the stress test. Even at stock and idle, the CPU temp was generally 35 - 40°cThis is a quality, well-packaged product that comes with lots of fittings and at a very cheap price. I would only recommend a single-fan configuration for people wanting to generally lower the temps in their PC build though. Like me, if you are planning to overclock you should add a second 120mm fan (very simple to do: screw clips to fan; attach clips to heatsink) with the arrows facing the same direction on either side of the heatsink (i.e. <--||||<-- ) for excellent cooling at a bargain price.

So, what can I say? This AIO is great! The fans on the AIO are a bit loud at full-speed, but at 50% or lower are completely unnoticeable (at least with the level of background noise in my room). I have provided a picture of the temperatures of an overclocked i9-9900k at idle after (please note that the max temperatures shown in the image reflect the highest temperatures seen running benchmark tests on a few games like Far Cry 5). As anyone should tell you, pictures of core temperatures alone are useless without information about ambient temperature. I am using a Rosewill Spectra C100 case with great airflow inside of a room with ambient temperatures of 67F. This means that, at the 4GHz clock shown,the AIO has almost successfully cooled the CPU to surrounding air temperature at low loads. For gaming, I rarely feel the need to push the CPU beyond 4GHz as I game at 4k and receive little benefit from higher clockspeeds (GPU bottleneck with an RTX 2080 Ti). For professional work outside of gaming, I do push clock speeds to 5 GHz on all cores, particularly when I'm doing rendering work. In these professional workloads, I have never seen the temperature exceed the low-mid 80's on any core - perfectly acceptable for such a powerful overclock and high loads, multi-core loads. In terms of gaming, I rarely see my temperatures exceed the mid 50's.Now, for the bad - the setup! I'm an electrical engineer and it took me some amount of time to decipher the included instructions and figure out how to set up the RGB controller correctly (this thing includes an absurd number of wires - be ready to manage them). Once this was done, though, it does appear that the system does an okay job at interacting with MSI Mystic Light, and the pre-programmed RGB patterns are fine. If you're looking for something more flashy, there are definitely good alternatives as the RGB lighting on this system is quite conservative (not a bad thing IMO).

I was looking at two different coolers after my CPU started registering 80C with simple basic overclocking. I accidentally ordered this one, it was not on my list as I didn't like the wired module to control the lights. But here are my thoughts.INSTALLATION:Was a snap, instructions state 5 minutes and for most that would be fine. Just a word of CAUTION if you are already using a Non-Stock cooler and had replaced the stock plastic CPU Cooler mounts you will need to put them back on to use this cooler. I keep all of my old hardware in the original box so I still had them. There are plenty of hardware options to install in just about any case.The cables were easy to bend from CPU to where the fans/cooler mounted just be sure you are mounting them close. Most cases are probably supported.Fans are extremely quit. This is why I like/prefer Liquid Cooling over any other. My CPU temps are back down to 29C idle. Turns out I had incorrectly applied my thermal paste and it had broken down.CONS:I don't like the wired controller. Having a ASUS I wish it mounted and used the MB controllers directly.The cables were to SHORT. I had to use an extension for the RGB of the CPU to reach where I need to mount the controller to use it.The controller requires a SATA power cable. If you are a neat freak on your cables running one of these cables outside the case to this controller will not look good in most applications. The controller does have a magnet to snap to the case, but the stiffer wires will pull it off.I had trouble with the RGB extension from the CPU coming undone with the slightest move. I had to wire a wiretie around it to keep it connected.Overall. the Cooler does what it is supposed to do. It is a Cooler Master which is why it was on my short list.I will work on trying to bypass the limitations on the Controller and simply use my M/B for control if possible. If I work it out I will update my review.

My specs:Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe MotherboardIntel i7-2700K overclocked to 4.4GHzLGA1155 socket32 gigs DDR3 Crucial RAM (4 blocks of 8 gig each)2 gig EVGA GTX 760 SC with ATXANTEC 9000 full size gaming casePrior to adding this cooler, my system was constantly overheating above 72C when running handbrake, and games like Sims 3, Dragon Age Infinite, and most recently, Fallout 4. I couldn't play Fallout 4 for more than a half hour without my fans running like mad and my system freezing or force restarting. This was with the processor running at stock 3.6GHZAfter installing, under Prime95 stress test my CPU never elevated above 50C. I played Fallout4 for four hours straight with no skips, freezing,or restarts. In fact, my fans never elevated above a slight whisper. This remained the same even after modestly overclocking to 4.4GHZ.This cooler is worth every cent if overheating is preventing you from enjoying game playing. My case is 8.1 inches wide and the cooler fit fine, though I had to relocate my side case fan to the back of the cooler. It comes with a 120mm fan, but you can use whatever fan or fans you want. Fans are dampened with rubber pads and very quiet.Install issues:This was simple to install. Search youtube and you will find step-by-step install instructions. This was my first cooler-install and it went without much issue. One IMPORTANT note, though. Instructions aren't clear but make sure when installing the brackets to the standoffs, the nubs should be pointed toward the motherboard with the concave stamped sides facing out from the motherboard. It looks like you are putting them in upside down, but if you don't do it this way, the brace locks will slip off the brackets once tightened and the cooler will slip off. This is really important and will save you a lot of headaches and swearing. Besides that, super easy install.

I don’t overclock, so this cooler is probably overkill for me. However, after the stock cooler I had died, I needed something to replace it with. This works great. It allowed me to turn my computer on and lowered the temperatures I was seeing with the stock (around 50° C idle) by about 10° C. In game it was more noticeable, sometimes keeping the processer almost 20°. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who just wants to replace their stock cooler with something more robust.I will note that it wasn’t exactly the easiest thing to attach. My motherboard was a little tight and had several heat sinks around the CUP slot. The cooler is assembled in multiple parts, essentially a baseplate rig and the cooling tower.I was able to attach the baseplate stuff to the motherboard with no issues, but due to space limitations, it was very difficult to actually attach the tower firmly to the baseplate and lock it down. If you’re going to buy this, make sure there’s enough clearance to maneuver a bit around your CPU. While I don’t know how this compares to other nonstock coolers, compared to the stock one it’s huge and takes up quite a bit of room in my case. I also had a bit of trouble with proximity to my RAM. Luckily, it was designed in such a way that it clears the RAM height-wise, but because it’s above it, if I ever need to remove or replace the RAM, I’ll need to remove the cooler first.Pros- Quiet- Inexpensive- EffectiveCons- Large- The assembly directions can be a bit confusing at first- It’s a pain to put together by yourselfOverallIf you have the space and want an inexpensive cooler, I’d go for it. I’ve had it for about three months so far and had no issues. The fan is quiet and the whole assembly works like a charm. Once I actually got it installed successfully, there were no issues.

The product itself is a 5/5, but there are some cons that buyers should be aware of.CONS:1. The fan itself is huge! Much, much bigger than a stock CPU fan. I actually could not fit mine because the physical size of my RAM cards were too big, and had to spend more money on buying smaller cards. I took that opportunity to also upgrade those so there was value to that at least.2. The instructions are confusing and largely unnecessary! I assumed the fan would be an easy fit, but when I opened the box, it came with a ton of parts and vague instructions that sent me down a road of frustration. I ended up having to watch a Youtube video to discover that I was right initially and its just a matter of swapping the physical fans without taking apart any of the framework.3.THE FAN IS HUGE! After fitting it onto the CPU, my fingers were jammed into my (pretty large) case trying to latch it and plug in the power. I actually ended up accidentally bending some pins on my CPU because I just could not see anything I was doing trying to get it latched. I managed to fix the pins with some tweezers and get everything secured after some time.So why is this fan a 5/5 even with all this hell I went through? Because its so completely quiet, I can't hear the fan at all. The stock fan was so loud that I usually played with headphones on, but now I can play games in the middle of the night with the loudest sound coming from my mouse clicking. Its so quiet that I was paranoid and had to check multiple times that it was even running and that my CPU was actually staying cool.And all this for around 25$, its a steal as long as you have small RAM.

Pros: keeps my CPU roughly 10-20C cooler than the stock Wraith Prism cooler for the Ryzen 2700X. Came pre-installed with the bracket for my Ryzen chip pretty much preinstalled (just needed to add the screw-on clamps, no extra brace swapping or any other nonsense needed.Pretty RGB is pretty...Cons: It took a long time to figure out how to hook up the ARGB wiring due to less than sufficient instructions. Hoses are very rigid and are now seemingly perma-formed to the way they were wrapped/folded in the box. I can hear the pump churning water in/out through the case and through my fairly well-insulated headphones. It's not super quiet,but it's not as loud as the Wraith Prism's fan either...just a low hummmmmmmmmmm...Other thoughts: The black Cooler Master cover on the water pump can be removed to be able to be reoriented depending on how you mount the pump (hoses to the right or left...this is a nice touch I don't see used by all users) but it's honestly too bright without it. It would be cooler if you did...make an extra cover to let some of that bright ARGB light shine! It would be pretty cool to have a flow indicator showing back there too like some competitors' AIOs. I mean, I think it's just a cog-shaped plastic wheel on a pivot point. I don't think it even needs a good bearing to spin on since it's suspended in liquid, haha! Definitely a great AIO for the price and for the user who is into both the stealth look and that RGB lyfe....yo.Extra credit: My PC looks like it has a face at the angle of that picture and it might be scuba diving...

Easy to mount. Keeps the 1366 6 core Xeon chip cool. With Prime 95 beating on the cores the temps get close to 60C (nowhere near the thermal throttle) and as soon as I stop Prime 95 the cores drop to 32C in a matter of moments. Does what you need it to do for a decent price. If you want to do some super massive overclocking then you probably want something more aggressive. The metal didn't cut me like some other brands have in the past. I didn't use the included thermal paste so can't speak to that. I heard it was runny and it felt that way through the packet. I used some MX4 that I already had. Save yourself the hassle and make sure you put the "U" shaped clip pieces in the right way up on the mobo.I spent six minutes trying (and failing) to get the thing to clamp down until I realized that the brackets that you clip onto were upside down and the clips are sloped so it just kept sliding off of it. It is hard to see below the heat sink once you have it on the chip. They seem like they could go either way when I was putting it on the motherboard, but there is a correct up/down polarity so be sure to not make that mistake. Fan is not overly noisy in my opinion. I have not once heard it kick up to a high level, but I am also not overclocking anything so maybe I won't put too much burden on it. If you need a simple cost effective air cooler, this does the job.

Got this for a Ryzen build on X570 MB. Installed in a CM MB TD500 Mesh (White). First thing you will notice is the heft and a lot of it. Can be a bit difficult to install with all the fan cords and rgb cords and the hoses are not the most flexible in the world. I Installed this at the top of my case with the hoses at the rear of it. This will, at least it did for me, mean that a rear fan is not going to fit. At least not a CM MF120 (same as the ones that come with this rad). The top closest to the rad just would not allow one.I found a few videos online to help with the RGB install that helped quite a bit. I like the magnet controller, just wish the mag was a bit more powerful.It looks great once all set up and runs quiet even right next to me on my desk. May swap out the fans for new ones as the included ones do not light up the case very much as others have noted. They are rubberized at the four points which is nice though. The pump "cap" can come off and you can align it with your build once installed or customize your own.My only critiques would be to lengthen the hose a little bit more or make them more flexible. Thin the radiator down a tiny bit as it is a monster. Perhaps some brighter color fans or a couple other pump "caps" to come with it. Overall though it performs great for cooling my R5 3600X.

Over all great cooler and does the job well. When I did the install I did not setup any RGB until after I verified it was working. I installed it into a Corsair Obsidian 500D SE which already had the start of a different lighting ecosystem but I was anxious for the challenge. I didnt go all out on RGB hence why I didn't mind "mixing" both of the lighting ecosystems, this being on an ASUS ROG STRIX B360-H gaming mobo which also has 1 RGB Header (Not ARGB) so I know I won't be controlling the lighting from software just the supplied controller. I may later add a strip to that RGB header but really in hurry for that. I have another project before that and thats moving from a Corsair case to a cooler master C700M,those new cases which should be interesting and fun.It's a fantastic cooler but there's a lot of wires and the instructions/documenttion are HORRIBLE, I belive CM assumes if you're getting this cooler you already have a good knowledge foundation of coolers and RGB which I am lucky I do have. If you're new to AIO coolers these instructions will give you a nightmare if you only want cooling an no lighting don't buy the R version but the lights do give it nice flair.

I wish I had bought the T4 back in April instead of the Hyper 212 EVO. I have an MSI X370 Gaming Carbon Pro board and the special order AM4 bracket is a poor match for the X370 for a couple of reasons. First the backplate of the x370 wobbles with x bracket. If you try to tighten the standoffs they snap and are impossible to get. The 212 EVO fan extends over top the RAM sockets. If you have low profile memory you can remove the cooler fan, install and replace it to clear the memory chips. The Hyper T4 uses the AM3 mount for my Ryzen 7 and is turned 90 degrees, no longer blocking RAM and the fan is oriented to take the heat straight up thru the top fan and vents.The AM4 kit costs $7.00 for the Hyper 212 EVO if and when it's available.I built a PC in April that's been dormant since waiting for a standoff screw that's almost, but not quite the same size as the other standoff screws Cooler Master uses. Brilliant! Nor could they get one for me until late July and three days after I received the T4 I bought in desperation. The T4 is a much better choice, especially if you have the X370 MB.

It wound up taking me longer than I had anticipated to get the ML240R completely hooked up, but after several hours it seems to be performing quite well. My Ryzen 2700 (non-x) has peaked at 44 degrees celsius, with XMP on in UEFI. Peak speed shown by CPUID has been 4650 GHz across all cores (somehow), but I'm a tad suspicious of that number given most people's results overclocking. Overall the cooler seems to be quiet enough for me, and it looks pretty good. my primary gripes lay with the ARGB software - crashes frequently, and could use more options for lighting effects. While you can set individual LEDs to be different colors, every component on the ARGB controller has to be set to the same lighting effect (i.e.flashing). It would also be nice to have more control over regular RGB fans, to include a solid color mode.As other reviewers have noted, the instructions could use a little work in places (what wires go where), and the pins for the ARGB leads/controllers aren't the most secure. Overall though, not bad once you have everything where you want it.

I ordered this cooler based on positive reviews, and high thermal efficiency. It replaced a Thermaltake Water 3 140 mm single cell radiator, that was apparently not good enough for a 200 W CPU.Installation went realtively easy, though I had to figure out what attachments were good for my CPU?Mobo combination.Incidently this relied on the CPU original plastic brackets, that were removed for the Thermaltake.After completing installation, the water tubes are kind of rigid... had to figure out how to connect the RGB controller. After a few iterration, I was able to connect it successfully. One really needs to be PC dedicated to install these devices.In operation, extremely quiet...the pum has a larger diameter than the Thermaltake's pump. Completely silent. It reduced the overal temperature from around 45-50 V to.. now it shows 32 C.It took me an next day to attach the USB connection to be able to attach to the motherboard, and use the Master Plus software. But all is good. Very happy with this purchase.
