ASUS ROG Strix LC 240 All-in-One Liquid CPU Cooler with Aura Sync RGB and Dual ROG 120 mm Radiator Fan

The rgb lighting is very nice quality and the noise level is decent. My 10700k which is overclocked to 5ghz on all cores is kept at or just below 80c while rendering video or running cpuz stress test.There is thermal paste pre applied which I have left on. It was very convenient.I don't like that the usb cable comes out the bottom right of the pump due to routing/cosmetics, but over all this has been a good aio.

Sits on a 13900k without issue, manages the temps easily

I love it very nice and very well built product had it in my PC almost 2 years and not had a single issue with it. Love it willbiy again for my next build.

Too noisy for the price. Expected better. Returned item.

Like so many PC enthusiasts I try to balance aesthetics and cooling performance to ensure that not only does my PC look appealing, but the cooling is adequate for whatever I throw at it.Personally the styling of this cooler was the first thing that caught my eye. I love a white /black colour scheme with another accent colour, in my case purple and this cooler compliments my setup so well.The installation was dead easy, the instructions were so simple to follow, and the whole unit felt very solid so it never felt like anything was going to be damaged during the installation. The finish of the paint on the radiator is superb. It has a beautiful sparkle to it and the whole thing was packaged so well that it would have to be extremely badly manhandled to be damaged in transit.The software is probably the biggest let down, but it's by no means a deal breaker. It occasionally will throw a fit and not want to do what it's told, but once you figure out its quirks it very straightforward to adjust your lighting exactly as required.I will run some stress tests and update the review with temperatures but given the case and lack of airflow, I have the fans as intakes pulling air through the radiator from the minimal airflow slots on the front of the case and it's absolutely fine handling a Ryzen 2700X at well over 4GHz without breaking a sweat.The main thing about the cooler is it allows me to keep my CPU cool without having loads of fans in the case as I like a minimalist appearance and less fans is one way to achieve that, yet it still passes air over the other components in the rig to ensure nothing overheats.I am content with the price as it's a stunning cooler visually and it does it's job without sounding like a hair dryer on full power. I never review anything straight away, but two months down the line it's been trouble free and I hope it continues that way for the duration of its life in my computer and should I upgrade my CPU down the line I know this will be more than capable of handling AMD's latest offerings.

Love this product. keeps my i9-13900K in a very cool state. I so enjoy looking at the display and unless i'm stress testing (not often) my cpu is always around 28-35 degrees C and never goes above 60 while gaming.Obviously this depends on the game, etc but NOTE that I did not use the provided Thermal paste, I bought my own and used that instead.Definitely recommend this and it comes with the LGA 1700 bracket too if you have a modern Mobo etc. Easy to setup, although I admit that I googled videos on how to set it up as I find this easier than reading a manual.

I purchased this cooler over some of the more cheaper ones available as the others had reviews mentioning leaks and inconsistent cooling. I am glad I went with this unit, its well made and put together to high standards.I use it to cool a Ryzen 5 which was running hot on air cooling as my case (a Lian Li TU150) has poor airflow and limited space being a MiniATX build. I experimented with the radiator placement and found that mounting it as a front intake worked best. My temps on air were high 80s under load and now they are 65 on average.The pump is virtually silent even on full power and the fan is powerful so doesn’t need to run fast to keep things cool – I have the pump set at around 60% power and the fan lower, regardless of load, and I find this is a perfect balance of cooling and noise levels.One thing I would recommend is to use your own thermal paste – the pre applied paste on the water block was dry and unusable so it has to be cleaned off and fresh paste applied.Really happy with the RGBs too, which are recognised by my motherboard and sync with the other RGB LEDs in the case.Highly recommended purchase if you need a compact cooling solution that is quieter than air coolers.

Very easy to install, though my unit was faulty, one of the fans was out of sync from the beginning, stopped working after few weeks, had no problem with replacement from Amazon. Only problem that remained is the noise. Fans on full speed are absurd, I’m not overclocking cpu to high temp so I flattened fan curve a bit at midhigh temperature, still, it is loud, not to mention full speed fans at every power up as I’m using complete shutdown and flip the switch on socket… it keeps cpu cool, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone just because of noise.
