Following up on our review of the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 360, we are back in this review with the 240mm version. With identical hardware specifications, save for the radiator size and number of fans, we expect performance to be similar in most aspects. The Elite Liquid series of AIOs from Cooler Master are available in both 240mm and 360mm sizes, and in both black and white colorways. ARGB-lit fans and a dual-chamber pump design pair up with a 240mm radiator for cooling duties, and a muted ARGB glow from the pump housing adds a bit more flare to this cooler. Let’s get right into this “little brother” review!
Special thanks to Cooler Master for providing the Elite Liquid 240 review sample!
Specifications of the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240
Packaging of the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240
The Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 comes packed in a minimalist cardboard box, with a bit of an outline visual of the cooler’s pump housing design. This is a very minimalist design, which seems to be perfectly in line with the cooler itself.
Around the back of the box is a small specifications table, providing valuable information about the cooler inside.
Inside of the outer box, the cooler is held in place via a simple molded cardboard tray, with the components further protected from superficial damage via plastic wrappings.
Accessories that come with the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240
Included with the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 are all of the installation components required for modern AMD and Intel platforms, as well as a few regulatory and marketing materials. This hardware bundle includes mounting brackets, fan screws, and some cabling used to connect the fans to the rest of your system. Thankfully, Cooler Master does provide a printed manual to assist with installation duties. Unfortunately, no additional thermal paste is included with the cooler, and while we do appreciate the convenience of pre-applied paste, a small tube of extra paste is always a welcome item.
