Manufacturer description

The Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L V2 RGB is a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler built for mainstream gaming and workstation builds that need more thermal headroom than a stock air cooler provides. At its core sits Cooler Master's 3rd Gen dual chamber pump, which pairs a copper plate heat exchanger with greater water volume capacity, an improved flow rate between chambers, and triple industrial-grade EPDM rubber gaskets to guard against long-term leaks. The V2 radiator carries fins that sit significantly deeper in the frame for a 25 percent increase in surface area, giving the wider water…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L V2 RGB CPU Liquid Cooler using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the cooling & fans category. Cooler Master's cooling & fans lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for cooling & fans of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the ML240L V2 RGB fit my case?

It uses a 240mm radiator with two 120mm SickleFlow fans, so your case needs a front or top mount that accepts a 240mm radiator. Check the product listing for radiator thickness and socket compatibility before ordering.

How loud is this cooler?

Cooler Master rates the SickleFlow 120 RGB fans at 27 dBA using an ultra quiet rifle bearing, and lists the V2 as significantly quieter than the previous generation. Pump noise is separate from the fan rating.

Can I sync the RGB with my motherboard software?

Yes. The fans and pump connect to any RGB-compatible motherboard via a 4-pin header. If your board lacks one, the included wired controller and 3-to-1 splitter let you set effects manually.

What makes the V2 different from the original ML240L?

The V2 adds the 3rd Gen dual chamber pump with a copper plate heat exchanger and triple EPDM gaskets, a radiator with 25 percent more surface area from deeper fins, and brighter RGB with quieter operation.

Is it worth buying over a large air cooler?

The 240mm radiator and 2.5 mmH2O static-pressure fans give it more sustained thermal headroom than most single-tower air coolers. Air remains the simpler option in tight cases.

Key Features

  • QUIETLY IMPROVED V2 RBG With more vivid RGB lighting, enhanced cooling and significantly quieter performance, the ML240L V2 RGB sets the bar even higher for quality mainstream liquid coolers.
  • 3RD GEN. DUAL CHAMBER PUMP The copper plate heat exchanger anchors Cooler Master’s 3rd Gen. dual chamber pump, which features greater water volume capacity, improved flow rate between chambers, and triple industrial grade EPDM rubber gaskets.
  • SURFACE AREA INCREASED BY 25% The internal radiator fins are significantly deeper within its sleek frame, leading to highly efficient heat dissipation along the wider water channels.
  • ADVANCED SICKLEFLOW 120 RGB FANS With their ultra quiet rifle bearing, the translucent 7 blade Air Balance 2.0 fans provide higher air pressure (2.5 mmH2O) with less noise (27 dBA). The new frames feature a screw hole spine which improves overall structural durability.
  • RGB MOTHERBOARD SYNC OR WIRED CONTROLLER Can be synchronised to RGB compatible motherboard systems (4 Pin) or assigned manually via a wired controller and 3 to 1 splitter (included).
