THIS IS FOR SOFTWARE THAT I DIDNT COVER HOW TO GET IN THE VIDEO. Click the software link in the description of this video and scroll down until you see these to download links in this comment. Click the ARGB LED controller firmware first and go through that process that it tells you to do, then install master plus and you then are able to control the lighting in there.

Question. I have the same NZXT case and am planning on grabbing the same AIO (ml240l v2, newer version), although my only concern is how you've placed the fans on the radiator. Will having the fans placed the way have (intake position and behind the radiator) work the way it should? Shouldn’t it be blowing on the radiator instead of sucking air from behind the radiator?
Are the fans mounted the wrong way? It looks like the back of the fans are pointed inside the cabinet, that would make it so that they drag air from the outside, over the heat of the radiator and inside the PC... Would it not be better to have them pointed the other way, to drag warm air from inside the PC and push through the radiator (getting the same airflow, just pointing the other way) and out of the PC? Have other fans pumping cold air from the outside into the PC, and use these to push it out? The heat is not that much, but still more than if you changed direction of the fans... I am installing the same CM240 unit my self and have been wondering what way to put the fans ,and settled on pushing the air out through them would be best...
If you have to mount your rad on the front then preferably, if your hoses are long enough, your radiator should be flipped so the hoses are on the bottom with the top of the rads as high as you can get it above the CPU. The air accumulates at the highest point in the system and in this build the hoses are right at that highest point. IMO radiator placed on top of the case is the best placement.
I'm assuming you meant if the tubes are below the cpu would air get trapped in the block. Answer: Any air in the pump block initially will be churned up into tiny bubbles and circulated with the fluid. The flow is fast at the pump but slows down in the rad and will rise to the top of the rad. This why you can hear the bubbles for up to 30min or so. When the tubes are at the top like in this video the tubes are located right where the air pocket will accumulate. This can allow air to re-enter the pump. Typically in the beginning when your water cooler is new the air pocket is so small that it probably won't affect you but after a couple years as the liquid in the system permiates out and the air pocket increases it can lead to premature pump failure and/or audio noise.
This guy made a good video explaining why hoses on top on a front vertically mounted rad is not preferably. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BbGomv195sk.html
I have fans installed and I wanted to add a liquid cooler ... do I have to remove the fans and add the cooler instead of fans ? Or can I use both at the same time ?
It depends if you have clearance but you can put fans on either side of the radiator and if you put fans on both sides going in the same direction it is called push pull and that will give you the best airflow.
I have the same case you have but black and red edition What recommendation do you give me for the best airflow ? What should I use ? And where should I put them ?
And did your cooler master liquid cooler start to leak that strange green liquid ? Because I have seen a lot of people get that... and what other liquid cooler do you recommend around that same price point ?
Hi was wondering so you take out the case fans as well as the stock cooler to install the aio so I was wondering if I should get two case fans because I am going to just install the aio when I get everything so should I get the case fans or no
Hey man, are you able to have it sync with your other stuff in Asus Aura? I've got the same motherboard so I wanna know if I'd be able to have the ML240R working together with the motherboard and ram ARGBs.
Thanks for the vid, I have the same fan and was wondering if you set it up that way with the intake being on the front, will that be pulling warm air into the case? Because It is pulling air from the radiator at the front which warms up? Thanks
If you want to pull air towards your motherboard you need to install it facing down like what this guy did. Meaning the RGB fans should show the logo of cooler master and the RGB lights is on the radiator instead. You can also check arrows on the RGB fan there are supposed to be arrows there that tell you where the air flows in and out
Hey dude, thanks for the video. I was actually looking for an updated version of how to install the ML240R RGB exactly. But I just wanna ask, does it contain long screws? I unfortunately have a Silverstone PS15 RGB MATX case and I'm not sure if I'm able to install it on the front of the chassis (inside the mesh front)
Thanks for the comment, I would look into doing a video addressing some things from my pc videos that I have been getting questions on. The main problem is that these videos are getting quite old and feel they are outdated. I would like to just build a new pc but right now isn't a good time. I will think about it though
Hear Me out and dont buy this cooler, Not that It has bad temps, but that Me and many other people have had a leaking problem, The screws of the backplate where the cpu and cooler meet with thermal paste started leaking and creating green stuff
Hi, useful video. A couple of questions: 1) Can I control not Cooler Master fan with the controller? I can't see your model 2) How many ARGB connectors you need on the motherboard?
1) I believe as long as its Argb you can plug it into the controller 2) I have 0 Argb connectors so I plugged the controller in with internal USB 2.0 header that lets you use cooler masters master plus software to control it. Thanks for watching!
@@GTStrane damn, this answer saved my life. So i dont need a argb 5v 3pin in my MB to control argb leds and effects? Can i do this just with usb and software? Thats amazing
It depends on your fan curve and your CPU thermals, if you have generous fan curve and aren't on like HEDT cpu then it's very quiet at lower speeds but when it ramps up during cinebench runs OCed then yes its louder
friend, I'd like to leave a testimony here. In my case when riding according to your video, I noticed that the fans were inside the front of the cabinet, so I mounted them from the outside of the radiator to be visible in front of the case
The noise depending on your cpu is average. If you have 8 cores OC and you use it the fans get a little on the louder side depending on the fan curve. But considering that these fans are much cheaper than corsair I'm okay with it
Does it come with a thermal paste tube cause I see it didn't have some already applied so does it come with one or do I need to buy one separate if so may you link me one
Hi. What software did you use to control the RGB lighting? I have ROG Strix B450 - F gaming MOBO. The CM software in their website is not working at all. Can you please share the software that you have. :)
Since that Mobo doesn't have any 3 pin Argb headers you have to plug into I ternal USB 2.0 header from cooler master rgb controller. On the software side of it there is a few software's and it's quite confusing. This link below is to the website, you go to downloads at the bottom and download the master plus software if it doesn't recognize you have to update the firmware of the rgb controller so just search firmware update CM rgb controller and there's a installer for it. www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-liquid-coolers/masterliquid-ml240r-rgb/
You didn't make mistakes with overclocking, the max boost clocks of 2700 is 4.1Ghz. So that's your max that you can keep constant, you only need to lower voltages slightly and drop temps on CPU.
hello very good your video, could you help me, I also have that cooler but I can install the software I get unsupported. Maybe you installed the cables wrong or something because the motherboard does not seem to recognize it. You could step by step connect the cables.
The B450f does not have a 3 pin Argb header so you cannot sync with aura sync you need to connect via internal usb and the cooler master software, if you dont care about addressable rgb then use the 4 pin rgb header and you should be able to sync it
radiator is upside down, a chance that air will pool in the cpu pump increasing thermals whilst decreasing the aio life.... you can't go wrong with the radiator at the top of the case but you've certainly went wrong on the side intake.
@@MrBeetsGaming Are you dumb or just ignorant? The pump is lower than the radiator inlet/outlet... it should be at the bottom not the top, as to negate air pockets in the pump.
the radiator is upsidedown, the pipe should be at the botton of the radiator. this is so that it doesnt suck any air as a closed loop still has air in it. if you flip the radiator the other way up with the pipes at the bottom then it will never suck air and operate correctly. more than likely this could ware the pump out or it may see higher temps then if you installed it the right way up. it would suprise me if it makes bubbleing noises. hope this helps.
@@GTStrane sorry I’m just annoyed because my aio is showing up as no pump speed or anything and there one wire which ain’t connected but nothing goes with it
