Cooler Master Nepton 240M review - Article

Introduction

We test and review the all new Cooler Master Nepton 240M, a 240mm Liquid cooler that is performing quite OK in a dense LCS kit market. Cooler Master announced the new Nepton model with a 240mm radiator cooled by two active fans. These are designed to be small solutions that are affordable for most of you guys. The product as tested today for example will hover in the 90 EURO marker. 

The Nepton series liquid coolers have the same radiators as previous models, but do get some improvements in the pump/waterblock, as well as updated low-noise fans and a new design. Cooler Master says the “Advanced Silent Driver” in the Nepton pumps will offer extremely low vibration levels, providing a 120 L/hr flow rate at 11dBA. The units feature a Cooler Master-designed water block with a “large microchannel surface area and a high-efficiency jet impingement system to optimize hotspot cooling performance”.

The Nepton 240M are self-contained (AIO) units and don't require that much setup installation and usage wise. The pump and radiator ship pressure tested, pre-filled, and sealed directly from the factory to provide maintenance-free operation for years. This ease of use extends to its support of the latest Intel and AMD sockets; including the latest Intel LGA 1155/1156/2011 and AMD FM2 sockets. In today's review we'll be examining the Nepton 240M; armed with two 120mm fans and a 240mm radiator it is one of the more affordable 240MM products we have tested to date. However, as stated the market is fierce and competitive, will the Nepton 240M be able to offer enough cooling performance ?

Well, let's find out, but have a look at what's tested today first.
