Cooler Master MasterLiquid PL240 Flux
Cooler Master’s PL240 Flux is an extremely quiet cooler, featuring ARGB lighting. It can handle thermally demanding CPUs like Intel's i9-12900K when restricted to 200W or less, but it’s better suited to a mid-range CPU like Intel’s Core i5-12600K.

Product details
- ENHANCED PUMP BLOCK - A re-engineered micro-channel copper plate with 20% increased surface area is fed by an extra-compact dual-chamber pump with ceramic impeller for optimized water flow and pressure; The result is a compact & more efficient water block
- PERFECTED FOR FLUX - The Flux radiator fans feature interconnected fan blade rims for superior air pressure (2.96 mmH2O), volume (72.37 CFM), and noise reduction (32 dBA max); A reinforced frame with bevelling improves stability & helps focus air flow
