A Nice Mix Of Price And Performance
Phanteks’ Glacier One 240 MP is a worthy choice for someone looking for an easy to install AiO watercooler that needs minimal maintenance, not least of all because it sports a six year warranty. The Glacier One 240 MP will fit any modern processor, up to and including Threadrippers with the included adapter and at 272 x 12 x 27mm (LxWxH) it will fit most cases which can handle a 240mm radiator. The 120 fans are a nice highlight, white blades add a bit of flair without needing RGBs and the pump is from Asetek.
Modders-Inc tested the cooler on an Intel Core i7 9700K at both stock speeds and a 5.2GHz overclock in their open test bench. That decent overclock did not stress the Glacier One 240 MP overly, temperatures under normal load sat in the mid 50C while using a stress test designed to emulate a worst case scenario it remained stable at 83C.
The noise produced from these tests “from the fans and the pump is barely noticeable at lower RPM.“, a little louder under full load while overclocked but not if you remain at stock frequencies. It runs you around $140 to pick up, and don’t fear about your glowing lights, while the fans are RGB-free the cold plate features an aRGB Infinity Mirror to satisfy your needs.
