Conclusion

...targets enthusiast users wanting high-end liquid cooling in a hassle-free package that doesn't break the bank.

Cooler Master has revamped its range of liquid-cooling solutions with the introduction of all-in-one MasterLiquid Pro units in 140, 240 and 280 form factors.

Offering solid build quality and bundled high-pressure fans, the range-topping 280mm model targets enthusiast users wanting high-end liquid cooling in a hassle-free package that doesn't break the bank. Installation is a doddle, cable clutter is kept to a minimum and a five-year warranty offers added peace of mind.

The MasterLiquid Pro 280 isn't the quietest liquid cooler on the market, and the pump's blue LED won't suit every build, yet it can easily tame a modern CPU and keen pricing makes it a viable choice for overclockers seeking maximum frequency with minimal fuss.

The Good

Keen pricing for a 280mm unit
Five-year warranty
 
Blue LED won't suit every build
Not the quietest all-in-one solution

Bequiet one trots along and not much of a price premium if you shop around.
No AMD4 at lauch just sounds ridiculous…
One other potential snag is the switch on each fan that allows you to choose between performance, quiet or silence operating modes. It's nice having the choice, but the switch is on the central part of the fan and, if you choose to orient the cooler in the recommended way - with fans blowing air through the radiator - the switches get lost in the sandwich.

Seriously??!!

AHH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! :lol:
