Question 1

is this meant as a dedicated cpu cooler or a full water cooled system?

Accepted Answer

This is a closed loop, dedicated CPU cooler only.

Question 2

Does the thermal paste that some people say comes included any good?

Accepted Answer

It is fair at best. I did a decent amount of research on thermal paste before my build. What I found was you are better off spending an extra $12 to get a quality thermal paste. Several tests I saw online showed the paste that comes with CPU coolers does not perform very well. I other words the supplied thermal paste will not keep your CPU as cool as a quality paste will.

Question 3

does it come with pre-applied thermal paste?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not. It does come with a small tube of thermal paste, I believe.

Question 4

what kind of liquid does it use, in case it needs to be cleaned/filled?

Accepted Answer

This is a closed loop setup. You should never have to refill it. Worst case, there are several websites that sell fluids for watercooled systems.

Question 5

Does it work with Asus Aura Sync?

Accepted Answer

It only works with the addressable header on the ASUS motherboards.  If your board has only the standard RGB header, you will have to use the supplied controller to make the RGB work.

Question 6

do i have to add liquid to it ?

Accepted Answer

no. this is an all in one closed loop unit, aka sealed. no filling or maintenance needed.

Question 7

does it support msi mystic light?

Accepted Answer

Not that I am aware of. It comes with a controller (wired.. not wireless) and I keep it in the case. When I want to change the colors I just open it up. It has a couple preset color options to choose from and that's about it

Question 8

Anyone know if this will work with a 7800x3d?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240R ARGB is compatible with the AMD Socket AM4, which is the socket type used by the AMD 7800X3D processor.

Question 9

What is the fin density of the radiator?

Accepted Answer

Really? Not sure the manufacturer would even know that.  Fin density  LOL

Question 10

I see the control box has a 4 pin rgb header, is this compatible with asus prime x470 aura sync?the board only  has a 12v 4 pin rgb headers

Accepted Answer

No ARGB requires 3 pins if you plug it into a 4 pin It will short the leds and loose functionality. I would double check your motherboard most have 3 pin (ARGB) and 4 pin (RGB) headers.
