The new MasterLiquid Pro 280 Liquid CPU Cooler from Cooler Master does impress with the good quality of materials, durability of both pump, fans but also features impressive cooling capabilities when talking about an octal-core overclocked platform. Given we do have at our disposal the stock AM4 backplate, the installation for the Ryzen platform is pretty straight forward thanks to the Upgrade Kit and the supplied MasterFan Pro 140mm do offer an extra level of customization, by offering an integrated fan controller, with three different profiles.

Before purchasing the MasterLiquid Pro 280, make sure that your case does accommodate radiators of such size (311 x 138 x 27 mm); going back to the LED light customization, there isn’t one because the LED light will stay on continuously and shine blue while the pump is operating properly. Always make sure to plug in the pump to a non-regulated header, because if it does not receive the full 12VDC, its lifespan will be minimized due to improper usage.

The MasterLiquid Pro 280 Liquid CPU Cooler is available online for about 99 Euros, which is acceptable for a high-end AIO cooling system.
