Cooler Master is known in the enthusiast community for their innovative designs with product offerings ranging from cases to desktop and laptop cooling implements. Like many other manufacturers, Cooler Master offers its own line of all-in-one liquid cooling solutions. Unique to their Glacer 240L cooler is the ability to easily add additional cooling blocks into the base loop. The Glacer 240L has an fill port integrated into the base of the radiator for drain and refill and uses removable clamps on all connections for easy maintenance and tube reconfiguration. To measure the performance of the Glacer 240L, we set it against several other high-performance liquid and air-based coolers. With a $139.99 MSRP, the Glacer 240L comes at a premium price.

The Glacer 240L liquid cooler features a 240mm copper-finned radiator with the ability to add additional water blocks into the loop. Cooler Master dubbed this design "Semi-DIY" because is can be used as a high performance all-in-one liquid cooler or expanded to include other water cooling components in your system. They combined a 25mm wide 240x120mm copper radiator (with brass internal channels) and copper waterblock based in an acrylic housing for the pump and unit electronics. By using a copper/brass radiator and a copper CPU block, Cooler Master avoids the mixed-metal issue that most of the other all-in-one units are plagued with by using cheaper aluminum-based radiators. All barbs integrated into the radiator and CPU block are 90 degree barbs with full 360 degree rotation, allowing for unparalleled mounting configuration possibilities.

Cooler Master bundles in mounting hardware supporting all current Intel and AMD processors, as well as screws for attaching additional fans to the backside of the unit or for attaching it directly to a system case wall.
