The screen on the unit can actually turn a full 330degrees, not via software but actually by turning the head itself! For all the other AIOs that I have seen so far, you can only turn their display output via their respective software. I have to also talk about the LCD(a huge 6圆cm LCD!) on the Aorus Waterforce X 240, this is what I would say is the centrepiece of this whole AIO(actually for your system). When I fired up Halo(first time playing Halo….) I got an avg temp of 65degrees when playing some of the heavier levels. While games like Warhammer and Starcraft 2 the avg highs that I reached were about 50 degrees. When loading up Need for Speed Heat, the Avg temp the AIO reaches is about 65 degrees with it sometimes hitting almost 70degrees. Luckily the Waterforce X 240 has enough length so that you can mount your radiator in the front of your case or in my case(and why I had to play with it a bit more) at the top of the case.Īfter a few hours of playing intense games and not so intense games, the Aorus Waterforce X 240 settled on an avg idle temp of 27-28degrees. I did find that when installing it in the Cooler Master chassis that I had on hand that it took a bit more manoeuvring to get the radiator and block to play together due to the more rigid tubing and size. This in theory would allow for more water to flow between the radiator and the water blocks pump. Gigabyte went with a thicker diameter tubing for the cooler, whereas your other AIOs use a 5.8mm tubing the Aorus Waterforce X 240 uses a 7.8mm tubing. I was impressed by the size of the tube that you get with the cooler, as I am so used to the small tube that you used to get with coolers(was enough just for one application). In the box, you get all your brackets for AMD(TR4, AM4, sTRX4) and Intel(2066, 2011, 1366, 115x, 1200 & 1700), some installation instructions and they even included some of their own thermal grease(if in case you don’t have your own and it is a massive tube). Unboxing the Aorus Waterforce X 240 was a real pleasure, instead of compressed cardboard they used propper foam insulation to make sure that the cooler stays in its place.
