 What's up internet? Negativity is popular on the internet and you can chase views by trying to make mountains out of mole hills. The worst YouTuber ever and sinned! Cell phone X is 2mm larger than its rival and you couldn't pay me to use it. Inso ang nega. But that's not our channel. Here at Hardware Sugar, we try to focus on the positives. And we genuinely try to see the effort that the brand and engineers have poured into their product. We go out of our way to suggest use cases that maybe this product isn't good for this person but for this other person with a different use than the product would be okay. So we don't take this lightly but this is our very first do not buy recommendation. And it goes to MSI's Core Liquid 240R AIO. I didn't buy a DC. I just need Windows. Pero saan kong kong kawa ng legit windows? Daming options, daming prices? Aka nito! Uw dila lang, may cdkeyovers.co. Magdalila ko morder! Search for the software you need. Add to cart. Dahan ka sa payment options nila. Wala pag 5 minutes. Finished! May legit, working cdk ka na para sa windows mo. Gamitan lang awing code para makakuhapan ng discounts. Kaya kung nagahalap ka ng legit, mura at original software. Check out cdkeyovers.co. You know the Core Liquid, initially it looks good. Assetically the CPU block rotates, the MSI Dragon, you know, looks good in RGB. Performance is also not bad. Temperatures are what you would expect from a mid-range, well-priced AIO. Where it fails, utterly is reliability. We bought a total of 14 of these AIOs, sold all of them, and 7 of them have come back because the AIOs just aren't cooling. As an example, we had a customer report that her CPU was at 5% load and her temperature was 91 degrees. Other customers had CPUs shutting down on them because of overheating. One customer returned his entire rig that he bought from us because he was just so fed up with the overheating problem. The Core Liquid 240Rs were just not doing their job. 50% failure rate so far, and that rate could go higher as more people might return the AIO. But even that failure rate is just unacceptable. Granted, 14 is a relatively small sample size, but we have sold more AIOs from other brands. And none of them have had this problem on this scale. This is the only AIO we've experienced with this high a fail rate. And 7 are just the ones that we sold and came back to us. We've also seen Core Liquid 240Rs bought from other stores, and then the customer comes to us to ask us to diagnose why their CPU temps are so high. The Core Liquid lasts for around 6 or 7 months and then from there, failure is a distinct possibility. Why are they failing? To be honest, we don't have the technical know-how to answer that. But this AIO is of the more uncommon design that the pump is in the radiator rather than in the CPU block. Could this be causing the failure? Maybe? Honestly, we can't say for sure, but the pump and rad design does set the Core Liquid 240R part from most of the other AIOs that we sell. If you know our shop, you know that we take warranty seriously. So when a customer comes back to us with a busted Core Liquid 240R, we replace it with a brand new one. Or at the customer's request, we replace it with an entirely different CPU cooler. Still too early to tell if the replacement new ones that we've installed will fail as well. You have failed me for the last time. I have stopped buying the Liquid 240R. In fact, we stopped buying them even before all of these problems came out. We have stopped selling them because we do have extra of these AIOs because some customers opt to just get a different CPU cooler. To be fair to our distributor, after some initial hesitation, they've replaced all of the Core Liquid 240Rs that we've sent back to them. Again, we don't like being negative, but the Core Liquid 240R's failure rate is just unacceptable. Don't buy it, it's a lemon. If you have already bought it, do monitor your CPU temperatures and if you're seeing high temperatures even on little or no load, then it's a good bet that your AIO has failed. And don't use your computer until you replace that AIO with a CPU cooler that works. Thanks for watching. And thank you to our top fans na afford na namin to kupuwa na ito. Ande jok lang.
