Appearance and detail display

The ice head of the ice god G240 RGB is redesigned. Unlike other ice gods, the material surrounded by the edges is a bright paint layer. The middle area is lit with a light atmosphere and will fit the fashion design more closely. The lighting area is a circle in the outer circle, which removes the text color of COOLER MASTER, leaving a sleek hexagon logo (that is, its brand Logo) and it looks mysterious and eye-catching.

In terms of details, the water-cooled head cover can be easily dismantled, and the inside of the dismantling area is a light guide layer area. This is a detail that focuses on the player's installed experience, because it can avoid the situation where Logo is not correct due to the installation of the water-cooled row to other locations. And if the player is very capable, you can use DIY 3D printing technology to customize other covers.

After dismantling the upper cover, it is seen that there are four grooves, according to the different installation direction of the cold row, the upper cover can also be installed to the right direction.

Contact surface is pure copper base, jet cold head.

Water-cooled head with 3-Pin 5V programming light interface and 3-pin water pump interface.

The Ice God G240 RGB follows the FEP braided cold pipe of the Ice God series. Compared to ordinary rubber pipes, the service life will be longer and the sealing performance will be stronger. Even if it is bent at will, it will not affect the flow of internal water coolant. This design look and feel is also better.

Ice God G240 RGB uses a 240 thin cold row, the specific size of 277x119.6x27mm, in accordance with the size of the standard belongs to the 240 mainstream program, cold row length in 280mm, thickness of 25 to 27mm or so, while a small number of manufacturers only the standard 240mm Long, this is when the player purchases, it should pay attention to the compatibility details with the chassis.

The COOLER MASTER Logo printed on the side of the water cooler row, but not with RGB lights, is a pity.

Ice God G240 RGB is equipped with two MasterFan balanced fan, this fan blade and frame can both take into account the relationship between air volume and air pressure, which is beneficial to the cooling of water cooling. It has a new light design, bearing a circle of 8 built-in WS2812B lamp beads, Including the IC chip driver is also integrated, the other equipped with a light controller is one of the highlights of this product.
