Aorus Waterforce 240 - Too Little for Too Much.

My review of the Aorus Waterforce 240. This is Gigabytes Non X version of their 240mm All-in-One Water Cooler. They fixed some things and took others away. So, is it worth it?

I know this video is one year old, but I got to throw this in. I got is as a really good deal for 80€ and seeing your tests go he’s me a good feeling about my purchase. It might not be the best but it’s a good one. Thanks for your good and honest review!

[@sideshow00]

Thanks, the one I found was much cheaper so this is surely a good buy.

[@garryconnors8804]

$100 premium for 0.4 degrees, definitely worth it 👌 🤣

[@ghjong001]

They need to charge that much to cover the cost of refunds on their PSUs...

[@stevedeitry4644]

This was looking real good till you showed the price. I have a gigabyte motherboard and GPU but I still wouldn't pay that much for this.

[@tautau22BR]

what thermal compound you used in test?

[@7474shawon]

Your Procecor Am4 Socket / Am5 Socket ?

I have a waterforce x 240. The liquid status shows zero degrees. The other information is displayed correctly, but the liquid status information is zero. The processor is a Ryzen 9 5900x. Does anyone know any solution for this? already installed and reinstalled the newer versions of RGB fusion and Aorus Engine, and nothing.

[@PNSP]

I had the same problem so I requested a replacement from Amazon and the new works fine.

[@tomdelonge2305]

Does it not come with thermal compound pre applied?

[@Bbknuckles]

Did you ever figure this out? I'm currently having this issue. I bought mine pre built from NZXT and I didn't get the extended warranty. Ooof.

[@sentranne]

You’re awesome!

[@akiraic]

I only wish asus made more hardware. Their software, even tho bulky, it's ages ahead of anything else.

[@alhends5043]

Anyone know if this fits in a a4 h20?

[@aczi.]

yep, it should

[@lunaumbra5179]

I like your videos but I will never understand rgb anything in a desktop. I want mine black opaque and silent out of view. Weird trend!

[@ElevatedSystems]

There have always been trends in gaming PC'S dating back to the advent of the LAN Party. Gamers wanted their rigs to stand out and represent their personalities. I should do a video on the evolution of the gaming PC from the beige box to the current TG and RGB builds.

[@lunaumbra5179]

@@ElevatedSystems I'd watch it! Makes sense wanting to personalize. Thankfully I don't have to own one myself 😋 also I'm not a gamer.
Are you a gamer? What do you play?

[@ghjong001]

@@ElevatedSystems A part of me wants to build a retro beige box. Then the nostalgia filter fades and I remember how awful they looked (not to mention the lousy ventilation).

As someone who has been building systems since my first 386dx-40 and having covered cases. I guess we are all different. One system I built was all clear acrylic, I designed it Dr. Who style, with various little toys inside and lighting. I spent a good 20+ years with PCs and little color. I like a change. Current system only the ram lights up and only orange. They have come a long way. But you are always free to buy a case you can't see any component and not run any lights. But that doesn't sound too enjoyable.
