THE NITRO+ S240-A
Just like with most AIO models what really stands out is the pump of the NITRO+ S240-A.
The radiator is almost 27mm thick so again what we regularly see from Asetek.
I was surprised to find two clear pieces of plastic located where the two fans should get mounted (these are probably radiator covers meant to be removed - still no mention of this anywhere).
The radiator used with the NITRO+ S240-A has a high FPI (fins per inch) count of 24.
EPDM nylon sleeved tubes is not something we haven't seen many times in the past, 400mm long ones with an 240mm model is mostly a recent thing.
Aside the ARGB LEDs underneath the top of the pump SAPPHIRE has also used a very nice design.
Both tubes can rotate at the base of the waterblock/pump combo to simplify installation.
By default, the coldplate of the NITRO+ S240-A features a thin layer of thermal conductive material.
Since i don't use the stock thermal paste however it's worth pointing out that the copper coldplate has no machine marks on it.
The two 120mm brushless fans are manufactured by FirstD and feature rubber pads on all corners.
With the fans mounted onto the aluminum radiator the thickness increases to roughly 52mm.
