INTRODUCTION

   When people ask us about what kind of CPU cooler to use in their new systems our answer is always that it largely depends on the CPU model (TDP - thermal design power - required), budget and of course the tower/case they've chosen to use (due to interior space). As we've pointed out many times in the past thanks to their impressive cooling efficiency, size, easy installation and looks (especially due to the recent addition of RGB illumination) AIO (all-in-one) Liquid CPU Cooling Solutions are currently extremely popular among gamers, enthusiasts and professionals so i also tend to recommend them to people. ID-COOLING may not be among the oldest players in the market but they've released numerous CPU coolers since their introduction to the market back in 2013 and today with us we have their AuraFlow 240 AIO High Performance CPU Liquid Cooler which was announced in May of last year.
