CONCLUSION

   The original AuraFlow 240 didn’t manage to impress us with its cooling efficiency so when the AuraFlow X 240 arrived and we compared their specifications sheets we were actually worried that it would perform in the same manner. Now we can’t really tell what ID-COOLING did differently but if we had to guess then the pump/waterblock combo is at the top of our list of things that could actually improve its cooling efficiency by almost 7 full degrees Celsius. Unfortunately, although the fans used in the AuraFlow X 240 are not the exact same as the ones used in the AuraFlow 240 they are also quite loud and that is pretty much the sole drawback of this AIO. Looks are quite good although their upcoming AIO models with their DF-12025-ARGB fans will be clearly in the lead in that regard (review soon).

   ID-COOLING are known for their aggressive pricing policy and so just like the AuraFlow 240 the brand new AuraFlow X 240 with its recommended price of USD $79.99 / 79.99€ falls in the very budget-friendly category. Unfortunately, at the time of this review it was out of stock on most stores so availability is probably even more of a concern than noise levels. With that also out of the way the AuraFlow X 240 may not be the best looking or the highest performance AIO currently in the market but it does offer a very tempting package for people on a tight budget and since we were quite impressed by it, we’re happy to give it our Golden Award.
