ID-COOLING SL240 White CPU Liquid Cooler with Display - Custom LCD

Our review of the ID-COOLING SL240 White finds it best suited for gamers and content creators who want a strong 240mm AIO with a customizable display and refined aesthetics. The single biggest reason to buy is the 2.1' LCD dashboard that lets builders show images, animated MP4s or live performance metrics while the dual AF127 ARGB fans and high-speed pump deliver capable cooling for modern Intel and AMD sockets. Installation and lighting integrate well into white or light-colored builds, making it a practical pick for visually focused systems.

Key Features

• Custom 2.1' LCD dashboard: Lets you display images, GIFs, MP4 files or live stats so the cooler becomes a personalized focal point inside the case.
• Dual AF127 FDB fans: Provide stable airflow and quieter operation compared with sleeve-bearing fans, helping sustained thermal performance under load.
• ARGB lighting: Pump and fan ARGB ensures consistent, even lighting that complements white or light interiors for a cohesive look.
• Powerful pump: A pump rated to run at about 2500 RPM under DC 12V delivers strong coolant flow for improved heat transfer while advising full speed to avoid extra noise.
• Simple cable management: Daisy chain fan connectors reduce cable clutter and make wiring cleaner in multi-fan setups.

Who It's For

The SL240 White is aimed at PC builders who prioritize both cooling performance and presentation, especially those with white or light-toned cases who want a built-in display to showcase images or system metrics. It suits gamers, streamers, and workstation users building mid- to high-performance rigs that use 240mm radiators.

Users who need absolute silence from a compact cooler or those constrained to smaller ITX cases should look elsewhere, since a 240mm radiator and a pump running near full speed are not ideal for the smallest enclosures or purely ultra-quiet builds.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Customizable 2.1' LCD offers unique personalization and real-time metrics for a more informative build.
• Strong cooling capacity from the 240mm radiator paired with dual AF127 FDB fans and a high-speed pump.
• ARGB on pump and fans produces consistent, attractive lighting that pairs well with white interiors.

Cons

• Some users report mixed noise impressions; a minority described grinding sounds while others found it quiet, so single-sample variance is possible.
