MSI 306-7ZW1B41-813 MAG CORELIQUID 240R V2 CPU Cooler

The MSI MAG CORELIQUID 240R V2 is a 240mm all-in-one liquid CPU cooler targeting the mainstream performance segment. The 240mm radiator paired with two 120mm ARGB PWM fans delivers thermal dissipation suited to 65–180W TDP CPUs — covering the majority of current-gen Intel Core i5/i7 and AMD Ryzen 5/7 processors at stock and moderate overclock settings. The pump head carries addressable RGB illumination, and both fans are ARGB-equipped; all three zones are manageable through MSI Center, providing per-zone lighting control alongside integrated fan speed tuning. The inclusion of LGA 1700 mounting hardware in the retail package means Intel 12th and 13th Gen builders can install directly without sourcing additional components.

This cooler fits best in mid-tower builds with a 240mm top or front radiator position and in configurations where the builder is invested in MSI Center for unified system control. It is a less compelling choice in non-MSI environments where ARGB sync is limited, or for users running extreme overclocks on high-TDP chips where a 360mm radiator would provide meaningfully more thermal margin. Build quality is solid — the radiator tubing is flexible enough for varied mounting orientations, and the pump head mounting mechanism is straightforward for builders of all experience levels. Fan noise under full load is moderate and consistent with the expectations of the 240mm AIO category.
