While some might not want to spend their money on something that offers only the looks but not performance, the RM 879 priced AORUS LIQUID COOLER 280 is definitely not the case. There are plenty of fancy options out there for AIO liquid coolers and the AORUS LIQUID COOLER 280 is definitely one of it which falls on the ‘higher-end’ range with customizable LCD display and all the aesthetics you need. Not to say that it’s bad, but the cooler can perform even better with a better thermal paste and it’s proven by the numbers from the test results we have conducted. Of course, after you’ve replaced the stock thermal paste with a better one. The AIO liquid cooler that looks good and doesn’t suck when it comes to the performance is probably the best way for me to describe the AORUS LIQUID COOLER 280. Overall, the performance of the cooler is fairly okay, but after seeing the test results, I’d say it’ll do even better if you replace the stock thermal paste with those you can get from renowned brands such as Thermal Grizzly, Gelid, Cooler Master, etc. Similar to the test while running the stock settings, the CPU temperature peaked at 85☌ and dropped to 83☌ after the stock thermal paste is replaced. After replacing the thermal paste for the fourth batch of the test, I’ve noticed that the load temperature now peaked only at 66☌, which is clear that the stock thermal paste isn’t just as good as I’ve expected.įor the overclocked test, I have the CPU clocked to 5.0GHz and repeat the same set of routine all over again until a consistent reading can be obtained. While running at stock settings, the AORUS LIQUID COOLER 280 performs very similarly to both the other 240mm radiator AIO liquid coolers, peaked at 68☌ on load.
