CPU water cooler Darkflash DE240 (white) — 240mm radiator, closed-loop AIO

CPU water cooling DE240 (white)

Explore DE240 is a water cooler that is designed for high performance and striking appearance. The 2.88-inch magnetic IPS screen used displays system data in real time, and the ability to detach it and attach it to any metal surface of the case gives great freedom in interior design. The kit is equipped with two 120-millimeter PWM fans with ARGB illumination, which provide solid cooling even for powerful processors with TDPs of up to 315 watts.

IPS screen with monitoring function

Integrated into the water block, the 2.88-inch (480×480 px) IPS screen allows you to keep track of CPU temperature, fan speed, hours or modes in real time. Thanks to its magnetic mounting, it can be detached and mounted elsewhere - for example, on the front of the case. The displayed information is customized by proprietary software that supports themes, inter-device synchronization and AR visualizations.

Efficient cooling with a copper base

The water block is made of precision-cut copper plate, which allows for very good contact with the processor and fast heat transfer. The high-density heatsink has a low resistance to liquid flow and increased heat transfer surface area. The whole kit operates with a full fan speed range from 800 to 2000 RPM.

PWM ARGB fans

The kit uses two 120mm hydro-bearing (HDB) fans that provide high air pressure (up to 2.16 mmH₂O) and robust flow (up to 55.22 CFM), with a maximum noise of just 36 dBA. PWM support allows automatic speed adjustment according to CPU temperature. ARGB is compatible with the latest backlighting systems (ASUS Aura, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome).

Compatibility and easy installation

Explore DE240 is compatible with a wide range of processors: Intel LGA 115x / 1200 / 1700 / 1851 and AMD AM3 / AM4 / AM5. Installation is facilitated by pre-installed fans, a set of brackets and thermal paste. The whole thing is completed with nylon braided cables and 3-pin ARGB and 4-pin PWM connectors.

How to use

Install the Darkflash DE240 by mounting the 240mm radiator in a compatible case location (top or front, depending on case layout and airflow preference) and attaching the two included fans to the radiator. Secure the integrated pump-block on the CPU with the supplied mounting hardware for the appropriate socket type. Connect the pump and fan power cables to the motherboard headers—typically CPU_FAN or PUMP_FAN for the pump and SYS_FAN or CPU_FAN for the radiator fans—and configure fan curves in BIOS or software. Ensure radiator orientation and airflow direction match your case cooling strategy, and verify that there is no contact with memory modules or other components before powering on.

Recommendations

For stable thermals, place the radiator where it can access steady case airflow and set a balanced fan curve that prioritizes CPU temperature under load while minimizing noise at idle. Periodically inspect fan operation and cable routing; although the loop is sealed, maintaining a dust-free radiator and case will preserve cooling performance. Refer to motherboard documentation for preferred pump and fan header connections to ensure correct RPM reporting and power delivery.
