When the ready Cyberpunk 2077 was on the market, it is of course obligatory for game lovers to collect a new system. A good processor, a new graphics card, SSD and RAM blocks, of course, a cooler is a must for a good system. Failing even one of these pieces of equipment indicates a performance that will burst somewhere, and gamers know this well.

Today, our topic is XPG Levante 240. We’ve been using XPG’s both RGB patterned and liquid-boosted CPU cooler for a while, and frankly, we are very satisfied with the performance it provides. There would also be a video of this post; We also wanted to show you the cooler closely, but the Covid-19 quarantine undoubtedly covered us as well as everyone, so we could not shoot its video. However, we will definitely share a separate video about this device with you in the future. Yes, let’s get to know the XPG Levante 240 a little more.

All the parts you may need for the installation of the XPG Levante 240 are included in the box. You can find all the parts you may need, such as Intel and AMD brackets and cables, and complete the installation easily through the booklet. After the installation is completed, it takes its place in your case with all its elegance. In the meantime, let’s also mention that it supports LGA 1200, 1366, 115x, 2066, and 2011 on the Intel side and AM4 CPU socket support on the AMD side.

XPG Levante 240, of course, consists of a full-size heatsink. On the front of the aluminum radiator, we see that there are double ring 120 mm fans mounted on it. These fan designs are both low-noise design and attractive to the players with their RGB lighting. The fans contain 20 LEDs managed by ARGB Sync and these LEDs are compatible with most motherboards, especially the new generation motherboards.

The effective performance of the XPG Levante 240 in the cooling solution is undoubtedly supported by the pump design as well as the use of solid aluminum material on the wide 240 mm radiator surface. This pump is the heart of the device, which circulates the cooled low-evaporation coolant inside the device through the CPU and sends it to the 240 mm radiator with the help of rubber pipes with sleeves. Here, Asetek ‘s newest cooling solution is used. As a result of this design, which consists of a 0.15 mm micro-channel copper plate that provides a large cooling area and heat exchange efficiency, we can say that an enormous result has been achieved.

One of our favorite aspects of the XPG Levante 240 is that the performance of the fans, which can operate between 600 and 2000 rpm, is effective, as well as providing a pleasant silence in terms of noise. While there is a great balance between temperature and acoustics, especially those who will be upgraded to such a liquid-cooled cooler after an air-cooled fan will also appreciate it.

XPG Levante 240, which keeps the processor at 25 – 27 degrees when the system is idle and provides temperature values between 55 – 65 degrees under load in Benchmark software, produces very effective results in-game performance and circulates the temperature of the processor between 35 – 40 degrees. While these are very effective values, of course, we also measured the sound values produced by the fans.

The XPG Levante’s fans above 240 produce 34 dBA of noise while operating at 25 percent. This noise increases to 38 dBA at 50 percent turnover and 45 dBA at 100 percent. These results are also very good in general. Summing up

At the beginning of the review, we said for those who will collect the system, but for those who want to update their system, the XPG Levante 240 is a very preferable cooler solution. It is certain that you will get an effective performance difference with your old cooler. Of course, there are also more affordable alternatives, you may want to consider them, but you should also examine them closely. You can now find XPG Levante 240 in the market for 1129 TL. If you’re looking for a good and trouble-free CPU cooler, the XPG Levante 240 is our recommendation.
