Raijintek Orcus 240 RGB CPU Cooler Review

Closer Look
The face of the CPU header is a clear plastic, allowing the user to see the spinning blades inside the chamber, as well as indicating fluid levels. There’s also a ring of RGB LEDs inside, illuminating the liquid and spinning blades.



The base of the CPU cooler is more than large enough to cover most CPUs, save for perhaps AMDs ThreadRipper series.



Unlike any other all-in-one watercooling loop we’ve looked at, the pump isn’t located above the CPU, instead being suspended on the tubes between the radiator and the CPU. Raijintek claims this helps to reduce vibration and therefore noise.



The radiator measures 272mm x 120mm x 27mm, meaning there’s plenty of surface area for heat dissipation.



The provided 120mm RGB PWM fans feature white rings to exaggerate the RGB lighting, as well as 11 blades to force air through the densely packed radiator. Each fan also has rubber corners to help prevent vibrations between the radiator and the fans.



To provide RGB lighting without the use of software, Raijintek have provided an RGB controller, powered by MOLEX. This can connect to ASUS motherboards via the included wire or be controlled via the basic remote control. The remote control uses RF to communicate due to the controller likely being hidden away inside a case, making infrared useless.
