Well, just few weeks back we have reviewed the ID-COOLING FROZN A410, CLICK here if you want to know more too. Now this time we will look at ID-COOLING Space SL240, which is an AIO Cooler that satisfied the need for more cooling and lower temps for mid end to higher end processors, such as the Ryzen 7 or above or an Intel i7 12th generations and above, having said that, you can use it on lower tier processors as well and no one is stopping that.
Design & Features
The ID-COOLING Space SL240 is based on the ZOOMFLOW series as indicated by it’s signature rounded circular pump that seats at the processor mount. Among the attractive features it has is the 2.1 inch LCD screen which also can be configured with ID-COOLING Space LCD software which will touch about it later.
Let talk about the core of the SL240, the radiator which is obviously a 240mm type is made out of aluminum while the copper insulated plate on the pump keep things flowing steadily. As an AIO the major advantage to it is everything is made to be tight shut so there is no water leakage and all of these were tested correctly in the factory and solely made for install and forget way. It comes with a pair of 78CFM Fan measured at 120MM, featuring Dynamic Fluid Bearing for quiet spin and of course, it will either speed up or slow down depending on the overall temperature measurement, you can either set it to auto or manually tweak it under your motherboard BIOS settings.
Installation and Setup
For the test, we choose to use the latest AMD AM5 platform with the included ID-Cooling in box kits and the fans, part of the screws are used in it as I am still using the FROZN A410 Cooler, which the base and plates are compatible with the overall system installed during the benchmarks, the rest of the hardware used is listed below.
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 7 7700X AM5 Processor (Stock Mode) |
| Motherboard | ASRock B650 PG Lightning |
| RAM/Memory | Kingston Fury Renegade RGB DDR5 6400Mhz (16GB X 2) |
| Cooling | ID-COOLING Space SL240 |
| GPU | AMD Radeon 7800 XT (16GB) |
| Storage | 512GB NVME (Boot) + 1TB NVME 4.0 (Storage/Games) |
| Power Supply | AIGO GS750 Modular (750W) |
| OS | Windows 11 Pro (22H2) |
All of the BIOS, OS and Drivers were updated to the latest version as of December 26th 2023.
ID-COOLING App
The ID-COOLING App has advantages but also carries some of the disadvantages. I will summarize it. First off, the app allows you to customize the 2.1 inch colorful LCD screen, which includes rotation and angle, several pre configured monitoring styles allowing you to see the pump, fan speed and temperature. On top of that you upload your own GIF or MP4 format files to display on the LCD screen, giving it some form of flexibility for the display. Now the minor down side, the RGB lighting can only be controlled by the motherboard brand software such as ASROCK’s Polychrome Sync, however for the majority, it should be a minor thing as one would install both in order to customize the RGB light and the screen.
Benchmarks
Idle Records
Ambient Temp : 23 Celsius
Surface Temp Recorded on Heatsink : 33 Celsius
Surface Temp Pump Recorded : 37 Celsius
| App/Game | Max Temp Recorded |
| Geekbench 6 | 78 Celsius |
| Cinebench R23 (multi core) | 93 Celsius |
| Cyberpunk 2077 (high settings) | 77 Celsius |
| Returnal (High Settings) | 59 Celsius |
Under our simple benchmarks on the applications and games tested under single run, which is seemingly on par with most of the 240 type AIO out there, and able to sustain in both short and long periods of heavy loads with ease, and since we are testing this with the Ryzen 7 7700X, anything around the Intel Core i7 14th generation, Ryzen 9 7000 series or lower will have no problem with this cooling solution and compatible with most of the modern ATX and MATX casing out there. Sitting idle the fans will spin around 1550RPM while on full load it is running around 2200RPM which is quiet in my personal observation should you place it in a proper casing.
Verdict & Conclusion
The ID-COOLING Space SL240 is quite affordable compared to it’s competition, also considering the selling points and features that is the inclusion of the LCD screen and all the ZOOMFLOW improved advantages over their AIO cooling system such as the bigger block size, yet there is no need to get additional base plate or conversion for different platform as the kit has included the kits towards installing an AMD or Intel system. Therefore with the recommended price of RM519, I think it is still reasonable to get one since your build might be based on the higher end processors such as Intel’s i7 or AMD’s Ryzen 7 series of lineup, which will bring the cooling experience better with this AIO, otherwise alternatively you can look for the ZOOMFLOW series which still performs similarly the same, minus the LCD Screen and a margin of around 8 to 10 Celsius higher, but costs lower. Should you need even more cooling, the SL360 is also available at RM619.
It is now available via all Sun Cycle Dealers nationwide and as mention, it is retailed at RM519, in Black or White Color
