Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML120L RGB Cooler (MLW-D12M-A20PC-R1)

Lasted me for 2 years before its pump died. I was using it to cool a Ryzen 5 1400 which is a relatively low power quad core processor that doesn’t produce a lot of heat but CPU temps still reached above 70C during moderate gaming sessions and even crossing 85C when left overnight at full load. It may sound reasonable untill you compare it to the free stock cooler you get with the CPU itself which (after I replaced it with) never broke 65C even when left overnight under full load and in a more practical use it kept the CPU around 45-55C. Yes you are reading this correctly. The ML120L AIO liquid cooler got absolutely crushed by the free AMD stock cooler by a massive 20 degree difference. Even I was shocked but I can assure you both the coolers had the exact same heat load. My processor was running at 3.20GHz at 1.175v in both cases. I doubt that I might have got a faulty cooler but I really gave this cooler every advantage to put out its best performance by adding a second fan at the back of the radiator in a push-pull configuration as well as overvolting the fans to make them run at higher speeds. But I really feel now that this is probably more because this cooler is trash rather than my cooler being faulty. And finally after 2 years the pump suddenly failed further confirming my suspicions. When I removed it I also observed that the copper plating on the CPU block is coming off. I suspect it is just a bad cooler. With hindsight I should have just taken the Rs.5000 I spent on this cooler and used it to buy a better processor at that time like the Ryzen 5 1600 instead.
