GAMDIAS AURA GL240 V2 ARGB 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler, Full Copper Base, 12-slot 10-pole Pump Motor, 2×120mm PWM Hydro Fans (800–1800 RPM), LGA1700 & AM5 Ready, Rotatable Pump Head, Black

The GAMDIAS AURA GL240 V2 is a purpose-built 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler engineered to give serious PC builders and gamers measurable thermal gains without sacrificing noise profile or aesthetic control. From the moment you unpack the unit, the AURA GL240 V2 telegraphs a focus on practical performance — an improved copper cold-plate, a more powerful pump motor and well-engineered radiator/fan pairing — all designed to lower CPU temperatures consistently under load while remaining unobtrusive in everyday use.

Thermal management is the core value of any liquid cooler, and the AURA GL240 V2 approaches that problem holistically. Instead of relying on a single high-speed fan or oversized pump, the design improves heat transfer at three key stages: the cold plate, the pump motor, and the radiator airflow. A refined copper base sits directly against the CPU IHS to maximize thermal contact and conductivity. The pump’s upgraded motor — a 12-slot, 10-pole design — provides stable, high-frequency fluid movement that reduces temperature lag during rapid load changes (for example, when a CPU moves from idle to single-threaded turbo, or into a multi-threaded rendering burst). The radiator’s fin density, combined with a matched pair of hydraulic-bearing PWM fans, turns that pumped heat into airflow efficiently and quietly.

Beyond raw numbers, the AURA GL240 V2 is engineered for compatibility and clean builds. Gamdias provides universal mounting hardware that covers legacy sockets as well as the latest platforms — meaning you can confidently use the cooler on modern Intel LGA1700 or AMD AM5 systems without additional brackets. The pump head offers a rotatable mounting face, which simplifies cable routing and lets builders align the logo and lighting to their chassis orientation. Hidden cable channels reduce visible clutter, making the cooler an excellent choice for windowed cases where aesthetics matter.

If you’re a content creator, streamer, or PC enthusiast, reliability and predictable performance are what matter most. The AURA GL240 V2 provides both: the pump and fans are tuned for longevity, the radiator uses aluminum for weight and thermal efficiency, and the tubing is constructed from durable materials to resist kinking and reduce maintenance. For gamers running sustained sessions or professionals doing CPU-heavy content creation, that translates to cooler sustained frame rates, longer turbo windows, and reduced throttling risk.

Installation is straightforward for an AIO of this class. The package includes thermal paste, a universal bracket set, and mounting screws to address mainstream Intel and AMD sockets. Because the pump head is rotatable and the tubing is pre-formed for mainstream chassis orientations, builders rarely need to brute-force cable paths. In short: the AURA GL240 V2 minimizes installation friction while maximizing post-build cleanliness.

For buyers balancing cost against performance, the AURA GL240 V2 sits in an attractive position. It delivers cooler temps than typical stock air coolers and comes with ARGB styling that integrates with modern motherboards’ lighting ecosystems. The unit’s acoustic profile is tuned so that heavy CPU loads remain audible but not distracting — a key design consideration for streamers and home studio users who need both performance and quiet.

Finally, Gamdias backs the AURA GL240 V2 with a standard manufacturer warranty and global support network, which makes it a solid choice for anyone who wants reliable cooling paired with modern styling and broad platform compatibility.
