Question New to Liquid cooling, bought a Gamdias M1A 240R, wondering if anyone has owned it and experienced problems.

Hello guys, just as the title says I bought this Liquid cooler from Gamdias. I have never owned a liquid cooler before however my computer always runs extreamly hot so I am looking for anything to get my temps down. The Gamdias liquid cooler seems to be pretty good quality out of the box and everything looks professionally packaged. even the tubes and fittings sorta look a bit like what master cooler does. with a very close resemblance to the ML240R. This is a small company and I cant find much information about these coolers however I have seen a bunch of youtubers and no bad reviews yet, atleast nothing that could point out potential leakage.

So I have several questions actually. Has anyone owned this liquid cooler and if so, have you guys had any leaks or issues assuming you have had it for awhile? Also if I test the liquid cooler out for 24 hours on my old computer should the chances of leaking be extreamly low?

Haven't used it myself, but from the little I have seen is it's "fine, but not exceptional".
Disappointing that the fans don't connect to fan headers though? Assuming they're molex or sata powered?

As for leaks etc, only time will tell. Testing for 24hours will not tell you anything, other than it's not DOA. Risk of a leak or failure would get worse over time, but that's true of all AIOs, not just this one.

For what it is, it seems fine.

Looks like a normal Asetek AIO, so it's the same as most others.

Semantics, but it looks more CoolerMaster to me (they still OEM their stuff, right?) than it does Asetek.

If I had to guess, they've slapped cheap Aliexpress fans/controller onto a CoolerMaster made or inspired AIO.

Correct, it looks exactly like the usual Cooler Master design.
