Introduction
The DeepCool Mystique 240 is a striking liquid CPU cooler that promises excellent cooling performance and an eye-catching design. It boasts a 2.8″ TFT LCD screen for displaying various system information, a 240mm radiator, and two 120mm fans with high airflow and static pressure. But does it live up to the hype? I’ve put this cooler through its paces to see if it’s worth your money.
Key Features
- 2.8″ TFT LCD screen for system monitoring
- 240mm radiator for efficient heat dissipation
- Two 120mm fans with high airflow and static pressure
- Addressable RGB lighting for customization
- Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) fans for quiet operation
Performance
In terms of cooling performance, the Mystique 240 excels. During my testing, it kept my CPU (an Intel Core i7-12700K) significantly cooler than its stock cooler, even under heavy load. The fans were also surprisingly quiet, especially at lower RPMs. I was impressed by the overall cooling efficiency, particularly for a 240mm AIO cooler.
The TFT LCD screen is a nice addition, allowing you to monitor vital system information such as CPU temperature, fan speed, and even display custom images. However, I found the screen to be a bit distracting at times, especially when gaming. It’s great for system monitoring, but might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
Pros & Cons
Pros

Final Verdict
Overall, the DeepCool Mystique 240 is a fantastic liquid CPU cooler that delivers exceptional cooling performance, a unique and attractive design, and a useful TFT LCD screen. If you’re looking for a top-tier cooler that can keep your CPU running cool and quiet, and you don’t mind the added screen, the Mystique 240 is a great choice. However, if you’re on a tight budget or prefer a simpler design, you might consider other options.
