Cooler Master isn’t new to the all in one cooler game, they were there right at the beginning when they were just starting to come out and they have continued to change things up over the years. RGB has been a thing for a while now and companies have been looking at how to change things up and we have already seen companies putting their lighting behind mirrors for a different look and Cooler Master is no different. They showed them off at CES this year and even though it has been a crazy year they did just recently introduce them officially with their MasterLiquid Mirror coolers. Well, I had the MasterLiquid ML280 Mirror come in and sticking with the cooling theme I have put it through our test suite and today I’m going to take a look at it and see how it performed, what it has to offer, and where it fits in the market price-wise.

We’re you able to remove the cap with the logo from the pump block without voiding the warranty? I need to rotate the one on my 360 model but it doesn’t move and I don’t see any screws that wouldn’t void the warranty.

Yeah it's been a little while. But it came right off without any issues or seals. I belive you twist it counter clockwise and then it will pull up and off
