Final Thoughts

While I can’t say for sure the Reeven Naia 240 is an awesome AIO liquid cooler, since I do not have a plethora of coolers to compare it against, I can say it does the job I need it to do, and looks pretty cool doing it!

For Reeven’s first AIO liquid cooler, the Naia 240, it’s hard to find any faults. Reeven definitely did their homework when they designed this cooler.

I hope other companies take note of the ability to re-fill the Naia 240. I would love to see this feature become standard on AIO units. Custom loops are great, but can get expensive, as well as having a greater potential for leaks. I’m lazy, and just prefer the ease that an AIO unit provides, with bolt and go convenience.

Conclusion

For Reeven’s first AIO liquid cooler, I think they did an awesome job. I can’t find any fault in the design. And for utility, being able to customize colors and actually re-fill the unit is just outstanding. Reeven even included extra coolant for you to use when filling it back up. That’s just an awesome touch and adds extra value to this kit.

I do think the performance of the Naia 240 is slightly hampered by using an aluminum heat-plate, but by how much, I can’t say. It may not be as big of an impact as I think it is. Otherwise, it did beat out the SilverStone TD-02 cooler, that does have a copper heat-plate, although by a very slim margin.

Reeven did a good job making this unit have some appeal in the looks department. The reservoir style clear cap over the pump looks really nice with the LED light on. I do however wish that you could turn it off. At least it’s not bright enough to be annoying, and perhaps this is something Reeven will consider with future models.

Construction feels solid. Even with the plastic mounting plate on the pump/heatsink it doesn’t feel flimsy at all. The only point of concern I have is the tubing. It feels a bit thin and very plastic-y. Only time will tell if the tubing is up to snuff or not for years of use, considering this unit can be cleaned and re-filled.

The Naia 240 has performed flawlessly so far. Everything is working as it should. It keeps my R5 1600 nice and cool.

Reeven’s MSRP is $109 USD, although as of October (2017) the Naia 240 was available for $111.95 (Amazon). This is roughly in-line with other 240 AIO liquid coolers, and considering the extras Reeven includes: The extra coolant and dyes, I think this is a great value. Although, when comparing performance to the SilverStone TD02-Slim, however, priced almost $30.00 dollars less, the value becomes a bit less, as the TD-02 Slim performs pretty close in cooling ability. Value really depends on the individual, and the fact that the Reeven Naia 240 can be re-filled and the SilverStone TD02-Slim can not, at least not in it’s functional design gives the Naia 240 and edge in overall value.

So far Reeven has impressed me with this AIO cooler. The Naia 240 is a good cooler and is easy to install. I would highly recommend the Naia 240 to anyone looking to use liquid cooling, but not want the complexity of a custom loop and still have the ability to clean and re-fill the system, giving it the potential to out-last other sealed AIO units because of this feature.
