Hello I´ve just bought new liquid cooler for my CPU (Cooler Master ML240L) an I am very disappointed because it is very loud and CPU temperatures are worse then with my normal air cooler which was SilentiumPC Spartan 3 PRO. Can someone tell me what could be the problem?
I tried to run CPu stress test for 10 minutes and the temperature didn´t exceed 80°C but it was loud like a jet engine.

Dragos Manea, you can disagree with me. But without numbers, I tend to ignore those claims. You've probably seen many similar claims from rubix that have tested most (if not all) AiOs.
I (as well as most people) don't care about AiO perfromance at 334537895692K RPM. If you want that noise, you can also put such fan on air cooler. Personally, I can barely tolerate 1400RPM fan noise.

dumping heat into case - what if user installed the aio as intake ? if the AiO is exhaust, the effectiveness of it is significantly lower as it's using heated air.

Not everything that have the word liquid in it, does a great job.
AiOs are mostly overpriced for the performance they provide.
The only real benefits of the AiOs are cleaner look and less components clearance issues. Otherwise decent air coolers will do same or better job at lower noise. And will cost less.
That was a general statement. Back to your specific issue, it is hard to tell without seeing your system. Anyway this AiO should be an upgrade to the air cooler you mentioned.
The problem can be poor airflow, incorrect installation or incorrect configuration.

It will be very helpful if you took a picture of your case open .

n0ns3ns3, you keep busting liquid cooling with any occasion, but i tend to mention that there are several advantages to air cooling, the hot air is dumped outside and not in the case, this is good for ram and vrm, for a sli/crossfire set-up u get the problem of one card heating the other because they are too close(and 90% of the motherboards have same spacing, only rampage from asus has 4 slot spacing) and not one air cooler can outpace the 280 AIOs or 360 AIOs and you are aware of that. Also the powerful air coolers are really heavy and put a strain on the motherboard making transportation a pain in the rear.
Back to OP problem, be sure pump is working, touch the hoses and see if u feel a slight vibration.

Better for components ? usually with air coolers, VRM and RAM and other components are cooler. Simply because the air is moving over them, which is not necessarily the case with AiO. And I know that because I do custom loops for well over a decade.
What is the relation of SLI setups to AiO ?
and wait, a 170$ 360 AiO is performing with 0-3C difference from an half priced air coolers...
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Corsair/Hydro_Series_H150i_Pro/7.html
With 280/240 the gap is smaller or in favor of air coolers.
and the above is on open bench. in a closed case it will perform worth than tower cooler.

So please, be welcome to share an AiO that performs better (4C or more difference) than lair cooler at the same noise level (remember, with numbers).
