Hi Guys,

which one should I buy.

1.cooler master ml240l rgb

2.cryorig r1 ultimate

I'd take the Cryorig R1 Ultimate. It's more expensive, but it'll cool better. It is very beefy, though, so you have to make sure your case supports it (168.3mm tall) and if you'll have enough clearance for your RAM. The maximum RAM clearance is ~35mm as per Cryorig website. You can check for more reassurance by creating a tester from paper. http://www.cryorig.com/r1-ultimate.php at the end of that page is more info on that.

#2 will be my pick, ultimate may be too large, universal may be a better pick.
What case do you have?
Can you list other components as well?

If you need memory clearance you can slide the cooler fan up a bit on the memory side, been their done that the R1 is what to buy.

Or do like me and get the R1 Universal it has no memory issues you will be able to see all 4 memory slots.

The only size difference in the ultimate and universal is the thickness of the fan on the memory side.

I will be using a 1060 but I will upgrade to a 1080ti later on in the year

I will dump the thermal paste, the one comes with cooler is good enough
I will get a better motherboard like ASRock Extreme 4, better at overclocking
HDD is too slow, get 7200 RPM

Low profile rams forum the r1 cooler. More economical storage options. And a better mobo.
