Review on ❄️ Cooler Master ML360R ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler with 360 Radiator, Dual Chamber Pump - Compatible with AMD Ryzen, Intel LGA1200/1151 by Kevin Hernandez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very complex setup; Terrible software, adequate cooling

Installation was one of the worst experiences I've had building a PC. This wasn't my first experience building a PC or installing a Liquid AIO cooler. The backplane doesn't fit the motherboard exactly; Gravity will return to fallout. This meant mounting the cooler while the case was upright, not horizontal, with one hand holding the backplate in place. The result is a very sloppy way to install a pump on a CPU. The tubing was so stiff and short that it was very difficult to attach the pump to the processor with one hand. Software control of RGB LEDs is terrible. I'm using an MSI motherboard, and while Cooler Master says it's compatible, I found that to be hardly true. MOBO only drives RGB LEDs when the Cooler Master software is running. It's so stupid. Aside from the terrible RGB software control and poor design in terms of installation, the cooling is up to the task. I've had liquid coolers before and this one seems to cool well. "Gurgling" is louder than fans, but it doesn't bother me.

Pros
  • Quality build
Cons
  • Something else
