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

This review is for the 360mm version of the ML360R. This cooler had no brackets for Socket 2066/2011-v3/2011 but 2 sets/2 pairs AMD hardware. While I'm sure someone on the pcpartpicker forums will recommend it over the h150i, x72 or Floe Riing 360 because of the price or what they saw in the Tomshardware review, it's not worth it. I ended up having to return this AIO cooler because my h150i beats it by 5 cents on top of the lack of Intel HEDT hardware. I bought this based on a Tomshardware review, but I'm not sure why their review differs from my own testing. Looks like the review on Techpowerup could be more accurate. Core i7-2600k @ 5.0GHz (4997MHz) 1.485V Z77 Sabertooth Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 cl9 @ 1333MHz 9-9-9-24. Mix Prime95 v29.4. Fan and pump 100% on all coolers. ML360R fan running at 2030 rpm and pump running at 2300 rpm according to HWMonitor. Prime95 has started for 1 hour. EVGA clc280. 71cH150i.79cCooler Master ML360R.84c Temperatures reach 90 when I run Small FFT after 10 minutes. With clc280, the temperature does not exceed 79 degrees. Estimated processor power is 125W using Prime95 Blend and 135W using Small FFT. I reinstalled the block and reapplied the paste. I made sure the fan and pump speeds were at 100%. The mounting pressure was as firm as possible and TIM was evenly distributed both times. I have used Kryonaut as a paste on all of these coolers. Also, the cooling fins had a few slight dents and the fins aren't as straight as on my H150i. The coloring of the radiator fins isn't even either, but I thought it would be useful. The underside of the coldplate is a bit grainier than my clc280 and H150i. The overall quality of the clc280 and H150i is much higher. This AIO cooler only has a two-year warranty, so I would be wary. It comes with a bunch of cables. However, I was able to find the right combination to get RGB and backlighting to work with an old z77 motherboard. This may be easier on a modern board with RGB connectors. If you're looking for overall performance, nothing beats the clc280. Those 360mm AIO coolers seem to have too many problems and maybe a 5th or 6th gen Asetek pump can't handle a 360mm cooler at 2300rpm.
