💦 Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Mirror ARGB Close-Loop AIO CPU Liquid Cooler: Ultimate Cooling Solution with Stunning Mirror ARGB Pump, 360mm Radiator, and Powerful Triple SickleFlow Fans - Compatible with AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151 Review

Installing the AIO water cooler went very smoothly on my Master Liquid ML360 setup. I recently bought a 10850k processor and wanted to overclock it to at least 5GHz for all 10 cores at 1.28V. With this cooler, I was able to use it for gaming without any problems. My previous cooler was the Cooler Master GTS V8, you know those big tower coolers. With my current air cooler setup, I got around 88C in my testing when everything was overclocked. With my new ML360 I got around 75C with all 10 cores…

Not sure why the main review is so critical of this AIO, but it works well. Bracket installation involves 2 screws to secure the pump to the mounting brackets and then simply snapping the pre-installed brackets onto the motherboard. It takes 10 seconds to securely attach it to the board. Anyway, I'm using it on the new Ryzen 7 5800X and with the 140mm fans enabled it's pretty quiet and runs well under load. I got around 82C on Prime95 for at least 1 hour of testing. At idle, the temperature was

Admittedly this is a little picky, but it forced me to install it in a less-than-ideal way. CPU) under the heatsink. Because it's on top, I place the fans for the exhaust, and I prefer to attach the fans to the case and then the heatsink to the fans (hence the fans are above the heatsink). This means that the air flows through the heatsink and the air inside the case is exhaled through the top. In this configuration, the processor gets a few degrees hotter than the front intake, but it's…

Why does this particular line of Cooler Master monoblocks seem to be hidden? It's hard to know they even exist, from PC PartPicker not listing them anywhere to CM's own website where they are easy to spot. This is by far my favorite style on all of the CoolerMaster AIO pumps; I really hope they gradually implement this design instead of abandoning it. In fact, this might be my favorite aesthetic of any AIO pampa period. Minimal branding, a subtly implemented infinity mirror and very well…

Let's start with the pump: everything is fine. At full power it has a slight hum typical of most AIOs, but is virtually silent at 10V. The starting voltage is 5V, although it drops to 3V before stalling. I won't be doing performance testing here as I'm running out of tools and a 360mm AIO would probably be fine regardless of quality thanks to sheer brute force. But these fans, they're kind of terrible. Like, impressive terrible. The bearings are louder than even the cheap free fans you get from

3 months in revision: Just wanted to update this with more positive experiences. It's been a few months and I'm still very happy with this AIO cooler. One thing I would like to reconsider is some of the timings below. Maybe I didn't measure correctly or didn't set the fans properly. The idle temperature is really low 30 seconds (sometimes up to 20 seconds), but under load the temperature does not exceed 45 degrees. It's really impressive. Now attached is a new screenshot of a few temporary…
