MSI MAG CoreLiquid E360 White - AIO ARGB CPU Liquid Cooler - Rotating Cap Design - 360mm Radiator - Triple 120mm ARGB PWM Fans - LGA 1700/1851 / AM5/AM4 Compatible

Setting this AIO Liquid Cooler was straight forward. This is one of the parts I used to build my new PC. Glad I choose this since it keeps my Intel Core i9 13900K CPU at a good temperature while I play videogames or work. I have a small PC case the only area I can place it is on the front cover, it fits perfectly. I got it on sale and it was worth the price. Controlling the fan speed is easy, you can do it on the MSI center app or in the BIOS. It's compatible with my PC case, motherboard and CPU.

The MSI MEG CORELIQUID S360 is an very good liquid cooler. From installation to performance, this AIO cooler delivers excellence at every stage.Mounting the unit was a wasy, making the setup process hassle-free. The LCD display is another standout feature—customizing it is intuitive and adds a personal touch to the build. Paired with my Ryzen 7800X3D, CPU temperatures remain consistently low, ensuring optimal performance during intense workloads and gaming sessions.Overall, MSI has nailed it with the MEG CORELIQUID S360. It’s reliable, visually striking, and highly effective. If you’re looking for a high-end liquid cooler, this one is hard to beat.

Value for money, works great and good fit. Included cables make it easier to install with a single fan and ARGB connector.

i love this AIO, keeps my ryzen 9 cool and looks really good! (the screen is behind a mirrored tent so kinda dim at max lighting)

The cooler came with the LGA1700 bracket required. Some reviews say it doesn't, but it certainly does. The fans are not mounted and there's no cable management. They chain together in a not very elegant way and you get to hide all the extra cable. They could have included a fan controller to bring the fans to a single point, or even just used a better way to chain them together so there wasn't a load of spare wire to bundle up and hide. One review said that the pump cable didn't fit. Err, dude, the pump needs to be controlled separately. My motherboard has a specific pump connection, as well as a cooler fan connection, so pump cable to pump connection, fan cable to CPU fan connection. Mounting to the board is easier than older cooler mountings, just follow the instructions properly. Take care to tighten down the cooler according to instructions. The consumer Intel sockets already have issues with flatness and it is important to get the cooler mounted evenly so that all the cores get good cooling. If you get the cooler on unevenly you can get one core heating up before the others and limiting the performance. I am not sure if the i9 throttles by core, or across the board. I only hit 100C briefly and then turned down the load.Radiator Installation: Check your case. I am using a ThermalTake Core V71, see my review of that if you want details of the issues I have with it. The length of the cooling pipes defines where the radiator can be mounted. In the V71 the front mounting made most sense to me, because it allowed the use of the single optical drive slot, but the pipes aren't long enough to reach. When fitted in the top of the case the radiator fouls the optical drive. So I moved the optical drive up to the top of the case where it occludes about 10% of the radiator, but the system can be assembled. That also requires the radiator to be mounted with the pipes to the left, which means the pipes then press against the graphics card. This is not a problem with the cooler, it's just a problem of using the cooler in this case.Cooler performance is not quite enough with my case and fans. The combination of airflow and cooler combines to define cooling capacity. I was down-converting 11,000 FLAC audio files to m4a using a parallel converter. With the 8 performance cores of my i9-12900K running the task I was getting core temperatures a little over 80C. When I added in four of the lower power cores by setting the parallel conversions to 12 I got low 90s. At 14 parallel conversions I hit 100C on one core. So I backed off to 12 again. I used EZ CD Audio Converter, which is payware. Anyway, the i9 is doing a heck of a lot of work, it completed converting 264GB of FLAC files to 48GB of m4a files in 28 minutes. But this cooler won't support running the i9-12900K flat out in a 70F air conditioned room. I am not overclocking, I'm only running my 6GHz DDR5 at 4.8GHz at this time, so I am not even running full speed. I don't want to turn up memory performance until I am happy with the rest of the system.This is good enough for me at this time. The program I usually use on this machine, the reason I needed the upgrade, is X-Plane 11, which runs the GPU at 85% but only needs 1 or 2 cores on the processor.

I recently built my first PC — it was actually a Christmas gift for my spouse, and the MAG Coreliquid E360 actually ended up being both mine and my spouse’s favorite component aesthetically. It was also my favorite to install, as it was simple. There’s even a YouTube video I found that took me through it step by step and reassured me just how easy putting it together is. I was also incredibly happy with how quiet it is! I’ve had a few PCs and laptops with loud fans and cooling systems, and it can get a little distracting when working or gaming on something loud, so this being so quiet really sold me on MSI products. Using Mystic Light with it was really easy too, and made for a beautiful RGB display! It’s gone way above my expectations, and I would highly recommend it for a build.
