Cooler Master MasterLiquid Core II 360 White All-in-One Liquid Cooler Review @ APH Networks
APH Networks recently reviewed the Cooler Master MasterLiquid Core II 360 White, highlighting it as a visually appealing and budget-friendly all-in-one liquid cooler. Featuring a 360mm aluminum radiator, three pre-installed 120mm ARGB fans, and an eye-catching infinity mirror pump block, the cooler supports the latest Intel and AMD sockets, including LGA1851 and AM5. Installation is user-friendly, aided by labeled mounting hardware and sufficient tubing length. However, the use of daisy-chained fans with proprietary connectors could pose challenges for individual fan replacements. Additionally, the cooler employs sleeve bearings instead of its predecessor's more durable rifle bearings.
The Cooler Master MasterLiquid Core II 360 White AIO liquid cooler offers impressive performance and stunning aesthetics at a competitive MSRP.
In performance tests, the MasterLiquid Core II 360 White excelled, achieving the lowest full-load CPU temperature of 67°C among a range of competitors, including larger 420mm models. Despite its cooling prowess, the cooler's noise levels were noted, with a subjective rating of 4.0/10 at idle and 5.0/10 under load, primarily due to constant pump noise. Priced at approximately $100 USD, it offers strong thermal performance and aesthetics at a competitive price point. However, potential buyers should consider the proprietary fan connectors, shorter pump lifespan, and audible operation. APH Networks awarded it a 6.8/10, acknowledging its strengths while noting areas for improvement.
