Cooling and discretion: top performance

The MSI MAG CoreLiquid E360 joins our comparison of the best AiO watercooling, simply because… it is probably the best model that we have tested on Clubic in 360 mm format.

It stands out for its exceptional cooling performance. In the tests we performed, it outperformed most other AIOs tested, able to maintain low temperatures even with the most powerful processors, including a TDP of 241 watts.

The secret to the CoreLiquid E360’s effectiveness lies in its intelligent design. The 360mm radiator provides a large heat exchange surface area, effectively dissipating heat from the processor. The included fans, although non-magnetic, ensure optimal airflow for powerful cooling.

And very often, power means noise pollution. However, one of the strong points of the MAG CoreLiquid E360 is its discreet operation. Thanks to the combination of an efficient water block and quiet fans, the cooling system is able to maintain low temperatures without generating excessive noise.

Even at full power, the fans remain relatively discreet, especially since it is possible to control the speed and personalize the cooling curves to favor silence or performance.

What is this AiO watercooling worth compared to the competition of the same price?

At this level of the range, there are two models to which we can compare the MSI MAG CoreLiquid E360.

Let’s start with the ASUS ROG Ryuo III 360 ARGB. This watercooling has quality finishes and provides excellent cooling performance associated with acceptable noise pollution the majority of the time. At maximum power, however, the noise becomes more annoying.

We can also compare the MAG CoreLiquid E360 to another model from the same manufacturer: the MEG CoreLiquid S360. Unlike its brother, its design is without RGB. Cooling performance and, again, noise, remains contained. We also benefit from an LCD screen, the usefulness of which depends mainly on your interest in customization, RGB, etc. However, the model remains almost twice as expensive as the CoreLiquid E360, and the quality-price ratio of the latter appears superior to us.

MSI: quality All-in-One watercooling

MSI, a major player in the world of gaming hardware, entered the cooling solutions market relatively late. However, the brand quickly caught up by offering innovative and efficient products.

MSI starts with the TORX series, RGB fans. Very quickly then, the manufacturer launched into the watercooling market with the MEG CoreLiquid. Other interesting models are emerging, like the CoreLiquid S360 with its integrated LCD screen.

MSI continues to innovate and diversify its ranges, having for example integrated noise reduction technologies (Silent Gale PALE) and RGB (Mystic Light Sync), among others.
