Test Setup

We will use our second generation AIO test rig which we will publish further details on in the coming weeks. It is based on the Intel i9 13900K CPU running on an ASUS Z690-based motherboard. We will set up each cooler in the same manner with the radiator attached to the case and the fans blowing into the radiator. The water blocks will be mounted per the manufacturer’s instructions except that we will use Arctic Cooling MX-4 thermal paste. We will utilize ASUS FanXpert to control fan speeds, setting the fans at a fixed RPM for each test. We will also compare it to the other coolers we have tested thus far.

Installation of the MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360 was a straightforward event and had us up and running fairly quickly.  In general, everything plugs into the motherboard connectors and you can control them with the included software.

SUMMARY

The MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360 is an interesting value play from MSI in the low $100 price range but delivers performance of AIO coolers from a higher tier of AIOs. Specifically, the MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360 lost rather handily at being the best performer at its maximum cooling capacity, however, at low and silent fan speeds, the MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360 excelled at its task of keeping our test bench CPU cool.
