250W TDP Testing
For our 250W TDP clock testing, we have configured our CPU to run at a fixed all-core speed of 5.1GHz on the performance cores and 4.0GHz on the efficiency cores. This yields a fairly steady 250w CPU package power draw when running Cinebench. Stock settings were set for voltage (and all other defaults), and configured memory to XMP mode.
Max Fans – 100% Pump Speed
Turning up the heat to a 250W load AZZA Cube 360 at 82 degrees Celsius which is just one and two degrees behind the 360 ATMOS and LIQMAXFLO respectively. The CORELIQUID E360 continues its trend of not performing as well at higher fan speeds at 86 degrees Celsius.
Note that at this speed, the AZZA Cube 360 was running at 1850RPM, the Enermax LIQMAXFLO 360 is running at 1900RPM, the MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360 at 1800 RPM, and the Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID 360 ATMOS at around 2500 RPM.
1500 RPM Fans – 100% Pump Speed
Harmonizing the fan speeds at 1500RPM find the AZZA Cube 360 dropping to last place to tie with the CORELIQUID E360 at 87 degrees Celsius. The 360 ATMOS leads the pack at 82 degrees with the LIQMAXFLO between everyone else at 84 degrees.
1000 RPM Fans – 100% Pump Speed
Dropping down to AZZA Cube 360 tied for second place with the CORELIQUID 360 at 93 degrees Celsius. The 360 ATMOS picks up the win here at 87 degrees and the LIQMAXFLO with the loss at 94 degrees.
275W TDP Testing
For our 275W TDP clock testing, we have configured our CPU to run at a fixed all-core speed of 5.1GHz on the performance cores and 4.2GHz on the efficiency cores. This yields a fairly steady 275w CPU package power draw when running Cinebench. Stock settings were set for voltage (and all other defaults), and configured memory to XMP mode.

1500 RPM Fans – 100% Pump Speed
Finally, at our 275W heat level, the AZZA Cube delivers a result of 91 degrees Celsius which is three degrees higher than the 360 ATMOS and one degree higher than the LIQMAXFLO. The CORELIQUID E360 rounds out the rear at 94 degrees Celsius.
Of note, at the 1500 RPM level, the AZZA Cube 360 let temperatures slide to 100C where thermal throttling kicked in, so we have not included a chart of those results here.
Note that at this speed, the AZZA Cube 360 was running at 1850RPM, the Enermax LIQMAXFLO 360 is running at 1900RPM, the MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360 at 1800 RPM, and the Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID 360 ATMOS at around 2500 RPM.
Now that we have seen how all of our units cool, let’s see if we can still hear!
