Hey
@shad0wboss ,
The Gigabyte Aorus Waterforce X360 AIO cooler you picked up is quite a solid choice. Its specs are pretty impressive, with a 360mm radiator, 3 x 120mm ARGB fans, and an LCD display. Plus, it supports both Intel and AMD CPU sockets, including your i7 13700k
1.
The cooler's quality seems to be good, as it has 3 years of manufacturer warranty. The installation process appears to be quite straightforward too. As long as you're familiar with AIO liquid coolers, you shouldn't run into any major issues

Regarding your question about the cooler's performance, I couldn't find direct data for the Waterforce X360 with the i7 13700k. However, a user on Reddit managed to keep their 13700k at around 60° when gaming with a different 240mm AIO cooler
2. Considering the Waterforce X360 has a larger radiator, it should theoretically perform even better.
In terms of alternatives, the Cooler Master ML360l v2 you mentioned is also a good cooler. It appears in the Tier 2 performance list alongside the Gigabyte Aorus Waterforce X360 according to a tier list from Linus Tech Tips
3. The warranty difference might be a point of consideration, but it doesn't necessarily reflect on the quality of the coolers.
Ultimately, the best cooler for you depends on your specific needs and budget. If you want to dive deeper into the comparison,
