[SOLVED] Thoughts on Cooler Master Masterliquid ML360R

[vainsy]

Hey guys,

So was thinking about using this AIO for my upcoming build and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it or just has an opinion. Reviews seem pretty good online but I just want to be 100% sure.

I’ll be cooling a 10900K with it in a Phanteks P500A or P400A case (Still to decide) - front mounted.

Cheers,

Vainsy

It's OK; one of the better, affordable 360mm CLCs.

Any thing else you would recommend?

Would you suggest like 280mm top mounted instead?

Thanks for your input!

P400A doesn't support top rad mounts at all - P500A does, though.

Yeah I thought that it would be an issue in that case.

Say if I went with P500A, what would be your recommendation for an AIO?

What's the gpu in question?


EDIT: Nevermind.
Liquid cool the gpu through either a 280/360mm AIO/CLC mounted in the front.
For the cpu, NH-D15 or top mounted 280/360mm AIO/CLC.
At least, that's what I'd do with it.

What's the gpu in question?

Looking at getting a 3080/3080ti depending on price when it comes out. Obviously we cannot know how hot these things run but just assume worst case?

Edited previous post.

And if I don't want to liquid cool the GPU?

And if I don't want to liquid cool the GPU?

Then don't.

Then don't.

Any recommendations on CPU AIO then?

Sorry for being stupid/a hassle I just haven't built a PC in quite some time, so don't really know what products I should go for.

Also don't want to make a mistake with the CPU cooler as it is a very important component, especially with the 10900K!

Appreciate all your help so far.

Not really... 🤔

NZXT or Corsair if you don't mind having to use more software - it's required to operate their coolers.
Cooler Master, Fractal Design, or Arctic, if you'd rather not, but the downside is that you don't get dynamic fan control unless you get a Y or W splitter and run them off the motherboard.
