Cooler Master Unveils New MasterLiquid AiO Coolers at Computex

Cooler Master had plenty to show at the Computex 2023 event, including a pair of new MasterLiquid AiO coolers that should eventually find its way to retail/e-tail shelves, the MasterLiquid 360 Ion and the MasterLiquid 360 Atmos. Cooler Master is also looking into some new markets with its open-loop cooling system concept design.

The MasterLiquid 360 Ion is obviously the star of the show as Cooler Master was proud to display it alongside its X Silent Max PSU, and this one comes with a 2.1-inch LCD screen on the dual-chamber pump that can display pretty much anything. The 360 mm radiator comes with Cooler Master's Mobius 120P ARGB fans, and Cooler Master also included RGB light strip around the pump. The MasterLiquid 360 Atmos is also an interesting upcoming product and while it does not feature an LCD screen, it comes with customizable pump cover that can be 3D printed. It features three SickleFlow Edge ARGB fans that promises exceptional performance and low noise levels. Unfortunately, there is also no word on the availability or the price of the new MasterLiquid AiO coolers. Cooler Master also showcased its open-loop concept cooling components including fittings, radiator, pump, tubes, as well as GPU and CPU water blocks, which could be something that Cooler Master could get into eventually.

CM getting into custom wcing...hmm. Don't know what to say about some of the stuff I'm seeing tbh. Square fittings (didn't phobya try that already?)for hardline. Weird little pump reservoir combo made of old school looking plexi and the thinnest rad I think I've ever seen, 15-20mm maybe? The blocks look normalish, the CPU block ports are edge mounted for some reason. The GPU blocks look pretty standard. Im skeptical obviously but I'll be keeping an open mind. Hopefully they are successful and bring another player to the game.

Edit- their all some kind of 90 degree hardline fittings...maybe. Can't really tell.

As long as a big company like CM makes something it adds competition to the market, so I'll wait for reviews before passing any judgement.

It's clear EK and Corsair are taking the piss with open-loop cooling; You can spend more on one of their CPU blocks than an entire CPU+GPU loop can cost from some of the smaller players like Barrow or Alphacool.

which is why EK is branching out to full fletched driving simulator setups XD

They know their demographic is people with large amounts of disposable income for tech. I don't like the company, but there's nothing wrong with their business strategy of milking the wealthy.

More competition in the open loop cooling space is definitely needed...prices on common components like fittings have not come down at all in the past decade despite the fact that non-pc branded BSPP fittings are half the price even though they use the same materials and have an even more robust build. It would be cool if PC open loop cooling became affordable enough to actually make it worthwhile on components besides the absolute top tier parts (i.e. there's no point to watercooling a 4080 or 7900xt since the money going to that waterblock would be better spent on getting a 4090 or 7900xtx)...new competitors and a lower cost of entry would undoubtedly reinvigorate the market and see the development of entirely new products and applications, so I'm glad Cooler Master is getting into the market.
