MSI's new MAG CoreLiquid I Series AIO Liquid Cooler creates a highly efficient cooling solution. "To meet the rising demand for high-performance CPUs, global gaming hardware brand MSI has recently launched the latest MAG CoreLiquid I series cooler. This cooler is designed to address the challenges of high heat dissipation." The unique feature of the MAG CoreLiquid I series cooler lies in its capability to effortlessly manage over 300 watts of heat, ensuring stability even during device overclocking. Alongside its precision-designed pump, this updated series places emphasis on optimizing the copper base, thereby enhancing the cooler's heat dissipation efficiency and overall performance.

The introduction of the MAG CoreLiquid I series cooler offers a robust solution for gamers with stringent demands for high-performance computers and overclocking. This cooler aids in maintaining optimal hardware temperatures during extended usage sessions, thereby bolstering system stability and performance. MSI's latest CoreLiquid I SERIES liquid cooler takes its inspiration from bold and angular cuts found in diamonds. With its design boasting multiple angles and a dual-sided transparent infinite mirror, DIY enthusiasts can display the cooler's craftsmanship from various perspectives, elevating the visual allure of the infinite mirror with a multidimensional experience.



For DIY FRIENDLY, we have introduced the UNI Bracket and EZ Connect for the MAG CoreLiquid I series.

UNI Bracket
The pre-installed and DIY-friendly UNI Bracket supports both Intel and AMD sockets, significantly reducing the assembly time and enhancing the quality of DIY builds for gamers.



EZ Connect
Previously, the 360 water-cooling brand required managing at least six cables. Now, with pre-installed fans and simplified cable organization, users only need to deal with one cable. This enhances DIY-friendliness, reduces installation complexity, and improves assembly enjoyment.

MSI remains dedicated to consistently improving the user experience for DIY gamers, emphasizing attention to detail throughout the installation process to facilitate an easier assembly. The introduction of the MAG CoreLiquid I series ushers in a fresh experience for DIY gamers, offering the most gratifying and enjoyable user experience for those pursuing optimal performance or assembly enjoyment.

The MAG CoreLiquid I Series is available in two sizes, 240 mm and 360 mm, and comes in two colors, black and white. This exciting new series will start arriving at the end of August 2024. Stay tuned, gamers!

Unless I'm missing something, I'm calling BS on the "6 to 1 cable" thing.....

Yea maybe only 1 cable for the uni-fans, which is not a new thing, but what about the other 2 for the pump (1x sata/usb for power + 1x 3/4 pins for the circus puke) ?

This still adds up to 3 cables total, not 1 as claimed.....perhaps they are using that "funny math" that is taught in the US schools nowadayz :D

I own the S360 which is a really decent AiO as far as the actual hardware/cooler is concerned. But I would/will never buy MSI again or recommend it because their MSI Center software is the most abysmal POS imaginable. It's clunky, annoying, full of bloat, you name it.

And to add insult to injury, it reloads its bloatware on every update. You always have to manually clean up the MSI folder after every update. To MSI's minor credit, this is at least a pretty fast and painless affair since they have an uninst.exe in every folder so you just need to end all MSI processes, go through the folders and uninstall all the crap like Nahimic or their PSU software (I don't own a MSI PSU) or their Case software (I don't own a MSI case) and so on.

It's such a needless chore and it shows they have zero respect for their customers by reloading this stuff on every update.
Last but not least, MSI Center also can not keep some settings between updates. I always have to disable the LED effects (profile 1) of my MSI RTX 4090 SuprimX after every update because MSI Center is incapable of saving that profile.

Never again. I will upgrade to Zen 5 when the X870E boards are available and I will retire the MSI AiO when I make the switch. I'm currently considering a software-free AiO. My favorite is the Alphacool Eisbaer 360 Black. I was also interested in Arctic LF III 360 but there are too many user reports of noisy/rattling pumps for my comfort. I think I will try the Alphacool instead and maybe swap out the radiator fans if they are too noisy...
