A Closer Look

The radiator uses a boxy outer shell with the Cooler Master logo on each of the longer sides. Cooler Master went with an FPI (fins-per-inch) count of 21, which is the typical density for all-in-one liquid coolers. In regards to radiator quality, I noticed only a couple slightly bent fins, and they were easily straightened with a flat head screwdriver. The tubing is actually corrugated FEP, but is sleeved, making it much more attractive as a result. That said, it is not as flexible as the rubber tubing, which may be problematic for a select few. I, however, encountered no problems with it.


When it comes to the pump and cold plate, users will be happy to know that the design feels solid and has some weight to it. The wiring is on the opposite side of the tubing, making it a bit easier to hide. The swivel fittings rotate quite well as they are neither too loose or stiff. Finally, the copper cold plate uses a semi-square design and has readily visible machining marks; however, I could not feel them.


The fans Cooler Master is using for the MasterLiquid ML360R RGB have model number 120AB and come from the MasterFan series. These fans feature a PWM RPM range of 650–2000 and a maximum CFM of 66.7.
