Cooler Master MasterLiquid Atmos 360 AIO CPU Cooler Review

There’s no shortage of unique and interesting AIO coolers these days, but weirdly, Cooler Master has made one that really grabbed my attention. I must admit, I’m not a big fan of the LCD TV trend on AIO coolers, as I so rarely look into my PC, and the cost is just, well, far too much for my blood. However, at around £145, the Cooler Master MasterLiquid Atmos 360 is pretty competitively priced, and comes equipped with their latest Sickleflow 120 Edge fans, their latest dual chamber pump design, a 360mm radiator, and a plethora of ARGB lighting effects, especially on that rather unique pump topper.

MasterLiquid Atmos 360

Cooler Master say this cooler can handle a TDP of 290W, so it’s more than capable of keeping up with the biggest and best consumer CPUs. IT features their ARGB Gen 2 lighting engine, allowing for full motherboard control, or via their included control hub. The new SickleFlow fans feature their new ARGB design, loop dynamic bearings, and can deliver around 780.7 CFM. And finally, they say that their pump top cover is made from recycled plastic and supports 3D printed customisation, with 35% of the other metal materials also being made from recycled materials, and that they’ve even reduced the packaging size by 30%, so a big thumbs up there.
