Cooler Master Masterliquid ML360 Mirror AIO CPU Cooler Review

Performance

Test setup and Testing Methodology

The system used for testing is listed in the table below. Ambient temperatures were kept at 24 degrees Celsius +/- 1 degree. The thermal paste used was Noctua’s NT-H2 (for testing consistency). The fan speed was set to 100% in bios. The idle temperatures were recorded after 10 minutes of idle and max temperatures were recorded after a 5 minute torture test using Adia 64 System Stability Test and recording the Cores values, then averaging.

OS Windows 10

Now we get to the good stuff the results.  As you can see in the graph below we have the Idle temps for the Masterliquid ML360 Mirror. This chip hovers at a cool 25.75 degrees Celsius. Almost ambient temps!

Alright LOAD temps! The ones that really matter. The Masterliquid ML360 Mirror has been one of the best coolers I have tested on this system to date, coming in at 41.75 degrees Celsius. Only time will tell where this cooler will rank in future tests but I am pretty confidant it will compete with the best of them as the cooler manages to come out on top!

Noise can be a important factor for some. If we have a open case design and the fans might be exposed, we don not want record setting noise coming from our cooler. This not the case with the Masterliquid ML360 Mirror. As you can see in the graph above the fans at full speed hit 32 dBs. Just to note, the actually hearable noise from the fans are not distracting at all. The fans were also in the case in a pull through configuration. Even though with the fans set to 100% the sound was not bad at all.

 

Now lets move on to the Conclusion and Verdict!
