Great vid, some additional info to help the next person who searches this. The MSI 360 series has the MPG K360 and the MEG 360S. For those who don't know MSI naming convention MEG, MPG, MAG is MEG being hardcore, MPG for enthusiasts and MAG for price conscious. The K360 has a V1 and V2 series, both floating around for sale and often have conflicting descriptions of the two. If the listing doesn't say V2 explicitly, it isn't V2. V2 includes the latest AM5 and Intel adapter plates. The 360S has upped Fan bearings, hence they are quieter, how much, well, read the specs but I don't think its major. However, the 360S looses RGB fans. Both have the same 2.4 IPS display, but the 360S has that small fan over the pump but as the OG noted, it's highly restricted airflow doesn't seem to do much. If you are a serious OC'er, I might suggest to look elsewhere. If ur an enthusiast and don't plan to push your hardware, these units are good units, if the price is right. You should find (as of this date) the K360 V2 between the 2-250 range. The 360S a bit above that.
@@Meeeks it held up well until I swapped it to the nzxt z73. I switched a few months ago because I wanted something different for my build to match the aesthetic I was going for. I had a couple glitches with the software but that’s expected. Same reliability as the nzxt tbh.
@@BuildsWithV ah, gotcha. I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet but the reviews kept scaring me off. How long did you have the s360 in before you switched over to the z73?
I bought this aio to pair it up with my z690 godlike. Now I’m trying to find a case that will have the proper exact fit for the both of them. If I use a 5000x the aio will fit perfectly but the motherboard will be too wide. But then if I use a 7000x the mobo will fit perfectly but the aio will be too small. Yup I’m picky lol.
@@BuildsWithV hello sir, another noob question, I just bought the Maximus Z790 hero and dominator ddr5 6000hz. Would my mobo able to run the ram at 6000hz? I was thinking of replacing it to 5600 if not
i wanted to get rgb fans too for my one what ones were u thinking that is also good performing and wont cause less performance then the fan they came with? im currently looking at the gelid stella argb ones
I personally just put my Lian Li uni fans on my radiator and they seem to be doing just as good as the msi ones. Not sure what I’d recommend because your style might be different. I’ve used cheap fans and expensive fans on my radiator and in most cases the more quality fans performed better.
@@KyroTV. definitely wouldn’t say it fits nicely in a white themed case. My cases and these is actually black and white since I custom painted inside my case, motherboard and gpu. But even then it looks kinda off. I was thinking to paint the cpu block cover white. No idea if that’ll look good tho 😅
Your 2.0 USB Hub can support the AIO with no issues ? I've just bought the S360 and i've order one of theses Hub. (4 ways) I have one Corsair Commandor pro for the lighting , on the USB board (on MSI 590 Carbon), and the other one is for the 2.0 on the front case. Must I connect the AIO on the board and the rest on the hub , or can I plug all my devices on the hub ? Sorry for my bad english, I hope you can understand me correcly. Thanks for your unboxing !!! Hi from France ;)
@@BuildsWithV Thx for the quick answer ! I'm actually in conflict with my MSI MAG Corluiquid 360R V1 on a Intel 11900K. The AIO died after 6-8 months and the V2 remplacement seems similar (just support 1700...). I don't want to replace an other AIO (garanty = 2-3 weeks without computer) and change it for 6 months, so I bought this !

Thank you to your answer, you reassure me :) PS : I can keep the fan on the MAG 360R and color my S360 (I prefer to have a choice to put off the light) . The fans are more powerfull than the new silent gape but they're noisy at 100% (I use a headphone so i don't care about the noise and the home cinema cover it without problems during a movie) Continue to reassure me with your videos bro", thanks again !!!
Unfortunately I haven’t tested the k360 so I couldn’t give you a good answer. The S360 I have cools my Ryzen 9 really well and same or better than other coolers I’ve used so far. That’s about all I can say

Great review 🤗
Thank you 🙏
i was expecting to see shots of the components , esp the way the radiator looks. oh well...
I will keep that in mind for next time. Thank you for the feedback! 🙏
And no GPU temperature?? Guess I'm ordering the nzxt z73
I have a question regarding the brightness of the screen, is it low? Or is it because of the case glass?
Its decent in person but the reflective plastic on the screen makes it dim. I removed that personally afterwards to brighten it up
@@BuildsWithV is it still working fine ?

if i want to paint my gpu like you did, do i have to take everything apart or is it possible to take only the gpu shroud and paint it?
