The MSI MAG CORELIQUID A13 360 is described as setting a standard for modern coolers, incorporating minimal features such as ARGB lighting, pre-installed daisy-chained fans, easy installation, and good performance. It is presented as a baseline model that offers a good overall experience without unnecessary extras. Other product lines may offer more features for those who desire them.
Performance testing of the MAG CORELIQUID A13 360 revealed impressive results, achieving the best temperatures seen so far in the new testbench during both idle and load conditions. The CycloBlade 7 fans, despite having slightly lower specifications compared to the CycloBlade 9, are well-suited for the 20 fin-per-inch 27.2mm radiator. The combination of a full copper base with an updated water channel design, a high-flowing pump, and the fan/radiator pairing contributed to the cooler’s great performance, especially considering its price point.
It is noted that the AIO cooler was the loudest tested in the new system, excluding the max speed test, which is attributed to the CycloBlade 7 fans’ low max RPM.
The MSI MAG CORELIQUID A13 360 is available for $87.63. The cooler’s performance relative to its cost has earned it a 9 out of 10 rating and a Good Value Award.
