Ryan Kerschner — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 08:00:03 +0000

First shown to us at CES 2024, the MasterLiquid 360 ION is Cooler Master's latest CPU All-in-One cooler. As with most flagship AIOs we have seen lately, the 360 ION features an LCD screen, ARGB fans, and software control for an advanced take on configuration and performance. With Mobius 120P fans, an updated dual-chamber pump, and updated mounting hardware, the MasterLiquid 360 ION should be set to be a nice cooler.

Bob Buskirk — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 00:45:27 +0000

The Tower 300 brings with it a slight change to the Tower Series design by incorporating an octagonal design with angled corners instead of the 90-degree ones we saw on previous cases. This allows for better viewing angles into the case and the ability for it to really look like a capsule. Beyond that the Tower 300 will support both Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX motherboards, graphics cards as long as 400mm, and even 420mm radiators. Let's see if this cases lives up to all of the hype it had at CES!

The big change here is that Noctua has added 2 more heatpipes and increased the size of the cooler to 77mm. Even at this size the cooler will still fit in SFF cases like the Fractal Design Terra, Silverstone Milo ML12 or Louqe Raw S1.

Ryan Kerschner — Fri, 28 Jun 2024 12:55:00 +0000

In this review, we are back with another Lian Li AIO, the HydroShift LCD 360S. As the name implies, this is a 360mm AIO CPU cooler that also includes a nearly 3" LCD screen on the pump housing. While the 360S version of this cooler eschews RGB LEDs for a more subtle look, you do have the option of the 360RGB or 360TL if you want more RGB in your life. With a unique take on hiding the cooling lines for a cleaner look, the HydroShift LCD 360S is the next step in AIO cooling from Lian Li.
