The water block on the MSI MEG CORELIQUID S360 measures 95x95x54mm which makes it one of the largest assemblies that we’ve looked at.

Due to the laws of thermodynamics, expect it to perform a little worse than the 360mm version we’re reviewing today, but should turn in some fairly comparable numbers. While we have the 360mm radiator version that we’re reviewing today, this AIO is also available with a 280mm radiator that sports a pair of 140mm fans. That’s right, it has LGA 1700 support right out of the box! This range covers most high-end desktop processors on the market today as well as one socket that is not quite on the market yet, Intel’s LGA 1700, which is due out when Alder Lake arrives. The MSI MEG CORELIQUID S360 is an all-in-one (AIO) CPU cooler that is designed to work on a wide variety of sockets. This is a brand new launch from MSI that we are excited to dive into. We do this to test AIO liquid cooling solutions that are likely to be used with some of today’s most demanding CPUs. We will again be using our AIO test platform that is capable of putting out enough heat to make even the devil sweat. The MEG CORELIQUID S360 will have an MSRP of $279.99 and the S280 will have an MSRP of $249.99. The MEG series sits at the top, with the MPG series right below, and then MAG. This being of the MEG series means it stands for MSI Enthusiast Gaming (MSI innovative MEG silent) and is MSI’s top-of-the-line series for hardware. MSI has three distinct categories of coolers, under the MEG, MAG, and MPG naming. It is based on the Asetek 7 th generation pump platform and competes with the likes of the ASUS ROG RYUJIN II 360, NZXT KRAKEN Z73, and GIGABYTE AORUS WATERFORCE X360. The CORELIQUID S series is made for gamers and creators and focuses on high performance, with as low a noise profile as possible. The CORELIQUID S series will be comprised of two AIOs, the S360 which is a 360mm AIO with three fans, the S280 which is a 280mm AIO with two fans.

MSI sent us its MEG CORELIQUID S360 that is part of the “ CORELIQUID S” series launch series that comes with a 2.4 IPS display. We have looked at a number of their video cards, motherboards, SSDs, and power supplies, but today, we’ll take their new AIO cooler (liquid cooler) out for a spin to see if it continues their reputation for providing good products to gamers and creators.

MSI has been a staple in the PC component industry for as long as all of us can remember and over the course of the years, has been branching out from its motherboard roots into a full stack of products.
