It has been almost two years since we last looked at an all-in-one CPU cooler from Cooler Master, but that all changes with this review. The Elite Liquid series of AIOs from Cooler Master are available in both 240mm and 360mm sizes, and in both black and white colorways. With a conservative look that offers a soft glow of light, the Elite Liquid series coolers should be a great choice for many builds. ARGB-lit fans and a dual-chamber pump design pair up with a 360mm radiator for cooling duties. With the Elite Liquid 360 properly introduced, let’s get into the review.
Special thanks to Cooler Master for providing the Elite Liquid 360 review sample!
Specifications of the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 360
Packaging of the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 360
The Cooler Master Elite Liquid 360 is packaged in a minimalist cardboard box, with a bit of an outline visual of the cooler’s pump housing design. This is a very minimalist design, which seems to be perfectly in line with the cooler itself.
Around the back of the box is a small specifications table, providing valuable information about the cooler inside.
Internally, the cooler is help in place via a simple molded cardboard tray, with the components further protected from superficial damage via plastic wrappings.
Accessories that come with the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 360
Included with the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 360 is an arrangement of installation components for modern AMD and Intel platforms, as well as a few regulatory and marketing materials. This hardware bundle includes mounting brackets, fan screws, and some cabling used to connect the fans to the rest of your system. Thankfully, Cooler Master does provide a printed manual to assist with installation duties. What is not found in the accessories packaging is any extra thermal paste. While we do appreciate the convenience of pre-applied paste, a small tube of extra paste is always a welcome item.
