CONCLUSION

    As you can all see I decided to "ditch" my AMD Ryzen 9 7900X system which I was using for CPU cooler reviews latest and replace it with the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 285k system (although not true for all AIO models the 1700 pieces fit well with this motherboard). Its core offset combined with the fact that it's already almost 2 years old were the decisive factors and even though this meant I had to go back and redo several tests for all the AIO models I have here in the lab (took me roughly 3 days to complete) I think it was well worth the extra effort. Now, when it comes to the MasterLiquid 360 Atmos I was really impressed by it, not so much because end users can customize the top of the pump with their own 3D printed objects (even though I didn't end up testing that feature still, it's a nice one to have if you own a 3D printer) but because of its very good cooling efficiency which it actually managed to produce with minimal noise levels (2nd most silent in the charts). Again, just like most AIO liquid CPU coolers in the market today you can't expect it to cool motherboard components or even your RAM, but it does a great job when it comes to keeping your CPU temperatures in check and well, for most people this obviously matters most. As for the Master CTRL software, it's a bit harder to use than expected (for example it doesn't automatically detect your AIO, so you need to choose it on your own) but still better than no control software at all.

    As I type these lines the MasterLiquid 360 Atmos AIO Liquid CPU Cooler by Cooler Master retails for USD139.32 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 163.59Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which lands it right between several similar tri-fan models from the competition. At the end of the day there’s not much to say about the MasterLiquid 360 Atmos that wasn’t mentioned in this review. Cooling efficiency is very good, noise levels couldn’t be much lower, it looks great and is properly priced (at least on the other side of the Atlantic), so the Golden Award is in order.
