MSI already has its hands in graphics cards, motherboards, laptops, desktops and peripherals, but it looks like that's not enough for the vendor. Its latest experiment is the MAG CoreLiquid series, which is MSI's go at liquid cooling. After showing off the MAG CoreLiquid 240RH and 360RH at CES 2020 in January, MSI today announced the coolers alongside the 360R and 240R variants.

Getting around Asetek's patents, MSI implemented a creative solution here: The coolers' water pumps are implemented into the radiator. According to MSI, this reduces vibrations and increases the products' life expectancy.

This design makes the water block itself a little simpler, though MSI hasn't skimped on aggressive design elements. What we do like to see is that the logo on top can be rotated 270 degrees to match your system's orientation. This means you can mount the water block with tubing coming out at your ideal location, rather than where the tubes happen to turn out when orienting the block's logo correctly.

The fans on the coolers spin at between 500 and 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 78 CFM. The 240 and 360 designations in the names refer to the radiator sizes for carrying either two or three 120mm fans; however, MSI hasn't clarified the differences between the R and RH versions of the coolers.

The loops are compatible with all modern CPU sockets. MSI hasn't announced pricing for the MAG CoreLiquid series yet.

    I just ordered 360R . Hopefully this will be enough to cool my TR 2990WX. I been using a old Cooler Master ML240 up till now, but now that I figured out how to cool the VRMs on my MSI X399 SLI Plus, I can now clock this CPU up to 4GHz on all cores. Just need more cooling than a 240 radiator.

    One has to be careful with the brokers on the internet now. Last year I was scammed in the binary trade option by a broker I met on Instagram. I invested $140,000 which I lost, I couldn’t make a withdrawal and I slowly lost access to my trade account for 3 months. I was frustrated and depressed. After a few months, I met Olivia who is A recovery expert that works with Olivia Trader affiliation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other law firm. he worked me through the process of getting my money back and all the extra bonus which I got during my trading. he can be of help to anyone who has a similar situation. You can contact her via mail: o-l-i-v-i-a-t-r-a-d-e-r -4-4 -@ -g-m-a-i-l.c-o-m
