Unlock Next-Gen Cooling Power with the MasterLiquid 360 Core Nex
Upgrade your build with the Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360 Core Nex ARGB CPU Cooler, a liquid cooler designed to keep modern high-performance CPUs running at peak efficiency.
Building upon the success of the MasterLiquid series, the Core Nex edition introduces a refined design, enhanced cooling components, and stunning visual flair.
At the heart of the MasterLiquid Core Nex Series Liquid Cooler is a dual-chamber pump that maximizes cooling synergy by optimizing water flow directly at critical CPU hotspots.
This patented approach increases water pressure and thermal transfer efficiency, ensuring that even high-TDP processors remain stable under load.
The pump design also includes a rotatable cover with an infinity mirror effect that enhances lighting depth and scope, making it a standout feature inside your system.
The 360 mm radiator, constructed from durable aluminum, is engineered to deliver superior heat dissipation across a larger surface area.
Paired with three high-performance 120 mm ARGB fans, the Master Liquid 360mm ARGB Liquid Cooler effectively moves heat away from the CPU while maintaining a balanced acoustic profile.
These fans operate within a 650 – 1750 RPM range, striking the optimal balance between airflow and noise, and feature rifle bearings for long lifespan and consistent airflow.
Aesthetic customization plays a significant role in the Cooler Master 360mm Black ARGB CPU Cooler appeal.
Key Features:
-
Gen S Dual Chamber Pump: The heart of the Core Nex is its newly designed Gen S Dual Chamber pump. By separating hot and cold liquid currents and optimizing the internal impeller, Cooler Master has achieved a precise balance of powerful water flow and whisper-quiet operation.
-
Performance-Tuned 360mm Radiator: The radiator features an expanded surface area with increased fin density. This maximizes contact with the coolant, allowing the three 120mm fans to dissipate heat rapidly, ensuring your processor stays cool even during intense gaming or rendering sessions.
-
Stunning ARGB Aesthetics: Customize your rig with fully addressable RGB lighting. The pump features a clean, minimalist translucent top that glows with vibrant colors, perfectly matched by the three included ARGB fans. Synchronization is effortless with major motherboard software like Aura Sync, Mystic Light, and Polychrome Sync.
-
Optimized Fan Performance: The included 120mm ARGB fans are engineered for high static pressure and airflow (up to 71.93 CFM), pushing air effectively through the radiator while maintaining low noise levels.
-
Easy Installation: The MasterLiquid 360 Core Nex ARGB CPU Cooler comes with a redesigned mounting bracket kit that simplifies the installation process. It is fully compatible with the latest CPU sockets, including Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5, making it a future-proof choice for your PC.
