MSI MEG Coreliquid S360 CPU Cooler Review
Earlier we reviewed MSI MPG CORELIQUID K360 CPU cooler which is a 360mm AIO CPU cooling solution with ARGB Fans and a 2.4 inch fully customizable LDC screen.
Today we are reviewing similar CPU cooling solutions from MSI, the MSI MEG CORELIQUID S360 CPU cooler from MEG CORELIQUID Series product line. The “S” here stands for silence. MSI MEG CORELIQUID S360 CPU cooler is designed to provide silence cooling with no RGB lightings.
Beside being a 360mm AIO CPU cooling solution, the MSI MEG CORELIQUID S360 CPU cooler comes equipped with MSI's innovative MEG SILENT GALE P12 silent gaming fans alongside a 2.4 inch fully customizable IPS screen.

Conclusion
In our testing the MSI MEG CORELIQUID S360 AIO offers decent performance, and the whole unit was very quiet throughout the testing.
I am very pleased with the MSI CORELIQUID App, very easy to use with great UI. Everything is very straight forward, with full control over the IPS Display and Fan Settings.
At a price tag of Rs.21k(approx.), the MSI MEG CORELIQUID S360 AIO is little high at the pricing side, but you get a very high performance and very silent CPU cooler making the MSI MEG CORELIQUID S360 worthy of our PC TeK Reviews EXCELLENCE Award.
