KitGuru: Cooler Master MasterLiquid PL360 Flux Review

Cooler Master has a new MasterLiquid AIO on the market; the PL360 Flux. With this new model, the company is aiming for the high-end segment for closed-loop liquid cooling units. And it is gunning for that segment with the promise of high performance from its dual-chamber pump, 0 RPM mode on the new Flux series fans, and strong all-round RGB lighting.

We find out how they perform, while also comparing the cards to Gigabyte’s Eagle and Palit’s StormX OC models.

We are reviewing the Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Master which has a monumental VRM that employs 19x 105A phases for the Vcore and also supports a huge number of USB ports.

Mad Shrimps: Crucial P5 Plus 2TB PCIe M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 Gaming SSD Review
