igor´sLAB Enrico Steinert · reviewer · Jul 2026 Even in operation normalized to 40 dB(A), the Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360 Atmos II White clearly shows that, in terms of performance, it belongs to the upper class of 360 mm AIO coolers. To reach the target noise level, the fans only had to run at 79% PWM, or around 1,950 RPM. After the short warm-up phase, all temperature curves stabilize quickly at a constant level and remain remarkably steady over the entire measurement period. Larger fluctuations or noticeable readjustments do not occur, which speaks for a well-balanced tuning of radiator, pump unit, and fan module.Read C
