The weakest case for ownership: adequate-at-best performance, unremarkable pump and fans, and the thinnest cooler-specific support story here. Buy an ID-COOLING FX360 PRO or a Thermalright air tower instead.

The MSI MAG CoreLiquid A13 360 proves that budget doesn’t mean compromise. At an almost unbelievable $79.99, this Amazon’s Choice cooler delivers performance that rivals units costing three times as much. My testing with a Ryzen 9 5900X showed idle temperatures of 24-35°C and full load temperatures staying at 60-70°C—exceptional for any 360mm AIO.

mine worked great for a little over a month but 2 days ago i started smelling a wet musty smell and when i took it out to examine it i noticed what looked like a dried up water stain on the bottom of the block on one side and discoloration on the metal bracket piece that slides into the block. same side as the water stain.
