A big thank you to MSI for supplying the review sample.
MSI is a well-established name in the PC gaming industry, known for its wide array of products. Chances are, if you are a PC enthusiast, you have owned or currently own something from MSI, whether it's a desktop, laptop, motherboard, or graphics card. As a key player in the market, it is no surprise that MSI continues to grow and branch out into new product areas. They now cover just about everything mentioned previously alongside PSUs, keyboards, mice, monitors, liquid coolers and more. It's no stretch of the imagination to say that MSI stands as one of the premier brands offering just about everything you could need to get the most out of your next system.
I will be looking at MSI's MAG CORELIQUID A15 360 all-in-one liquid cooler in today's review. It may appear to be just another AIO, but that's only on the surface level. For Intel LGA1851 builds, MSI includes an offset mounting bracket to improve cooling depending on the CPU you're utilizing which does set it apart. Beyond that you have a design that is well-thought-out, looks great, packs an interesting ARGB lighting setup and with daisy-chained fans keeps cable clutter to a minimum. Overall there is a lot to like, so before getting to the performance let's take a closer look and see what else MSI has up their sleeve with the MAG CORELIQUID A15 360.
