The EZ Conn-Design further streamlines the process, making installation quick and hassle-free.
Beyond convenience, the MPG CORELIQUID P13 360 delivers impressive cooling performance. Below are thermal test results with various AMD and Intel CPUs. Keep in mind that CPU temperatures may vary depending on the individual CPU, workload, system configuration, and ambient environment.
Cool Under Pressure - Cinebench 2024 & AIDA64 Tests
We ran the Cinebench 2024 and AIDA64 System Stability Test (CPU) for 30 minutes, then recorded the average CPU temperature reported by the software.
Results show that with the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, Ryzen 9 9900X, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, the cooler was able to keep average CPU temperatures at around 80 °C or lower.
Gaming Tests
After 30 minutes of gameplay, average CPU temperatures ranged from 47 °C to 70 °C, demonstrating outstanding cooling performance. Since CPU temperature naturally fluctuates depending on in-game workload, both the average and peak temperatures are listed for reference.
