Cool Master ML 360R AIO or be quiet dark rock pro 4 for i7 9700K*Updated*

[RTX 5080 FE(Mr Happy)]

Just looking for last minute feedback I have about an hour before I can not cancel


PC i7 9700K
GTX 1080ti
16Gb ddr4

I am replacing my aging H100i gtx (lasted 5 years) with a ML360R inside of a Phanteks Eclipse P400A case.


Has anybody used the ML 360R? And if so how would you compare it to the darkrock? (sorry noctua not an option for my case, choices I am willing to pick are the 2 I listed)

If you had the same hardware and had to pick, which of the 2 would you take? Thanks

The AIO will perform better for sure, it just costs a lot more.

That Case cant fit Dark Rock Pro 4, heatsink is too high.
It can fit 360mm radiator AIO in front though.

Ok that is what I am looking to hear. I know its pricy and alot of that is due to the RGB Puke. But I am currently running at 4.7Ghz, and would like to eventually push to 5.1Ghz when i buy a better mobo

cant tell if his side is on or off, but I am going to stick with the 360. I loved my H100i for 5 years and the h150i is forever out of stock, and I like cool master, so I wont change my order. Should be here by the 8th, Ill update thread when I build her together. Thank you both!

That case has maximum heatsink clearance 160mm, Dark Rock Pro 4 has 163mm high heatsink, unless you plan to keep the sidepanel off it`s not gone work.

Thanks for the clarification. Any idea what kinda of temps I can expect on the ml360r? I had to buy the new case to support the aio

Oh wow, then it should cool my i7 9700k at 4.7Ghz with ease!

[RTX 5080 FE(Mr Happy)]

Ok I got my pc rebuilt.

I am overclocked to 5Ghz at 1.35 voltage. Temps stay under 55c in most games, under 70 in adia64 and under 80 in prime 95.


Cooling is amazing. Fans are not that loud. But software is broken, so unless you got motherboard support for argb, you are stuck with default color. Also so many damn wires.

Some EFT at 5Ghz(No idea how to play that lol)

I woult be ver interested in knowing how it is working for you after a week or so to get used to it.

I am looking at either a 280 or 360, or the noctua for my 3900x...

Ill be happy to let you know in a week. I heard great thing about the Noctura. The 360 is great for cooling but a ton of wires to manage.

All the RGB AIOs are like that, you have your fan cables and RGB cables and pump cable, the more fans the messier.

I had the H100i wasnt rgb, but I also have the H115i on my back up pc, and it easily has 30% less cables. A friend of mine has the Kracken X72(thats a decent aio he says) and it also had less than the 360. The 360 is known for its ratnest of cables. Not that its a bad thing, you have alot of options, just be ready to spend more time on cable management than you did putting the hardware together lolol.


All in all, I am able to reach 5Ghz at 1.35V stable. Gaming for 8 hours last night never reached over 50c on max settings. Very happy of my pain in the ass I built lol
