Rank #7 in Best AIO CPU Cooler 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Spec Numbers That Disagree
MSI MAG CORELIQUID A13 360
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MSI MAG CORELIQUID A13 360 is a 360 mm all-in-one liquid cooler listed at £59.99, carrying 394 Amazon ratings that average 4.6 out of 5. It takes seventh place in this guide, and it also supplies the clearest example of the problem the guide is about: its marketing copy and its own specification table describe two different coolers.
The bullet points say the pump runs at up to 3,800 RPM and quote 31.1 dBA for the Rifle Bearing fans. The specification table on the same page lists a maximum rotational speed of 2,000 RPM and a noise level of 20 decibels, and it never says whether "Max Rotational Speed" refers to the pump or to the fans. Nothing in the listing reconciles the two sets of figures, which means neither can be lined up against the Corsair or the TZMRIT numbers elsewhere in this guide. Every figure below comes from MSI's Amazon listing; we have not tested the cooler ourselves.
