Cooler Master MLX-D36M-A25PZ-R1 MasterLiquid Atmos 360 AIO CPU Cooler

Name: Cooler Master MLX-D36M-A25PZ-R1 MasterLiquid Atmos 360 AIO CPU Cooler
Brand: Cooler Master
SKU: MLX-D36M-A25PZ-R1

Overview

The Cooler Master MasterLiquid Atmos 360 is a 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler built around a proprietary dual-chamber pump that separates the intake and output flow paths to increase water pressure and direct coolant more efficiently to the CPU hot spot. This design refinement translates to improved heat absorption at the cold plate and more consistent coolant circulation through the aluminum radiator. Three pre-installed 120mm SickleFlow Edge fans — rated at up to 2500 RPM with 70.7 CFM airflow each and 3.61 mmH₂O static pressure — push air through the radiator while maintaining a quiet 27.2 dBA noise profile thanks to Cooler Master's Loop Dynamic Bearing technology, which also extends fan lifespan beyond 160,000 hours.

Aesthetically, the Atmos 360 features ARGB Gen 2 LEDs on both the pump head and all three fans, offering vivid customizable lighting that can sync with RGB-certified motherboards from major manufacturers, or be controlled independently via the included ARGB controller, MasterCTRL interface, or MasterPlus software. A standout feature is the 3D-printable pump top cover — Cooler Master has published designs on Printables.com, and the community continues to expand the library of custom covers. Installation is designed to be straightforward, with simplified CPU brackets and socket-specific hardware packaged separately for Intel LGA 1700/1200/1151/1150/1155/1156 and AMD AM5/AM4 platforms. Low-profile fan screws further improve compatibility with compact cases where clearance is tight.

Key Features

DUAL CHAMBER PUMP - In-house design, the dual chamber pump has been refined to enhance cooling synergy with increased water pressure & optimised flow to the CPU hot spot; Customisable pump top cover with 3D-printed parts (modifications on Printables.com)

SICKLEFLOW EDGE FANS - Pre-installed 120 mm SF Edge fans use Loop Dynamic Bearing (LDB) for ultra-quiet performance (27.2 dBA) & improved durability (>160,000 MTTF); Installed with low-profile screws for improved small case compatibility

COOLING PERFORMANCE - The aluminium radiator (394 x 119.6 x 27.2 mm) & PWM fans deliver optimal cooling (70.7 CFM, 2500 RPM) & air pressure (3.61 mmH2O); Tube clips included for cable management

ARGB GEN 2 RGB - Pump & fan ARGB LEDs allow custom lighting, sync with RGB-certified motherboards or control manually via the included controller, MasterCTRL or MasterPlus; Cooler Master's MasterCTRL is a new intuitive UI for device & design control

AMD & INTEL COMPATIBLE - Designed for super easy & seamless installation with simplified CPU brackets design & separate packaging; Brackets support Intel LGA (1700/1200/1151/1150/1155/1156) & AMD (AM5/AM4) sockets

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

Dual-chamber pump design increases water pressure and optimizes coolant flow to the CPU hot spot
SickleFlow Edge 120mm fans achieve just 27.2 dBA with Loop Dynamic Bearing for long lifespan (160,000+ hours MTTF)
ARGB Gen 2 lighting on both pump and fans with multiple control options including a standalone controller
Broad socket compatibility covering current Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5 platforms
Customizable pump top cover supports 3D-printed modifications via Printables.com

👎 Cons

360mm radiator (394 x 119.6 x 27.2 mm) requires a case with full 360mm radiator mount support
At 3.12 pounds total weight, the radiator and tubing add significant mass that must be securely mounted
Low-profile fan screws improve SFF compatibility but may not be interchangeable with standard fan screws
3-pin pump connector limits pump speed control compared to a 4-pin PWM pump header

Frequently Asked Questions

What CPU sockets does the MasterLiquid Atmos 360 support?

It supports Intel LGA 1700, 1200, 1151, 1150, 1155, and 1156 sockets, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4 sockets. Mounting brackets are included for all supported platforms in separate packaging for easy installation.

How loud are the pre-installed SickleFlow Edge fans under load?

Cooler Master rates the SickleFlow Edge fans at 27.2 dBA, which is considered ultra-quiet operation. The Loop Dynamic Bearing (LDB) design also contributes to lower noise levels compared to traditional sleeve or ball bearings.

Can the ARGB lighting be controlled without a compatible motherboard?

Yes. The Atmos 360 includes a standalone ARGB controller, so you can customize the lighting on both the pump head and fans without motherboard RGB headers. You can also use Cooler Master's MasterCTRL or MasterPlus software for more advanced control.

Is the pump top cover customizable?

Yes. Cooler Master designed the pump top cover to accept 3D-printed replacement parts. Community-designed and official modifications are available on Printables.com, allowing you to personalize the cooler's appearance.
