This video is 10 times more useful than the official instalation guide you get from the box. I scratched my head because the light just didn't want to turn on even after I make sure I already plug all the argb fan to my argb hub.
I have the MSI M360 for which I could not, for the life of me, find any coherent instruction for. But then I found this and even though the cooler is technically different, it helped me so much with the installation. This was so well done that even a baby could understand it.
not even msi installation vid was this good. Thanks so much, saved me from falling apart when doing my first build and couldn't figure out how to connect it
It literally took me a WEEK to find this video. The only reason I *knew* it was pump up, was because other friends guided me. (It was my first AIO install.) As you said, their website, install guide, and videos don't tell you the correct way.
i can’t mount the radiator onto the cpu and i’m doing the same exact steps as this video and others. it’s like an inch away from the cpu and i can’t tighten the screws. any help?

I just got this AIO in a trade today on FB Marketplace. i plan on using it to replace my 240mm Corsair AIO. The Corsair AIO works fine but I figure a 360 is going to be better or just as good as a 240 AIO. The main reason I'm replacing the Corsair AIO is because I'm slowly moving to an all black build. i got rid of all my white components and my AIO and cables are the last white components I have left to switch out. I really like how simple this AIO is. My Corsair AIO has like 5 different cables coming from the pump head and since I don't plan on using any RGB this pump head won't have any cables coming from it so it's really going to make my build look cleaner. I'll be using Fan Control for the rad fans and the pump, although tbh I usually just keep my rad fans at 100% all the time.
Thanks for the video. I followed the whole thing to install my MSI 360r. It's keeping my 5800x under 80c at peak boost, constant gaming load around mid 60s.
My favorite episode was the XPG battlecruiser build , so much so I built my new pc with that case and love it .Thanks for these videos and keep up the awesome work!!🔥🔥
Hey i have a simple question, with a gungnir 110r its possible to just put the rgb pump câble to the controller rgb behind and not on a Jrainbow header ?
I really love videos like this. It’s very informative and is very resourceful. It uses what is already provided instead of using something else and not explaining very well on what to do. Please keep up the good work.
Warning: They're great but unfortunately these watercooler versions from MSI have a design flaw. These are so faulty that I can't believe they are still being sold. After a few months, a grinding sound will show up every time you start your computer. Getting worse and worse with time. I bought one, sent it back, got a second one thinking maybe it was bad luck, and it did it again. If you really wish to buy one, do not install it on top like it's generally supposed to. Install it vertically on the front, and even then, I don't know, I wouldn't risk my money with these. EDIT: Apparently it was a bad batch, pumps were getting clogged because they were producing sediment. Making them unreliable after a few months. MSI found this after an investigation. A recall was made so people could get a replacement and the V2 model was born. I guess the overheating and rattling issues got fixed but take it with a grain of salt.
@@presliitagure662 do you have any details on the opening and cleaning process? like how you did it, pics or videos. My unit has started to make noise at boot. I want to open it but im afraid to ruin it. I saw theres some sort of goo inside, motorbike fluid is usually less viscous. wouldnt that create a problem for the pump? thx
I too just had this go faulty after 6 months. About to replace it with an air cooler to see if that solves my problem - then it'll be going back for replacement. Not noticed a grinding and the fans all run but cpu started hitting 100c just loading into a game.
Just to warn those out there who are using the p400a with this cooler. It is very hard to put the front panel back on once this is in place, you really have to push the fans up therefore givimngb a lot mof pressure on the cables from the front panel connectors
I'm just recently doing a brand new PC build with this exact motherboard and cooler but I've heard a lot of different ways to install the radiator. I've been told that the best way is to have the tubes coming off the radiator installed at the bottom instead of the top because of eventual air that will get into the system down the line. What are your thoughts on this.
Very well explained video! This is my very first pc. Ive been having a hard time for almost two weeks. Just saw this video today. Took me 20minutes to hook everything up!!
Great video Nick, I'am in the process of building a PC for my nephew and will be using this AIO and it will be the first time installing an AIO in over 10 years. The first time I installed one didn't have all the bling so this guide will be a great help.
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar! I was setting this up with zero instructions and minimal pc building knowledge. Let’s just say the last pc I built was a Compaq! I got it working tho! The cords aren’t as good as yours I’m nervous to unhook them and move them to the back but I’ll just deal with it. Now if I could just figure out how to sink all my other fans
The V2 does not come with instructions so this was some what useful. but you glazed over and skipped some key steps. For AM4 pretightening the the cpu cooler clamps did not fit. and the wiring is a joke.
Edit: Gear Seekers resolved my problem! Thanks so much :) amazing guide! but it would have been nice to warn anyone who has the p400a that installing the fans as push configuration like you did will not allow you to put the front pannel with the mesh back on...
@@GearSeekers what do you mean by readjust the rad? The bottom lip of the front panel won't fit. The only way I see to make it fit is by putting the fans on the other side :/
@@GearSeekers wow you are 100% right! I didn't think it could go any higher because of the cables for the front buttons(on/off, fan RGB modes) but with some pressure I got it all the way up on the bracket and front panel totally fits! Thanks so much :) subscribed
Great video man, it helps for people who want to install this AIO. Honestly the design is meh, however it's nice to see some deviation from your usual AIO such as the pump being in the radiator instead of near to the cold plate. Aesthetically, it reduces the amount of cable on the front. But I don't know if this design choice has any technical advantage over the usual pump location.
You definitely wouldn't want to put this on top. Me and many more have suffered from the issue that the pump will fail. Air rises to the top and it makes its way into the pump. So front input is probably the best and only way to get a huge lifespan from this cooler where the pump will maintain under water
@@iiSup3riorHello, I am installing one, but I have read that I have to install it with the hoses from the bottom up, to leave the pump at the bottom, the bad thing is that it looks horrible. But in this video he installs it with the hoses from top to bottom, I don't know what to do.
mounting kit is the same as lian li galahad and so as the rotating design. the pump location is definitely an interesting. I hope msi include some kind of vibration dampers for the radiator as pump will make some kind of noise due to vibration
I had to watch your video multiple times in order to understand the daisy chaining and one thing which was confusing was that you had connected the pump fan header a little confusing way. Later, I was able to figure out that the pump itself have two cables one is the rgb header and the pump fan header. Yeah it got a bit confusing but at the end watching it several times and understanding all the part while pausing the video helped a lot.
this guide make my day.. at soon as i open and saw a lot of cables and screws my head hurt...but thanks to your video and great step by step instruciones makeit really easy...thanks and chears... 5 star video
I used the 240R in the MSI Gungnir 110R case which has an ARGB hub built in that can control all 6 fans(4 case fans + 2 on the AIO). Great design and looks great with everything synced up perfectly. Highly recommend!
Sorry but did you connect the water block RGB to the RGB hub in the back instead of the jrainbow pins stated in the video? I have the exact same things as you.
@@val_kyo I have 6 ARGB fans(3 intake, 2 on the top mounted AIO radiator and 1 exhausting out the back) as well as the waterblock and a custom ARGB heatsink for my M.2 SSD all connected to the ARGB hub in the back. But Idid have to add a splitter or two to fit them all.
@@CFC003 I used the Coreliquid 240R with the radiator mounted at the top. I've since upgraded to the Coreliquid S360 which can only mount in the front. Both using the Gungnir 110R case.
@TOERAGw06 Im in the process of building my very first gaming work space set up, I'm not confident enough in myself to do water cooling, also the liquid itself is quite expensive where I live :/
@TOERAGw06 Im in the process of building my very first gaming work space set up, I'm not confident enough in myself to do water cooling, also the liquid itself is quite expensive where I live :/
Yo same. It's really weird especially considering it had worked well before. I'm just guessing it's missing some water, since the AIO seems to be working fine otherwise. I even reapplied the thermal paste. However, if you fixed your issue I'd be glad to know.
@@mickpoore3326 I ended up replacing the cooler with Noctua's NH-D15 since I figured the pump was broken in the AIO. Make sure everything is working before doing the same.
Ok, so from everything I've read/watched on AIO installs should the pump not actually be at the lowest point of the loop to avoid the air collecting there, meaning should you not have put the rad the other way around? Or is it different with this system as the pump itself is actually in the rad and therefore the air would escape anyway?
Suposedly if the pump itself is lower than the highest point of the circuit it will be alright. In this case it should be fine as the pump is a bit below the top of the radiator tubes.
@@diogosimao3212 I believe once the orientation is set, shake lightly but for some time to let the air move to the highest point and out of the pump. I saw the video by JaysTwoCents where he explains it beautifully
That was super helpful thank you so much. I was worried I wont have enough Fan and RGB connectors on my motherboard (MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus) but given the Daisy Chain and Fan Splitter I should be fine (as far as I understood the installation process xD)
I was thinking of getting one for a new build where I’m using the o11 dynamic so this is good as some of them are slightly different with rgb software use
I think you missed just a tip for something. "How are the fans and radiator supposed to be attached if the case doesn't allow that sandwich method?" like in one of those NZXT cases with sound-proofing. Not enough space inside the front/top panels for a sandwich but enough for the entire thing inside. How would one go about screwing the fans and radiators onto the case?
i can’t mount the radiator onto the cpu and i’m doing the same exact steps as this video and others. it’s like an inch away from the cpu and i can’t tighten the screws. any help?
Stupid question, for the 240r , you can install the radiator at the top side of the case instead at the front as shown here? If the radiator is installed on top of the case and the fans are below the radiator, should the fans have to take air from the outside to the inside of the case or vise versa?
Exactly what I needed! Thanks for this video. I wasn't quite sure how the daisy chaining worked. My MB has 3 ARGB connectors, so this will let me put in a few Lian RGB fans as well.
I had the Fractal Celsius+ S28 Dynamic 280mm cooler for a while. It also has this sub-par method for mounting to AMD. I now have the Deepcool Castle 280EX which uses the 4 thumbscrew method for mounting, which is superior to this MSI or Fractal method of mounting to an AMD motherboard. The Deepcool also has a square cold plate, instead of round one like this or the Fractal.
that is a 50/50% right or wrong answer. 50% will give you a thumbs up and the other 50% will give u a nay and will say tubes have to go from the upperside
Very disappointed: I changed a Corsair 240mm that at idle kept the temperature at maximum 43 degrees in summer, for this MSI 360mm, and now the idle temperature does not go below 55 degrees, and it is not a matter of poor installation or quality of thermal paste. Besides, the Corsair had it with 4 fans, two on each side of the radiator, the MSI the same, 3 on each side of the radiator, but nothing, in the Corsair the temperature difference between 2 and 4 fans was noticeable, not in the MSI.
For anyone that is considering getting this water cooler DON'T! They did a horrible design with the pump location being in the radiator and not the CPU Block which causes air pockets and the pump will run dry and burn out, and make's your CPU run hot until it crashes.
I would recommend you avoid this cooler at all costs. I am currently sending my second one back to the store. Both my original purchase, of this exact model (the 360R), and my replacement failed with just over a year use of each. The fans still spun, but my CPU hit 100 degrees Celsius, and then thermal throttled from there. Maybe I'm super unlucky, but two exact same coolers failing the exact same way is way too much of a coincidence for me. Won't be purchasing an MSI cooler again.
1:13 you say that it seems not to be suitable for Threadripper (ie. sWRX8, SP3, or TR4 sockets). I hold the same suspicion. 1. Did you measure the actual sizes? 2. What liquid cooler would you recommend to look for?
@Gear Seekers Keeping in mind that in a particular case, you can have either of the two configurations, tubes up and tubes down. which would be the best? That the radiator pump will be the lowest in the circuit, correct??? Sending you a big hug from México!!!
I watch for your videos. I like how you explain things. I have this cooler in the 240r. But, i will be putting it up top. The only thing i would've liked to see is what to watch out for with regards to the position of the hoses. Thanks
At 6:45 you have the two mounting brackets, one has it's screw missing and when you put it on the aio cooler it has a screw. Mine has a screw missing, but quick install guide shows two both with a screw.. am I missing something? Or I'm missing the screw?
how you fit the front cover after that installation? I have the same phanteks case and this is case is not designed to have the front fans like that bro.
Awesome video much better than manufactures, however you failed to mention installing the fans like you did, does allow the front cover to fit properly on this case (p400a). Also you didn't mention that you removed the front HDD bracket to allow the radiator to fit. Just thought I'd mention this to help others out with this same setup.
This video is 10 times more useful than the official instalation guide you get from the box.
I scratched my head because the light just didn't want to turn on even after I make sure I already plug all the argb fan to my argb hub.
Figured out a solution yet??
Amen. There are parts in the bag that aren't mentioned anywhere in any of the instructions.
Normally it would mean you need an app to control the RGB if the motherboard isn’t RGB ready

I was thinking of getting one for a new build where I’m using the o11 dynamic so this is good as some of them are slightly different with rgb software use
I think you missed just a tip for something. "How are the fans and radiator supposed to be attached if the case doesn't allow that sandwich method?" like in one of those NZXT cases with sound-proofing. Not enough space inside the front/top panels for a sandwich but enough for the entire thing inside. How would one go about screwing the fans and radiators onto the case?
The start of the video literally says "This is for demonstration purposes only"
You just made this so damn easy for a noob at installing a water cooler. Thx man!!
i can’t mount the radiator onto the cpu and i’m doing the same exact steps as this video and others. it’s like an inch away from the cpu and i can’t tighten the screws. any help?
Thanks for the video. Much clearer than the docs for installation.
Stupid question, for the 240r , you can install the radiator at the top side of the case instead at the front as shown here?
If the radiator is installed on top of the case and the fans are below the radiator, should the fans have to take air from the outside to the inside of the case or vise versa?
Exactly what I needed! Thanks for this video. I wasn't quite sure how the daisy chaining worked. My MB has 3 ARGB connectors, so this will let me put in a few Lian RGB fans as well.
I would definitely buy this if they have a white version
Just paint it dude!
Simple
@@BHASKAR10761 painting pc parts usually void it's warranty so not gonna do it haha.
Wow it was a very complete video thank you !there should be your video instead of the Quick installation guide in the box !
I had the Fractal Celsius+ S28 Dynamic 280mm cooler for a while. It also has this sub-par method for mounting to AMD. I now have the Deepcool Castle 280EX which uses the 4 thumbscrew method for mounting, which is superior to this MSI or Fractal method of mounting to an AMD motherboard. The Deepcool also has a square cold plate, instead of round one like this or the Fractal.
wish more would give us a 4 screw mounting method
Deepcool have been doing some great stuff lately.
Thank you so much I did not understand the manual and you made this so much easier to understand. ❤❤❤
HELP! I dont have a J-Rainbow/Any 3 pin RGB connectors on my motherboard. I only have 4 Pin RGB pins, what do I do?
Same Problem
Did you figure it out?
Get a rbg hub 5v 3 pin, msi has one
Fantastic help!!!!❤ first time learning about the daisy chains too. Just have to cable manage now but extremely helpful. Thank you!!
Does anyone know what fans the cooler uses so I can match them
60mm fans
The 360 is 3x120mm and the 240 is 2x120mm also
F those mounting brackets so hard. The connecting the top one first tip helped a lot thanks!
you mounted the radiator the wrong way, if u front mount it, u have to have the pipes at the bottom if u can
that is a 50/50% right or wrong answer. 50% will give you a thumbs up and the other 50% will give u a nay and will say tubes have to go from the upperside
@@IiMxMrGeitt why's that?
Seriously, just go and watch Jay's video
@@Daniel.echgoo who's that?

Can you use the noise reducer cable as an extension cable for the pump? Specifically the pump_fan1 connection. My cable doesn’t reach it without.
Your videos are very well thought out and helpful, thanks!
Best guide, especially cable management explanation
best online how to guide, ty from italy
Thanks dude! Put my first aio on today thanks to you.
just installed this today this video really helped especially with the wiring part.
Thanks a lot : ) juste finished installing mine with your help!
Thankyou brother this video helped me alot, successfully installed this aio on b550 msi 😍
On the installation, is it important to have the radiator tubes on top? or bottom?
Top
Glad you made it video thought I was cooked bc I had no installation guide in line 😭
Very disappointed: I changed a Corsair 240mm that at idle kept the temperature at maximum 43 degrees in summer, for this MSI 360mm, and now the idle temperature does not go below 55 degrees, and it is not a matter of poor installation or quality of thermal paste. Besides, the Corsair had it with 4 fans, two on each side of the radiator, the MSI the same, 3 on each side of the radiator, but nothing, in the Corsair the temperature difference between 2 and 4 fans was noticeable, not in the MSI.
For anyone that is considering getting this water cooler DON'T!
They did a horrible design with the pump location being in the radiator and not the CPU Block
which causes air pockets and the pump will run dry and burn out, and make's your CPU run hot until it crashes.
What about the v2 version ?
The RGB plug from the CPU cooler block is a poor fit on the jrainbow2 connector on the motherboard. Almost feels like it's going to fall off...
I would recommend you avoid this cooler at all costs. I am currently sending my second one back to the store. Both my original purchase, of this exact model (the 360R), and my replacement failed with just over a year use of each. The fans still spun, but my CPU hit 100 degrees Celsius, and then thermal throttled from there. Maybe I'm super unlucky, but two exact same coolers failing the exact same way is way too much of a coincidence for me. Won't be purchasing an MSI cooler again.
Had the same experience. First one broke and got another just thinking it's just unfortunate it broke. Then it broke again. Avoid this cooler
1:13 you say that it seems not to be suitable for Threadripper (ie. sWRX8, SP3, or TR4 sockets). I hold the same suspicion.
1. Did you measure the actual sizes?
2. What liquid cooler would you recommend to look for?
What an absolute legend, thank you so much for this video!
Thanks very much, first time having msi, and this made it all clear
thanks for instructions ! 100 % working with RGB Fusion for X570 AORUS MOBO
@Gear Seekers Keeping in mind that in a particular case, you can have either of the two configurations, tubes up and tubes down. which would be the best? That the radiator pump will be the lowest in the circuit, correct??? Sending you a big hug from México!!!
It makes no difference. It's up to you :)
MSI made mounting 200% harder to the point that you are literally scratching your cooling's metal plate.
Cold plates getting scratched is normal
Installing a 240 right now, thanks for this!
hi did your 240r worked ? mines missing 1 female cable
@@jinell14 Yup, mine was complete. Check that the box was unopened, I've had that before from Newegg.
have you had any problems with it so far?
@@sudhhhrhsk4756 none, worked flawlessly
I watch for your videos. I like how you explain things. I have this cooler in the 240r. But, i will be putting it up top. The only thing i would've liked to see is what to watch out for with regards to the position of the hoses. Thanks
This was solid! Loved that there was an FAQ and the tutorial we very in-depth. Subbed!
you installed the fans so they face out but can i install the fans so they are facing inside towards the cpu. if you know what i mean?
At 6:45 you have the two mounting brackets, one has it's screw missing and when you put it on the aio cooler it has a screw. Mine has a screw missing, but quick install guide shows two both with a screw.. am I missing something? Or I'm missing the screw?
At 6:42 the screw is visible, it's a bit hard to notice though because of the camera angle...
Great video Nick. It helped a lot. Appreciate you
Great installation guide fams. very clear instructions
how you fit the front cover after that installation? I have the same phanteks case and this is case is not designed to have the front fans like that bro.
Awesome video much better than manufactures, however you failed to mention installing the fans like you did, does allow the front cover to fit properly on this case (p400a). Also you didn't mention that you removed the front HDD bracket to allow the radiator to fit. Just thought I'd mention this to help others out with this same setup.
