Before commenting check out the CM ARGB Setup and Install Guide if you have having problems: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sVkxpmGcmd4.html The case is the Cooler Master MB500 TUF Edition. Yes the front panel fits on it perfectly. We just wanted to show you how the fans looked!

Hey Gearseekers ! I did buy one of these coolers recently, as I wanted to replace my 120mm AIO that I had been using for almost 4 years. I was 99.9% close to getting the H100i Pro because i am a big fan of Corsair - however I found your review on the upcoming ML360r and I immediately bought this from Mwave. With your permission - i'll post my results for my temps below :) Needless to say, I am very impressed. My results are as as follows :- i7 5820k on Gigabyte Gaming 5 X99 board.

I've been looking for a full install video since every skips the hub wiring part. Thank you for this.

Marvelous guide. Skips a connection or 2 but very easy to follow when paying attention.

was strugling with my installation and after countless searching your video had clear enough instructions for me to find out where i didnt connect something thank you

Thank you so, so, so much! Just done the hard wear installation and sat in front of a load of cables and tech instructions. Then I thought to Utube for help and you popped up! Great clear simple concise instructions that have made this job easy. In addition, fantastic informal presentation skills. I will definitely subscribe and improve my knowledge with your support.

It's like every possible video I need you seem to coverage for it. What a lad!

I just got this cooler, haven't installed it since I am waiting on another new case to arrive this Tuesday. I plan on making a video about the cooler, and new upgrades. Good video my man, keep up the good work.

i was allways scared to buy a water cooler for a cpu because i never researched, but now man i´m gonna buy a new cpu with this cooler thanks man really appreciate this video

I almost never comment. I am halfway through the install and I just wanna say. Ill be looking at your channel for all things. Love the commentary

I got this cooler and love it, in the same well i got the none TUF version case, but this cooler is keeping my 8700k at 5ghz cool

I've been waiting for this! 😍 Havent even watched it but I know it'll be good! Edit: After watching the video it's safe to say that the best part was the rainbow unicorn spew :')

This is the only RU-vid video I understand. I bought this CM ML360R for my ASUS Rampage V Extreme, CPU is i7-5960X, 64GB RaM (likely will max to 128GB) on 1080 x 3 SLi GPU setup, all going in a full tower CM Cosmos case. Thank you so much my friend! Well done!

I usually don’t comment like this, but thank you a lot, with your video I was able to properly get my AIO installed on my case and motherboard. Thank you!

I wish I could like twice this video, saved me a headache connecting everything. TYVM

Very beautiful cooler and nice build man !

I have watched a lot of PC build videos, and this was the most details I have seen. This answered a lot of my questions, thanks. Just hoping I can figure it out, as I have one on order. My case also is supposed to sync, so it will be interesting to know if I can make all that work together

Thank you so much for this! I got a liquid cooler as part of my attempted repair project. May as well rebuild the whole thing by this point and was wondering how exactly to mount the radiator and fans.

Hey I have a Coolermaster Masterliquid ML240R and I went with the Thermaltake H200 Cabinet so wanted to know how should I mount my RAD for better airflow? On the top or front? I have an ATX motherboard.

Thanks bro, super helpful and easy to follow instructions. As a PC building noob, there's no way I can possibly fuck this up. Cheers

it must be because my question on another video earlier.. lmao.. Thanks mannnn.. help me alot

thanks dude, it was really helpful

ty so much for helping with these wires

I’m having an issue installing the aio pump fan to my motherboard it doesn’t fit I have the msi meg ace z390 any advice?

Insanely informative man... 👀

Little fast but great video I'm getting my CPU cooler next week so excited def will return to get it going .

thx alot, i had a headache tpday trying to figure this shit out 🤣

I FOUND THE ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE ONE VIDEO THAT SAVED MY LIFE omg this f*kn cooler master was complicated as hellllllllllllllllllllllll, It's too late I think, but thank you so much buddy. Nice job

Thank you for the video because the Cooler Master guide can be confusing.

Great vid. Quick question. I want to plug in 4 other CM fans I have to be controlled by the controller. Any suggestions? Will I need a PWM splitter?

Your videos are great man! Good job!

nice video, but you didn't ever mention how to connect the argb controller to the asus mobo, there's a 3 pin connection and 2, 4 pin. How do I connect the 4 pin from my prime x470 to this controller? thx

Where did you put the RGB header cable that you put in the motherboard?

Great Video :) Subbed

I’m blessed that we have the same case

I plan on using the ML360R without the included fans, but I still want the pump's RGB to sync with aura. Do I skip the included controller completely and simply connect the pump's addressable rgb header to my mobo's addressable rgb header in some way?

What if the motherboard does not support RGB, can I run this cooler with my RGP or not?

Hey Nick love your vids. But these aren’t Aura Sync as it show at the beginning of the video, it’s not syncing with the Ram. Most Asus motherboards have 4pin RGB headers were the cooler Master have 3pins on there AIO’s = no sync. If I’m wrong can you show us please. Just one question I have the pump connected to the pump header on the strix z270f. Do these pumps run at 100% speed 2400rpm. Is there a way to adjust the speed. Or are they designed to run at 100%? Thanks

thank you so much for the video

Thanks for your video 📸 save me a lot of time

Im getting this one and a 280mm aio by corsair for the same price ...which one would u think will help me keep the temps of my cpu cooler when over clocked to 4.6-4.9ghz !!

Do I need to use the included controller or just connect the argb splitter directly to the argb header?

which one did you end up liking the most the thermaltake floe 360 or the coolermaster ML360R ? cant decide which one

How do you install this in a case that also has RGB support and where the reset switch connects to a built in controller? Example, Thermaltake View 37 ARGB

i found that when you put plastic clips on the backplate at the furthest out setting (2011 i think), put the backplate in place, then tighten the retainer thingies, it makes it alot easier to get the backplate on the motherboard.

More of a question that a comment. What is the benefit or putting the fans on the outside of the case as this display vs. the inside? My quick guess is whether I am pushing the fan or if I am pulling hot air from the case. I have the Thermaltake V200 TG.

do you have to plug in the reset button wire to the motherboard and the controller? can i not use this cable at all and just connect it with the addressable rbg cable to control it will aura sync on the motherboard???

can you mount this like the computer in the background at 49 seconds in? also, will i have to completely remove the motherboard in my system to install this?

Been building pc's for 20 years, this was one of the more difficult parts i have come accros in the past years hehehe

Having fun while watching

Hey I have the Cooler Master MCB-B530P how do you get the button at the front of the case that controls rgb to work with the controller... sorta like being able to control the rgb via the case rgb and the controller.. on this case the controller replaces the reset switch

do you have a vid for how to do this on the rog b550-f gaming motherboards? also my cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R came with none of that mass of cable mess yours did.

I have my aio plugged in to my mb and I have the arg header hooked up to the mb I hear no noise from the aio nor does it light up, what is wrong?

Hi Gearseekers, my cooler is "mastercooler ML360R RGB" on a "Z490 motherboard", when I turn my pc case on (because I build everything inside and plugged all the cables) the fans would turn on in the ml360r but the rbg colors wont, would the plugs be wrong? the light flickers for a split second when I turn in on, but thats it, one flicker.

I got this cooler, connected all the cables and everything I installed it on the top on my cooler master td500 mesh case and I’m averaging around 75-75 degrees Celsius which is very hot, I don’t know what to do because the fans and the block turn on but I’m getting very high degrees on my cpu, I’ve peeled off the plastic on the block and also applied enough thermal paste. I’m using an amd ryzen 7 3700x

Hey i have v200 what kind of cooler should i buy for it and where should i put it up or front And can i use cooler with 3 fans or 2

Hey I have a first/new build and curious if this will light up as soon as power gets plugged in like the motherboard? Having front panel/power button issues but everything is lighting up inside except the fans. No error lights etc. Thanks for the vid either way though.

thanks, hello from france

Great video. Wondering how to connect the ML360 AIO ARGB to the H500M ARGB?

Two questions... #1 What is the Mirage effect & extension for? I you didn't connect that at all. Secondly, did you have to place the controller up high to get the back fan to light? The RGB cable is literally so short I can't route it out the top and be anywhere close. Debated getting a rgb extension cable or double side tape the unit higher since the MOBO back plate isn't magnetic -_-

Hell there, I am buying a Gigabyte Aorus z370 Gaming 5 motherborad and since the board already has more than enough fan and rgb headers can I route all the fan, rgb and pump controls directly to my motherboard rather than using the Cooler Master control box that's provided?

Hi! Does the RGB Controller support up to how many fans in case of adding the part? I was thinking of 12 in total, being 3 of the watercooler with the additional 9? My case is a Redragon Ironhide!

Hello Thanks for the nice video I would need to help and know more about connecting the reset cable that comes with the cooling to the motherboard and to the chassis, because I just bought the same cooler and my computer case is called thermaltake p90 an i have Asus Z97-A motherboard

Recently I've wanted to buy a new keyboard, the CM CK530. I wanted to ask you do you recommend it... And one more question, if you recommend it, I installed the Master Plus program, but it's black and on the left side there some text that I can't read because it's on half. Is it because I don't have anything from Coller Master or is it a problem with the app?

I can’t seem to fit the ML240R into the top part of the Fractal Design Focus G case. Please help

The last step you said I need to connect the Sata Power Connector to the controller but I do not know which one to use because I have 2 Sata Power Connectors

I ordered just the fans for this, but not the aio. How would I go about getting an ARGB splitter?

old article.. thanks for showing how the RGB and CPU bits install but you missed out on one of the critical bits - do the hoses go to the 'top' of the case of the bottom?

Hello! I have a kolink observatory cass and wonder if i can Mount this cooler on the top bcs there is a spot for it there! Thanks again

if i only have one cpu fan header and no pump header will i want to use a splitter and plug all the fans and the pump in to the cpu fan header

i have a question about the exhaust fan where do u connect that?

I have two questions coming from a noobie (me). You put your fans on the outside and the radiator on the inside does matter if you do it the other way around? And do you think i can change the fans by other fans i find more aesthetically pleasing?

How many extra case cooling fan can use??? with useing the fan controller of this cup cooler

My motherboard only has a CPU fan connector not an AIO pump connector... will this be an issue?

Thanks for showing me how to solve the rubik's cube bro, ill just buy the corsair h115i platinum

Not sure what I’ve done wrong, but trying to align the bottom of the screws with the heatsink brackets (1151 ones, same as my mobo) attached to the cooler just pushes the screws and backplate off, and they don’t meet all four screws at once. Anyone have advice?

7:47 where did you end up plugging this in? Argb on mobo or argb on the hub. Thanks

I already know how to install one, but watched anyway 👌 Awesome video as always. And damn that’s a nice cooler, just shame can’t get it with a 420mm rad :/

Ir i Want to make a pull push system.... its okay to split the cpu fan conecter into 6 fans ? Or its not recomendem

Hey there, I've just found your channel watching a review of the Phanteks Evolv Shift and I am absolutly in love with this build and the way you make videos. Can I find you on SoundCloud or any other platform? I REALLY need to hear this Intro/Outro Track in full length. Keep it up man!

Could you tell me how to remove one like this i recently bought a intel prebuilt pc & im trying to replace i the aio stock cooler with a nzxt and i need to replace the bracket any tips or ideas on where to start?

i am wondering i have the cooler master mb530p case which doesnt have a reset switch but a rgb control button instead. Can i plug that rgb control button from the case into the controller?

Hello I have b450 msi tomahawk max and a cooler master ML120R RGB. All of my cable are connected, I can control the RGB using master plus but what I want to do is I want to control all the RGB lightings using msi dragon center. When I tried to switch off the control of the ML12R RGB and switch the control to the motherboard, the msi dragon center mystic light couldn't detect anything. I can only control the rgb of RAM and motherboard lightings using the mystic light but not Cooler master ML120R RGB.

Hey I have got an Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard which on pc part picker said was compatible with this watercoolers but I don't aapear to have a USB 2 port. Is it possible to use it without this?

What if you’re not using the controller? My case doesn’t have a reset sw. how do I go about it?

I have x2 argb headers on the MOB , so i do not need sata power, reset switch, or usb connection right ?

Yeah my Fans on the Radiator spin loud or it the Pump at like 2400rpm stupid loud i tried changing it within the bios span speeds do no go down my Ryzen 3700x is at 4.4ghz OC and is at 41C. What am i doing wrong, MotherBoard X470 Hero VII

So I had set up everything , the rgb is fine and I thought I wired everything correctly but when i boot up to bios it’s says my CPU’s running at 90/89 even tho everything’s hooked up correctly. Could it be because I’m not using the radiator fans that came with it ? Because i bought different fans that I preferred

I have a ROG crosshair VI. The board has 12v rgb headers. I know ARGB uses 5V headers. Can I plug the controller into the 12v header? It looks like you plug it into a 4 pin header on that TUF board. Is that 12 v or 5v?

i got a question, if a case supports 3 120mm case fans on the front, could it also support a 360 rad?

Will Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R RGB fit in LianLi Alpha 550 top?

Yea I have a question, I have an older system (x79/2011 socket) I got everything installed (by reading the manual for like 5mins for each step since this thing has SOOO many cables

Hey guys so I'm new to building pc's and have just got this liquid cooler to go along with my ryzen 5 3600 CPU. Wondering if I should use a different thermal paste than the one provided? and in the video all the different screws and plugs: Do they come with the box or do I need to go buy them? If it's the same plugging into my MSI gaming pro carbon motherboard. Thanks!

How can I make the fans light up like that lol?. Ive tried everything and nothing i guess i need some extra cable or so because i cant see my coolers on any RGB software controller.

I assume that it is the same with an am4 install just the other brackets?

what fans do you use , is it the 1's that comes with the case or the 1 the comes with the 360 AIO or can i use both

How do you add 2x SF360R and 1xSF120R to the connectorbox so all fans have the same RGB?

Awesome job thx man.

Hi nice video I don’t have dedicated argb header on my motherboard ( Asus z97 -a) Is it necessary to connect to argb header?

Can i still use mytic light with this type of AIO? my mobo btw does not include jrgb slot.
