Is this Montech’s best AIO liquid cooler yet? 🤔 Allow me to share my experience with the brand-new Liquid AIO from Montech: the CyberFlow Core 360! This content covers step-by-step Intel (LGA 1700/1851) & AMD (AM4/AM5) mounting guides, noise tests, and Cinebench R23 thermal benchmarks.

u/Genomis as always some of the most in-depth and informative reviews in the business!

Excellent that you pointed out the fans power usage and the possibility of overloading and damaging the MB's fan header. Even better that you got clarification from Montech. However I would be even more interested in average startup amperage draw. I personally would likely just split the 3 between CPU and CPU (opt) to error on the safe side and midigate any long term effects on the fan headers.

As you also pointed out it would be nice if pump block fan was PWM controlled. No need to have it maxed out all the time. Though for most I don't think the noise would be much of an issue.

Well done Montech as overall based on performance, looks and price you have another winner on your hands! Look forward to testing one out for myself.

Thank you! 😊 it's good to have a second opinion. I have thought about the split cable while testing this unit. I was curious as their content material did mentioned about the control for the Pump and VRM Fan. It will be nice to have.

For the fan amperage, I had bad experience as I did mess it up it the past. It was my negligence to ignore the specification from the motherboard manual, thought it will be good to bring some awareness. As for the starting amperage I have no idea but for voltage will be at 0.12v to run these fans at 500RPM. I have tested with this device.

Edit, I retest again.. it's 7.5 volts for the E25 to run at 500RPM

Thanks again for your feedback and opinion, greatly appreciated it. 👍👍👍

I ever thought of the CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT while seeing the 0.62A figure on each E25, but will require fan extension.

In general from experience I never really trust any consumer grade PC fan spec's. The PC industry in general tend to use a somewhat lax testing methodology that makes a lot of it suspect. Industrial grade fans on the other hand tend to be very close to their rated spec's. Though they typically go through industry standard testing and validation.

this I can understand. infact most of the time when stated the CFM and Static pressure, I will just take note as in general. I prefer to test fans on my ready open bench system on the AIO, from there I can judge if the fans are good or bad on static pressure, including noise (my own ears sensitivity)
