MSI's liquid cooling lineup was expanded at Computex 2025 with a range of new mainstream and high-end AIO coolers. The company currently offers its AIO lineup in three segments: the premium MEG series, the mainstream MPG series, and the budget-tier MAG series. Today, we will be looking at their newest mainstream offering, the MPG Coreliquid P13, which comes in a 360mm option.

MSI MPG Coreliquid P13 360mm AIO Liquid Cooler - Technical Details

So starting off with the specifications first, the MSI MPG Coreliquid P13 360mm AIO cooler comes with a 360mm radiator and is compatible with both Intel and AMD platforms, including the latest LGA 1700/1851 and AM5/AM4 CPU solutions.

The AIO cooler comes in both white and black colors, with our sample featuring a matte white finish, which would look great in a white PC build.

The 360mm radiator comes in a white color scheme, which looks great and features aluminum fins while measuring 394 x 119.6 x 27.2 mm.

MSI is using a high thermal dissipation design on the P13's radiator, which features 12 widened water-channels, which help increase water flow by 25% while maintaining a thickness of 27mm. There are 20 fins per inch, providing more surface area for heat dissipation.

The radiator comes with three 120mm CycloBlade 9 fans, which feature a hybrid blade design to improve airflow and offer high static pressure. These fans feature a Rifle-Bearing design underneath the assembly.

Each fan has a 4-pin PWM connector & offers a maximum of 64.898 CFM airflow while running between 500-2050 RPM (28.7 dBA). These fans have a static pressure of 2.59 mm-H2O. Both fans feature ARGB Lightning and look great.

Moving over to the CPU water block, we have a full-plate and screwless copper base which eliminates the traditional screw perforation design, offering significantly better water-tightness and ensuring reliable system operation. The block features a 0.1mm micro-channel design, which dissipates heat in an efficient manner. The pump operates at 2600-3400 RPM and has a maximum noise output of 20 dBA.

The top of the MSI MPG Coreliquid P13 series liquid coolers comes with a rounded glass surface. This houses the 2.1" LCD, which can display real-time statistics such as CPU clock, fan speed, temps & can even be customized using the MSI Center app. The display features a 480x480 resolution & 600 nits brightness.

The cooler also comes with an EZ CAP, which is installed around the base of the CPU waterblock, ensuring a smooth, cohesive look that eliminates clutter.

Additionally, MSI has all the cables routed through the sleeved tubing, providing neater cable management.

As for the tubes themselves, the MPG Coreliquid P13 comes with nylon-braided EPDM water cooling tubes, which are evaporation-proof, offering high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, stronger flexibility, and anti-aging properties. So you won't see the tubing deteriorate over time, as is the case with other white-colored tubes.

The new EZ Conn-design makes for a seamless connection between the three PWM-controlled fans, and the cable can be easily connected to a single-connector using the JAF connector on MSI and non-MSI motherboards.

MSI MPG Coreliquid P13 360mm AIO Liquid Cooler - Cooler Performance

For testing the performance, we used the AORUS X670E Xtreme motherboard paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU, 32 GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB memory (DDR5-6800 EXPO), and a ROG THOR II 1000W PSU. The chassis used was a Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL, which allowed us to mount the radiator on the top since the front is a mirror panel.
