I. Introduction
High-end 360 water-cooled heat dissipation, in addition to the pursuit of lighting effects, appearance, but also the pursuit of the ultimate functionality, the appearance of the like left behind, consider the mute and the like, this is MSI's God of War S360 water cooling.
This water-cooled is very interesting, its cold drain heat dissipation is all black color, and there is no lighting effect design. However, in terms of muting, this fan has made sufficient efforts to ensure the air volume and wind pressure at the same time, but also to effectively suppress the wind noise and vibration of the fan, while supporting the fan start-stop mode, when the processor temperature is low, directly stop the cold exhaust fan, further reduce the noise, very interesting.
In addition, this water-cooled water-cooled head is also equipped with a LIQUID CRYSTAL screen, which can display a lot of content and play a variety of ways. At the same time, there is a fan under the screen as standard, which blows down, which can take care of the power supply module near the processor and memory heat dissipation to ensure stable operation. It is not an exaggeration to say that this water-cooled pursuit is functional, heat dissipation, silence and grasping with both hands, and both hands are very hard.

V. MSI God of War S360 integrated water-cooled radiator test
1. APP control
▼ This water-cooled head supports software control, and the content that can be set is very rich. The screen at the top of the display can display hardware parameters, including temperature, frequency, liquid temperature, hardware parameters, etc., up to 5 parameters can be selected, and the cycle is displayed.
▼ In addition, you can also select pictures, including fixed pictures and GIFs.
▼ The display effect is still very good, very fine, completely invisible pixels.
▼ In addition, I support GIFs, and the effect of ANIMATed pictures is still very smooth.
▼ The screen of the water cooling head can also display text, and when displaying text, you can use pictures and GIF backgrounds.
▼The display effect of the text is very interesting, and you can also set the color, font, etc.
▼ The screen of the water cooling head can also display the system clock, which feels more common.
▼However, the display clarity of this time is very good, the numbers are large, and there are many styles.
▼ The most interesting thing is that this water cooling can show the weather, which is very practical.
▼ The weather display is very interesting, a large sun on the left, a Sunny above, and room temperature below. And this weather display is very accurate, directly synchronized according to the positioning.
▼ The fan and pump of the water cooling head have a variety of operating modes to choose from, and there are four modes of quiet, balanced, gaming and customization by default.
▼ Among them, the custom mode can be directly customized, and the running curve of the fan, water pump and water cooling head fan can be directly customized. Usually want to set what temperature, what fan speed is very simple, directly pull a few points on the line.
▼ In addition, depending on the installation situation, the screen of the water cooling head supports software rotation, which is very practical.
2. Performance test
▼ The whole machine configuration list, the processor is 12700K, the motherboard is MSI's Z690 Dark Carbon, and the graphics card is Sotec's RTX3050 X-Gaming OC.
▼ Simple run a test, the whole machine score of 170W, of which the processor 85.8W, graphics card 29.3W, the performance of the whole machine is good.
▼ Daily standby situation, room temperature is about 24 ° C, processor standby temperature is about 36 degrees Celsius, core temperature fluctuates up and down at about 30 ° C.
▼ Simple run a CPU-Z pressure test, processor power consumption of about 145W, large core 4.7GHz, small core 3.6GHz, processor temperature 64 °C, core temperature fluctuates around 60 °C, good heat dissipation.
▼ Single-baked FPU test, processor power consumption of about 185W, large core 4.7GHz, small core 3.6GHz, processor temperature at about 78 °C, core temperature fluctuates around 70 °C, the overall heat dissipation situation is good.
▼ Then the test time is extended to 10 minutes, the overall temperature performance is very stable, and the temperature of the silent frequency of 12700K under the single baking FPU condition is controlled below 80 ° C, and the heat dissipation strength is still very strong.
6. Summary
MSI's God of War S360 water cooling is still very good, the performance is very powerful, you can very easily suppress the 12700K, without any problems. In addition, in terms of functionality, this water-cooled water cooling head has a screen at the top that can display many parameters. There is a small fan under the screen that can take care of the heat dissipation of the hardware near the processor, which is very good.
In terms of heat dissipation strength, in the face of 185W 12700K, the core temperature can be easily controlled below 80 °C, and the heat dissipation performance is very strong. And this is only the default situation, the pump and cold exhaust fan speed is not fully loaded. If the speed is fully pulled, the overall temperature performance will be better.
In terms of muting, even in the case of roast chicken, the overall operating noise of water cooling is very small, and there is almost no other noise to hear except the sound of the wind, which is very quiet. In the case of standby, it is even quieter, the cold exhaust fan is directly stopped, and the fan noise is reduced to 0, which is super quiet.
Mushroom is more curious about the two IO interfaces under the cold head screen, whether it supports the installation of other wires, expand some functions, and make this water-cooled gameplay more diverse.
Thank you!
