A bundled pairing of AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X desktop processor — an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 5 chip — with MSI's MAG CoreLiquid A13 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler. Aimed at enthusiast builders who want a capable mid-to-high-end CPU with adequate thermal headroom straight away, without sourcing cooling separately.
Key Features
Ryzen 7 9700X: 8 cores, 16 threads, base clock 3.8GHz, boost up to 5.5GHz
Built on AMD's Zen 5 architecture with improved IPC over Zen 4
65W TDP rating, though performance mode can push power draw higher
MSI MAG CoreLiquid A13 cooler uses a 360mm radiator with three 120mm ARGB fans
Cooler supports LGA 1700, LGA 1851 (Intel), AM4, and AM5 sockets — broad compatibility
Pump head features a rotating LCD display panel for temperature or custom image readout
Our Verdict
A solid pairing for an enthusiast gamer or content creator building an AM5 system who wants reliable cooling included. However, UK buyers should think carefully — the Micro Center bundle origin complicates warranty and import logistics significantly. Those based in the UK are better served sourcing both components separately from domestic retailers.
