Features & Quality – 3.5/5
The build quality and paint finish on the Slim G2 is excellent.
The core design with 16 FPI favours high speed fans which offers great performance for a slim radiator. The High FPI count does however mean that you’ll need to be doing maintenance more frequently – removing all those dust bunnies.
The Slim G2 has just 1 inlet port and 1 outlet port option. There are no protection plates for fan screws.
Summary – Bronze Award & “Value” Award
The Magicool 360 Slim G2 is a traditional radiator design with no bells and whistles. It is well made with an excellent finish and is the cheapest in the roundup. It offers excellent performance for a slim radiator – especially at medium to high fan speeds. It deserves to be on your consideration list if you’re in the market for budget or slim 360mm radiator.
