What it does

This is a 360mm closed-loop liquid CPU cooler that uses a pump-driven block, tubing, radiator, and three fans to transfer CPU heat away and dissipate it, with ARGB lighting on the fans.

What the key specifications mean

• Fan Speed (500–2000 RPM): Lets the cooler run quiet at idle and ramp up airflow under load, controlled via PWM.
• Fan Noise Level (30.39 dBA): Indicates how audible the fans are at full speed; useful for judging acoustics in a quiet room.
• Pump Speed (3800 RPM) / Pump Noise (20 dBA): Shows the pump runs quietly while circulating coolant at a fixed high speed.
• Radiator Dimensions (394 x 119.6 x 27mm): Determines the case space and fan mounts needed to fit the 360mm radiator.
• Cold Plate Material (Copper): Copper conducts heat well, helping pull heat off the CPU die into the coolant.
• Support MB Form Factor (LGA1700/1851, AM5/AM4): Confirms which CPU sockets this cooler's bracket kit fits.
• Fan Bearing (Rifle Bearing) / Life Expectancy (40,000 hrs): Indicates expected fan durability under continuous use.
• Water Cooling Tube Material (EPDM): EPDM rubber tubing resists degradation over time, supporting long-term reliability.
• Weight (3.63 lbs): Relevant for case mounting strength and radiator bracket support.

Practical benefits

• Handles sustained thermal loads from modern multi-core CPUs
• Keeps noise low during everyday use while allowing higher airflow when needed
• ARGB fans add visual customization to a build
• Wide socket support avoids needing a different cooler on a platform upgrade

Who it suits

• Gamers running demanding titles
• Content creators doing rendering or encoding workloads
• PC builders assembling high-TDP Intel or AMD systems
• Users wanting quieter cooling than stock coolers

Compatibility and installation

• Motherboard must use LGA1700, LGA1851, AM5, or AM4 socket
• Motherboard needs a 4-pin PWM fan header and a 5V ARGB 3-pin header for full fan/lighting control
• Pump needs a 3-pin header and separately a 5V ARGB header for pump lighting
• Case must support mounting a 360mm radiator (394mm length) with three 120mm fans
• Block dimensions of 70.9 x 69.3 x 56.98mm must clear memory and case side panel
• Tubing length is 390mm, limiting mounting position relative to the CPU socket
• Total unit weighs 3.63 lbs, so radiator bracket/case fan mounts should be secure

Important limitations

• No listed support for sockets outside LGA1700/1851 and AM5/AM4
• Specification verification required. for additional software/RGB control details

Package contents

• Thermal paste x 1
• Screws x 12

Buy separately:

• A case with 360mm radiator mounting support
• A compatible motherboard with the required PWM and ARGB headers

Check before you buy

• Confirm your CPU socket matches LGA1700/1851 or AM5/AM4
• Verify your case has clearance for a 394mm x 119.6mm x 27mm radiator and three 120mm fans
• Check your motherboard has a 4-pin PWM fan header and 5V ARGB header available
