Source5Reviewtomshardware.com/pc-components/liquid-cooling/id-cooling-fx360-inf-review/2Read 15 October 2026Tom's Hardware, Albert Thomas, 2024-11-08. Intel Core i7-14700K on an MSI Z790 Project Zero in an MSI Pano 100L PZ Black, ambient held at 23 C, a Thermalright LGA1700 contact frame installed, closed case, not an open bench. The included Frost X45 paste is used in the installation steps, and the paste for the test is not stated separately. Row 1: with no power limit the CPU hits its temperature limit, and the average CPU package power sustained was 259 W, with noise up to 44.4 dBA at full fan speed. No temperature is published for it. Row 2: 165 W CPU plus the Radeon RX 7900 GRE at 275 W, average CPU temperature 71 C, and 40.9 dBA on the motherboard default fan curve. Row 3: 110 W CPU plus the same GPU load, average CPU temperature 58 C, no noise figure. The noise-normalized 38.9 dBA test and the 120 W Cinebench noise (38.2 dBA, the idle noise of the system) are not stored, since the page text for the first names another cooler's result. The noise meter distance is not stated.6Reviewkitguru.net/components/cooling/james-dawson/id-cooling-fx360-inf-aio-cpu-cooler-review/all/1Read 15 October 2026KitGuru review of 2025-05-12, Ryzen 9 9950X on an ASRock X870E Nova WiFi, open test bench, Arctic MX-6 paste, ambient 19-21 C and deducted in the charts. Each run is a 30 minute looped Cinebench R23, with the final 10 minutes averaged. Manual overclock 5.2 GHz all-core at 1.3 V. At maximum fan speed (just over 1800 rpm) the noise was 43 dB and the average load temperature 64 C. Normalized to 40 dBA the average was 66 C over ambient, and the fans slowed only about 200 rpm. The charts show deltas, so both are read as over ambient. The CPU power is not published. The PBO test gives only a clock multiplier (52.1x), so no row is stored for it. The noise distance is not stated.
