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.

Intel Core i7-14700K on an MSI Z790 Project Zero in an MSI Pano 100L PZ Black case with Iceberg Thermal IceGale Silent system fans. Intel Core Ultra 9 285K on an MSI Z890 Carbon WiFi in an MSI MPG Gungnir 300R with its pre-installed case fans. A Thermalright LGA1700 contact frame is fitted on the 14700K system, the included thermal paste is used and ambient is not stated on this page. Noise is read with a sound meter, distance not stated. Rows: 14700K without a power limit throttles at TJ Max, so the reviewer records the package power the cooler held (259 W, the spec table says over 259 W). 14700K noise normalized to 38.9 dBA, 249 W. 14700K with a 120 W load, 38.2 dBA for both A13 sizes. Core Ultra 9 285K Cinebench with no power limit, average CPU temperature 95 C, CPU power not stated. 285K with 135 W CPU and 290 W GPU, 40.9 dBA for the 360 mm. The reviewer's 253 W, 165 W + 275 W and 85 W + 290 W results are in chart images or give one temperature for two cooler sizes, so they are not stored.4Reviewclub386.com/msi-mag-coreliquid-a13-360-reviewRead 15 October 2026Damien Mason, review of 2025-07-08. Intel Core i9-13900K on the Club386 test bench, Cinebench multi-core held as a sustained load, fans locked to 600 rpm, 1,200 rpm and the maximum of 2,000 rpm. The table gives temperatures at 253 W and at 153 W, in degrees Celsius. The review gives no ambient temperature, case or paste. Noise at 600 rpm is printed as <30.2 dBA, a reading limit, so it is not stored. Noise at 1,200 rpm is 34.3 dBA and at the maximum 50.4 dBA, with the meter distance not stated. The noise belongs to the fan speed, so it is repeated in the 253 W and 153 W rows.
