Compatibility

0 of 3 differ

CPU socketsiSockets the maker lists as supported in its spec table, compatibility list or guide, written as cpu_socket writes them, e.g. AM5 or LGA1851. List each socket on its own, so LGA115x becomes LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155 and LGA1156. When the maker names the sockets of such a family, list only the ones it names. A socket that needs a separately sold or requested mounting kit is left out. A new socket that the maker lists with no extra kit counts. LGA2011-v3 and 2011(V3) are written LGA2011-3. Threadripper sockets use AMD's names, so TR4 is written sTR4 and TR5 is written sTR5. sTRX4 and sWRX8 are sockets of their own.

RAM height clearanceiAir coolers only. The tallest memory module that fits under the cooler with all included fans in their standard position. When the maker gives different values per socket, store the lowest and name the others in the source note. A heatsink that does not reach over the memory slots has no height limit, so the field is left out and the maker's statement goes in the source note.

3-pin fan header1Maker product pageidcooling.com/product/detailRead 15 October 2026The page for this model lists the pump connector as 3-pin (old version) and 4-pin PWM (new version), both versions available. The White page lists 3Pin, and KitGuru found the pump on its unit is 3-pin voltage control. The 3-pin plug is stored. A newer 4-pin PWM pump may exist.2Maker product pageidcooling.com/product/detailRead 15 October 2026Pump Connector: 3Pin.6Reviewkitguru.net/components/cooling/james-dawson/id-cooling-fx360-inf-aio-cpu-cooler-review/all/1Read 15 October 2026Specification block: Pump Connector 3-pin.

Fans

1 of 2 differ

Included fansiFans in the box that cool the heatsink or radiator, one row per fan model. A VRM fan on the pump block is left out. Speed, airflow, pressure and noise are the maker's figures for one fan at full speed, in the fastest mode and without a low-noise adapter. When a range is published, the top of the range is stored. Count is the number of rotors, so a unified frame with three 120 mm rotors counts 3 with size 120. Min speed is the lowest speed while spinning. A zero RPM stop is not stored. FDB and S-FDB are fluid dynamic. HDB is hydrodynamic. Cooler Master's Loop Dynamic Bearing is loop dynamic. If the maker gives airflow only in m³/h, convert with 1 m³/h = 0.5886 CFM, round to one decimal and say so in the source note. Connector is the fan's power lead. A separate lighting lead is not counted, and a maker cable or adapter in the box that ends in a 4-pin PWM plug counts as 4-pin PWM, even when the fan's own lead is proprietary. For an air cooler with one fan, the maker's noise figure for the cooler is the fan noise. A figure the maker does not label per fan or in total counts as per fan. When a maker table prints noise for the whole cooler with no per-fan label and the maker's own data sheet for the same fan gives a figure, the fan data sheet figure is stored.

Thermal tests (measured)iReviewer results, one row per test condition. Rows compare only when the test CPU, load, power and noise level match. The source note names the reviewer, ambient temperature, case or open bench, and thermal paste. Test CPU is the CPU name only, such as AMD Ryzen 9 7900X. The power limit and mode go in the load. Above ambient is stored only when the reviewer publishes it, never computed from the ambient.

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.

Source5Reviewtomshardware.com/pc-components/liquid-cooling/nzxt-kraken-elite-360-rgb-reviewRead 14 October 2026Tom's Hardware, Albert Thomas, review of 10 November 2024. Intel Core i7-14700K on an MSI Z790 Project Zero board in an MSI Pano 100L PZ case, 23 C ambient, system fans Iceberg Thermal IceGale Silent, Thermalright LGA1700 contact frame. Noise is the whole system measured at 81.5 cm (32 in), and its floor is the 38.2 dBA idle system noise. Paste is not stated. Values read from the chart images: 244 W cooled with power limits removed in silent mode, 257 W cooled at 38.9 dBA, 90 C and 47.7 dBA with the fans tied to CPU temperature, 75 C at 38.2 dBA by default and 69 C at 40.9 dBA tied to CPU in the 165 W CPU plus 275 W GPU test, and 56 C in the 110 W CPU plus 275 W GPU test with the mode and noise not stated. The default mode follows coolant temperature (43 C liquid).

WeightiAn air cooler with its included fans. An AIO cooler as one unit with pump block, tubes, radiator and fans. Mounting hardware is left out when the maker states it separately. When one maker figure may include the mounting kit, such as a press release net weight above the product page figure, the product page figure is stored. An RGB edition can weigh a little more or less, so it is per variant.

Manufacturer warranty (source market)iThe maker's warranty period for the exact SKU or configuration and market named in the source note. It applies only to that stated market, not every regional variant. Statutory consumer rights are excluded. The base term is stored. An extension that needs registration goes in the source note.
