365W6Retailer pagescan.co.uk/products/thermaltake-th360-v3-ultra-argb-aio-hydro-cpu-cooler-black-3-x-120mm-argb-fans-lcd-segment-display-iRead 15 October 2026Cooler specification: Max. TDP 365W. The maker's pages print no TDP and no other source for this exact model contradicts it. The same retailer prints 365W for the TH360-S V3 too. The weight and tube length fields on the page are blank.

Base materialiThe surface that touches the CPU: the heatsink base or the AIO cold plate. Plating counts, so nickel-plated copper is not copper. Direct-touch heat pipes are the contact surface, so they count as copper unless plating is stated. The direct-contact heat pipes field records the design.

Copper5Reviewtech4gamers.com/lian-li-hydroshift-ii-lcd-s-360tl-reviewRead 14 October 2026The review is of the 360 TL, not this model. It states the pump directs the coolant to a copper plate with skived fins, and shows the copper cold plate. The maker's specification table lists one pump and water block for all three models, so the cold plate is the same part. Lian Li's own page does not name the cold plate material.

Compatibility

1 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.

AM5, AM4, LGA1851, LGA17001Maker product pagelian-li.com/product/hydroshift-ii-lcd-sRead 14 October 2026Specification table: Intel LGA1700 and LGA1851, AMD AM4 and AM5. The page lists no LGA1954.

The page does not list LGA1954, which the installation guide names (see the manual entry). The family 115X is written as LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155 and LGA1156 as the page names 1156, 1155, 1151 and 1150.2Maker product pagethermaltake.com/th360-v3-ultra-argb-sync-aio-liquid-cooler.htmlRead 15 October 2026The same socket list as the US page.3Owner's manualfile.thermaltake.com/file/qig/TH360_V3_Ultra_ARGB_Sync_manual.pdfRead 15 October 2026The Intel guide step 1 labels the bracket positions 1200/115X, 1954/1851 and 1366, and step 2 and 4 name 1954/1851/1700/1366/1200/115X with the same bracket and nuts. LGA2066/2011-3/2011 use the screws in step 4. LGA1954 needs no extra kit, so it is stored. The maker's spec table does not list it.

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.

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.

Source10Reviewpcgamer.com/hardware/cooling/thermaltake-th360-v3-ultra-argb-sync-reviewRead 15 October 2026PC Gamer, Zak Storey, 2 April 2026. Delta over ambient for the CPU package temperature with a Core i7-14700K, shown as maximum and average values in charts. The chart ambient temperature for this cooler is 26 C. The review does not state the fan speed, case or open bench, or thermal paste. Cinebench R23 multi-core ran for 10 minutes, once at stock and once with the 14700K at 120 W for PL1 and PL2. The review gives the 120 W as a set limit, so no CPU power is stored.11Reviewfunkykit.com/reviews/cooling/thermaltake-th360-v3-ultra-argb-sync-aio-liquid-cooler-review/5Read 15 October 2026Funky Kit, Eddie Chim, review of 20 February 2026. Ryzen 7 9700X on an MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi, ambient 24 C plus or minus 1, fan speed at default, included thermal paste, 5 minute AIDA64 CPU System Stability Test. The review says the CPU package reached a high of 50 C and a maximum of 51 C, and 51 is stored. The case or bench is not stated and the review prints no noise or CPU power.
