“With great power comes great responsibility”, of course, I am talking about TDP (Thermal Design Power) of internal computer components like CPU and GPU. I feel like every six months a new CPU arrives on the market and it is faster and offers more Cores than the previous one. But no matter what CPU comes out we still need to be able to properly cool it. Some of us (computer enthusiasts/modders) prefer air cooling but most of us love water cooling our components especially CPUs. SilverStone’s latest CPU cooler PF360-ARGB is an All In One cooling unit that supports the most common Intel and AMD sockets and promises uncompromisable cooling performance. PF360-ARGB features a 360 mm radiator with three ribbed edge fans that provide great max airflow when needed. Both fans and CPU blocks are equipped with Addressable RGB LEDs which could be connected and synced to the capable motherboard.

* Please check to make sure the control box and motherboard RGB port that you want to connect are the same as PF360-ARGB’s RGB port definition. Incorrect connection may cause malfunction or damage.
PF360-ARGB comes in a large box. This is due to the fact that the radiator inside is 360mm in length. The whole package feels massive as there is some weight to it.
