Description
The Bitspower CR360 (BPM-WTCR360) redefines liquid cooling aesthetics and functionality by merging a high-capacity 440ml flat reservoir with the powerful Hercules pump. Designed for enthusiasts who demand both performance and a clean build, this unit utilizes a 360mm form factor that aligns perfectly with standard radiator mounts. Its slim profile allows for creative loop configurations in chassis where traditional cylindrical reservoirs might struggle to fit, effectively acting as a universal distribution plate for modern PC builds.
This product is for:
- Custom PC builders looking for a distribution-plate aesthetic without the need for a case-specific design.
- High-performance overclockers requiring the 5.5m head pressure of the Hercules pump for multi-block loops.
- Small Form Factor (SFF) enthusiasts who need to utilize radiator mounting points for reservoir placement.
- Aesthetic-focused modders who want to integrate Bitspower’s optional lighting modules for a vibrant internal display.
- Professional workstation users seeking a reliable, PWM-controlled cooling solution with a 15,000-hour lifespan.

Installing the CR360 is remarkably straightforward due to its radiator-style mounting footprint. Unlike traditional reservoirs that require drilling or specialized brackets, the CR360 bolts directly into any 360mm fan slot. The integrated Hercules pump provides a significant performance boost, easily pushing coolant through dense radiators and multiple GPU blocks without a drop in flow rate. The flat design not only saves depth but also acts as a visual centerpiece, especially when paired with Bitspower’s optional LED modules to illuminate the coolant path.
Compared to standard cylindrical reservoirs like the Bitspower Water Tank Z-Multi series, the CR360 offers a more compact depth profile and easier mounting in modern "aquarium" style cases. While traditional D5 pumps are the industry standard, the Hercules pump included here provides comparable head pressure (5.5m) in a more integrated, space-saving package. It serves as a versatile alternative to full-sized distribution plates, offering similar visual appeal at a more accessible price point and with broader case compatibility.
Q&A:
- Can the Bitspower CR360 be mounted horizontally? Yes, the flat design and radiator-style mounting allow for both vertical and horizontal installation, provided the pump remains fed with coolant.
- What is the benefit of the Hercules pump over standard pumps? The Hercules pump offers a high 5.5m head pressure and PWM control, making it ideal for complex loops with high flow resistance.
- Does this reservoir include RGB lighting? The CR360 is designed to support Bitspower lighting modules, allowing users to add customizable illumination to their liquid cooling setup.
- How much coolant does the CR360 hold? It has a total capacity of 440ml, providing a significant thermal buffer for your cooling system.
- Is the mounting hardware included? Yes, the package includes two sets of mounting brackets (fixed and elevated) along with the necessary screws for installation.
