Description
The GIGABYTE GAMING 360 stands as a robust thermal solution designed to handle the intense heat output of modern multi-core processors. Featuring a 403mm aluminum radiator and a high-efficiency copper cold plate, this AIO cooler ensures stable clock speeds during demanding workloads. The inclusion of EZ-Chain fans significantly reduces cable clutter, while the 5-year warranty offers long-term reliability for enthusiast builds.
This product is for:
- PC Builders seeking a clean aesthetic with minimal cable management via daisy-chain fans.
- Gamers utilizing high-end Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 processors that require 360mm thermal dissipation.
- Content creators who need sustained cooling for long rendering sessions without thermal throttling.
- Aesthetic-focused users who want customizable ARGB lighting and a rotatable water block cap.
- Long-term system owners looking for the durability of dual ball bearing fans and FEP tubing.
Detailed specifications:
- Radiator Dimensions: 403 x 120 x 35mm (Aluminum)
- Pump Speed: 4500 RPM (±10%) with Copper Cold Plate
- Fan Configuration: 3 x 120mm ARGB PWM Fans (500-2200 RPM)
- Airflow & Pressure: 61.61 CFM / 2.73 mmH2O
- Bearing Type: Dual Ball Bearing for extended lifespan
- Socket Support: Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200/115X and AMD AM5/AM4
- Tubing: 395mm FEP with Nylon Braided Sleeve
Installing the GAMING 360 is streamlined by the EZ-Chain fan mechanism, which uses a slide-lock system to connect fans without individual cables for each unit. The magnetic water block cap is a standout feature, allowing users to rotate the logo to match any orientation, or even swap the lighting plate for a custom design. In operation, the dual ball bearing fans provide a balance between high static pressure (2.73 mmH2O) and manageable noise levels, peaking at 35.8 dBA under full load.
Compared to standard 240mm liquid coolers, the GAMING 360 offers significantly more surface area for heat exchange, making it better suited for the LGA 1851 and AM5 platforms. Unlike entry-level AIOs that use sleeve bearing fans, GIGABYTE utilizes dual ball bearings which offer superior longevity in vertical orientations. The 4500 RPM pump speed is notably higher than many competitors, ensuring rapid coolant circulation through the FEP tubing.
Q&A:
- Does the GIGABYTE GAMING 360 support the new Intel LGA 1851 socket? Yes, it is fully compatible with Intel 1851, 1700, and 1200 sockets.
- How do the EZ-Chain fans work? They feature a slide-to-lock mechanism and daisy-chain connectors to minimize the number of cables going to the motherboard.
- Can I change the orientation of the logo on the pump? Yes, the magnetic cap can be easily rotated or removed to customize the lighting plate.
- What is the benefit of FEP tubing? FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) tubing has a lower evaporation rate than standard rubber, extending the life of the coolant.
- Is the ARGB lighting compatible with other brands? Yes, the fan and pump lighting use standard ARGB headers compatible with most major motherboard software.
