Installation
We mounted the CPU waterblock on to the MSI Z790 Project Zero motherboard with no issues at all. What I really like about the TITAN 360 RX AIO cooler, is the fact that you only need ONE iCUE LINK cable to power everything up. Prefect.

We then mounted 360 radiator on the top of the Corsair 3500X RGB chassis. No issues here. Everything fitted nicely.
Unlike the Corsair iCUE LINK H150i AIO cooler, the cabling on the TITAN 360 RX AIO cooler is a godsend. There’s no need for a separate fan or RGB controller/hub with a ton of unslightly cables. What you do get, is just ONE iCUE LINK System Hub and one cable connecting the fans and the CPU waterblock. I love it!
Once everything is installed properly and the cables are connected up correctly, just switch on your PC and enjoy your hard work.
If you want to customize the look of your CPU waterblock, just change pump cap the with Corsair’s CapSwap AIO module at any time.
Corsair iCUE Software
The Corsair iCUE software is intuitive and simple to use. You can use it to control the LCD display and synchronize your PC with other iCUE devices, such as RGB cooling fans, keyboards, mice etc. You can also use it to monitor fan and pump speeds, clock frequencies, utilization, temperatures and more.
CORSAIR’s latest iCUE software with Murals enables you to create the ultimate RGB setup that not only fits your style, but can be dynamically changed to match your favorite visuals or digital content. iCUE Murals is easy, intuitive, fun, and the color options are nearly limitless.
Here are some of the things you’re able to do with the iCUE software.
- Virtually Unlimited Customization
- Synchronized Lighting Effects
- Monitor System Temps
- Set Custom Fan Curves
- Create RGB Temperature Alerts
- Command All Your Compatible CORSAIR Devices
- Third-Party Motherboard Support
- Elgato Stream Deck Integration
- Philips Hue and Nanoleaf Smart Lighting Control

Test setup and Testing Methodology
The system used for testing is listed in the table below. Ambient temperatures were kept at 24 degrees Celsius +/- 1 degree. We used the included thermal paste, which I think is more than adequate. The fan speed was set to default. The idle temperatures were recorded after 10 minutes of idle and max temperatures were recorded after a 5 minute torture test using Adia 64 CPU System Stability Test and recording the Cores values and taking the average.
CPU | Intel Core i9-14900K |
Cooling | Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX RGB AIO CPU Liquid Cooler |
Motherboard | MSI Z790 Project Zero |
Cooling Fans | Corsair RX120 RGB (pre-installed) |
Ram | Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5-7200 32GB Memory Kit |
SSD | Lexar NM800 Pro 2TB |
PSU | Corsair RM1000x Shift 1000W |
VGA | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER |
OS | Windows 11 |
Idle Temps
For our tests, we used our Intel Core i9-14900K processor which has default TDP of 125W and is known to run extremely hot. With zero workload, the CPU idle temps was around 36 degrees Celsius. Nothing really to say here.
Load Temps
At 100% CPU load, the CPU temperatures reached a high of 85 degrees Celsius and maximum of 89 degrees Celsius for the CPU package. The E-Cores maxed out at 79 degrees Celsius, while the P-Cores hit between 82 to 89 degrees Celsius,
These temperature reading is by far one of the lowest we’ve seen in a long time. I’m guessing Corsair must have done something really special with the TITAN 360 RX AIO Cooler.
For those who are new to DIY PC building, Intel’s 13th/14th Gen processors tend to run very hot due to its high TDP of of 125W (and up to 253W+ with Turbo Boost). We highly recommend you use a 360 AIO cooler for Intel’s 13th and 14th Gen processors.
Now lets move on to the Conclusion and Verdict!
