Thermaltake TH360 V2 Ultra EX ARGB Sync AIO Liquid Cooler – Snow Edition Review

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.

Idle Temps

For our tests, we used our Intel Core i9-13900K processor which has default TDP of 125W and is known to run extremely hot. With zero workload, the CPU idle temps was around 38 degrees Celsius, which is what we expected, so not much say here.

Load Temps

At 100% CPU load, the CPU temperatures reached a high of 99 degrees Celsius. The E-Cores maxed out at 100 degrees Celsius, while the P-Cores hit between 97 to 100 degrees Celsius. Am I surprised to see such hgh temperatures … No. That’s because we know that 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).

These temperature readings may look a little concerning, but surprisingly our system didn’t crash at all and was pretty stable. At full load, the 3 x CT120 EX ARGB Sync fans was maxed out at 2,000 rpm. If these fans could go up to 3,000 rpm with a higher airflow of more than it’s current 68 CFM … then I think this could help reduce the full load temperatures.

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!
