Today, we will be taking a look at the Thermaltake TOUGHLIQUID Ultra 360 All-In-One Liquid Cooler. The TOUGHLIQUID Ultra 360 features a large 2.1-inch customizable LCD displays covering the CPU water block. It’s compatible for both Intel and AMD processors, and comes with 3 x TOUGHFAN 12 Turbo fans for the radiators. They’re powerful, high static pressure fans, with a max speed of 2500 RPM giving you maximum heat dissipation.
Using the downloadable TT RGB Plus 2.0 software, you can monitor the frequency and real-time temperatures directly from large LCD displays, and you can also upload any images or GIFs to give you that extra flair.
A lot of people have been asking me … does an AIO offer better cooling performance over an air cooler? Ater testing so many CPU coolers over the years, I have to say … yes it does offer better cooling performance, albeit moderately better. And is it worth it? Well, AIO coolers does cost a lot more than air coolers for sure. For me, AIO coolers are great for beginners and offer a path to full custom loop watercooling. Besides, with a 240mm or 360mm radiator, you’ll can get some really fancy RGB cooling fans to give your system that unique look and wow factor!
We’ve already reviewed the Floe RC Ultra 240 CPU & Memory AIO Liquid Cooler and the ToughLiquid Ultra 240 AIO CPU Cooler, which features a 240mm radiator. Both AIO coolers offered good cooling performance and both come with 2.1-inch LCD displays. It will be interesting to see if an AIO cooler with a 360 radiator will make a difference or not.

We’ll be testing the Thermaltake TOUGHLIQUID Ultra 360 AIO Cooler with AMD’s latest Ryzen 9 7900X processor (which has a TDP of 170W), mounted on ASRock’s newest X670E Taichi (AM5) motherboard. We’ll also be using some TOUGHRAM XG RGB DDR5-6000 32GB Memory Kit, and an EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card.
We will be swapping out the included TOUGHFAN 12 Turbo fans with Thermaltake’s SWAFAN 12 RGB fans, which gives me a pull-push configration with reverse airflow. What can we expect in terms of cooling performance? Let’s find out.
Let’s dive straight in and start by taking a look at the specifications on the next page. You can buy the Thermaltake TOUGHLIQUID Ultra 360 All-In-One Liquid Cooler for USD $184 from Amazon – https://amzn.to/3rROD0q
