SAMA SM360 White LCD AIO Liquid Cooler 360mm - Custom Display

In this review the SAMA SM360 White AIO liquid cooler is examined for builders who want both performance cooling and a customizable display. The single biggest reason to consider it is the built-in 2.1 in IPS LCD that lets users show GIFs, MP4s or real-time monitoring while the three 120mm hydraulic bearing PWM fans keep temperatures down with relatively low noise. For people assembling a mid to high-end gaming PC or workstation, the SM360 balances strong heat dissipation and visual personalization in a single unit.

Key Features

• 2.1 in IPS LCD: The 480x480 full-color screen provides a clear, customizable surface for system stats, static images or short animations that personalize a build.
• ARGB PWM fans: Each 120mm hydraulic bearing fan delivers good airflow with quiet operation while the addressable ARGB adds dynamic lighting effects.
• Thick 27mm radiator: The 27mm radiator with 20mm wide internal channels increases coolant volume and surface area for more efficient heat transfer.
• Wide socket compatibility: Universal mounting supports a broad range of Intel and AMD sockets, simplifying installation across many modern platforms.
• Software customization: SAMA WaterCooling software allows uploading GIFs, MP4s or images and monitoring system metrics on the display.

Who It's For

The SM360 suits PC builders who want a 360mm AIO with both strong cooling capability and a prominent visual centerpiece; content creators and gamers who value on-case personalization will appreciate the LCD and ARGB effects. It is also a good match for users upgrading CPUs that benefit from a larger radiator and multiple fans for improved thermal headroom.

It is less appropriate for very compact cases that cannot accept a 360mm radiator or for users who need a plug-and-play display solution without spending time with configuration, since some buyers report mixed experiences with the screen functionality and the accompanying software.

Pros & Cons
