Thermalright FW 360 SE ARGB Black AIO Liquid Cooler - IPS LCD Pump

In this review the Thermalright FW 360 SE ARGB is evaluated as a high-capacity 360mm all-in-one CPU cooler aimed at users who want strong cooling with a customizable display. The reviewer found it suits gamers and content creators who need sustained thermal performance and like visual customization, thanks to the detachable 2-in IPS LCD screen on the pump. Installation is straightforward for most mainstream sockets and the cooler delivers reliable temps while keeping pump and fan noise modest in real-world use.

Key Features

• 360mm radiator: A 397x120x52mm all-black aluminum fin radiator provides extensive surface area for heat dissipation over long gaming or rendering sessions.
• Detachable IPS LCD: The 2-in 320x240 resolution square LCD on the pump supports JPG, PNG and GIF for personalized images and can display CPU temperature for quick monitoring.
• High flow pump and fans: The new-generation pump paired with 120mm PWM air-pressure fans and a 2000 RPM fan speed rating keeps CPU temperatures low while aiming to limit noise output.
• Wide socket support: Includes mounting hardware and the SS2 all-metal buckle compatible with AMD AM4/AM5 and a broad range of Intel LGA sockets for easy platform installation.
• Durable build: Nano-painted radiator fins, polymer protective tubing and a solid cold head design are intended to lower evaporation and extend service life.

Who It's For

The Thermalright FW 360 SE ARGB is best for PC builders who need a large 360mm AIO to control temperatures during gaming, streaming or heavy multitasking and who value a customizable display on the pump for system monitoring.

It is less suited to compact mini-ITX cases that cannot fit a 397x120mm radiator or to buyers who expect flawless third-party software for screen customization, as reported users found mixed experiences with the supplied software.

Pros & Cons

• Broad socket compatibility and straightforward mounting with pre-installed fan clips and included fasteners.

Cons

• Software for the LCD receives mixed feedback and may not offer the polish some users expect for image management.
