Thermalright FW360 ARGB BW-360mm AIO CPU Liquid Cooler - IPS LCD Pump

In this review the Thermalright FW360 ARGB BW-360mm AIO is evaluated for PC builders who want a 360mm liquid cooler with a customizable display and ARGB lighting. The single biggest reason to consider it is the removable 2.4 in IPS LCD integrated into the pump, which lets users display images and monitor CPU temperature while retaining a full-length 397x120x52mm radiator and quiet operation. The unit is aimed at builders who want strong cooling headroom combined with visual customization without stepping up to a custom loop.

Key Features

• 360mm radiator: A full 397x120x52mm aluminum fin radiator offers broad surface area for sustained cooling under load.
• IPS LCD pump: The detachable 2.4 in square IPS screen supports JPG, PNG and GIF and can show system info or custom images for added personalization.
• Quiet operation: The pump and standard 120mm PWM air pressure fans are designed to run with low noise, listed around 23dBA for unobtrusive operation.
• ARGB lighting: 5V 3pin ARGB synchronization provides soft, addressable lighting effects when connected to a compatible motherboard header.
• Cross-platform mount: Includes mounting fasteners for AMD AM4/AM5 and Intel LGA115x, 1200, 2011, 2066, 1700 and 1851 sockets for wide compatibility.

Who It's For

This cooler is a good fit for PC enthusiasts building mid-to-high-end gaming or workstation systems that benefit from a 360mm radiator and want visual flair from a customizable pump display and ARGB lighting. It is especially appealing to builders who value lower operating noise and easy installation with provided mounting hardware.

Users who need absolute top-tier thermal performance for extreme overclocking or who prefer a fully modular custom loop may look elsewhere; similarly, systems that cannot fit a 360mm radiator or lack a 5V 3pin ARGB header will not be able to use all features.
