Conclusion and evaluation
Although PCCooler operates mainly in the Asian market, the company is trying to establish itself in the rest of the world. So, today I bring you a review of the DS360-BK cooler, which falls into the upper mid-range segment of liquid AIO coolers. One of the interesting features of this cooler is, for example, a display that shows the current CPU temperature or very high quality fans that can rival the absolute best on the market in certain situations.
Conclusion and evaluation
Although PCCooler is a relative newbie to the market, their ambitions are really high. The DS360-BK liquid AIO cooler is no exception to this and falls into the class of premium coolers with top-notch efficiency, with which I really have nothing to complain about.
I was also pleasantly surprised that you can easily control the pump speed using the FanControl app, even though the cooler ‘s pump is not equipped with PWM control. Another nice detail is the serial cable connection, which should be standard with liquid coolers nowadays. Unfortunately, this is negatively balanced by the amount of wiring that exits the cooling block, but things like this are difficult to solve without proprietary wiring requiring an external controller. The look of the cooling block is quite original and some users will appreciate the bright segmented display that shows the current CPU temperature.
In conclusion, the PCCooler DS360-BK is a well-made cooler with top-notch efficiency that lacks nothing essential except perhaps a greater attention to detail and a more refined visual design of the cooling block. It certainly deserves the Approved editorial award and its biggest problem so far seems to be its (un)availability on the European market.

Hmm, first places almost everywhere you look. A good cross verification of the results of the F5 R120 from fan tests.
