Among the CPU coolers tested so far, the CPS PCCooler DT360 ARGB Display has the highest cooling performance and is also the most efficient. By this, we mean it delivers the best cooling performance even at comparable noise levels to other coolers. Across both platforms – Intel (on the Core Ultra 9 285K) and AMD (Ryzen 9 9950X). It is also attractive due to its display, while the price remains affordable.
Conclusion
The CPS PCCooler DT360 ARGB Display delivers top-tier cooling performance, and we dare say it will likely remain at the very top of liquid coolers for the foreseeable future.
However, the significant advantage over competing solutions is, to some extent, also due to its very high noise levels. At 2600 RPM, the three 120mm fans are truly loud. Yet, even when the fans are slowed down, the results remain impressive, and the PCCooler cooler leads the relative rankings even at comparable noise levels to other models. This includes those we’ve tested, such as the Endorfy Navis F360 and the Fractal Design Lumen S36 V2.
The cooling performance of the CPS DT360 is truly outstanding and suitable for even the most powerful processors designed for the AMD AM5 and Intel LGA 1851 platforms. When it comes to CPU cooling, the results are genuinely impressive. The results are also very good from the perspective of VRM cooling.
The CPS DT360 cooler is also visually appealing, whether it’s the display or the ARGB lighting (for example, on the fans). Naturally, these features increase the price, and the price-to-performance ratio is weaker compared to the significantly cheaper Navis F360 liquid cooler. The higher price here is necessary for the added value, which you may or may not appreciate.
The overall appeal of the cooler (cooling performance, visual features, price, etc.) depends on what you’re looking for, or rather, what you expect from a CPU cooler. Either way, the CPS PCCooler DT360 ARGB Display is among the elite coolers, characterized not only by exceptionally high cooling performance but also by the aforementioned extras. It supports all modern platforms (including AMD AM4 and LGA 1200/115x), with a robust, metal backplate-based mounting system.
Clear flaws are hard to find here, but those seeking exceptionally quiet configurations might still run into the relatively noisier pump. For this reason, we couldn’t regulate the CPS DT360 into the three quietest modes. Nevertheless, it can’t be said that the pump is loud—it’s not. But with good ears, you’ll notice it, just as you would with many other competing liquid coolers.
