Dragonfang 360 is a liquid AIO cooler of typical design with a pump hidden inside the cooling block. The pump drives the liquid from the block to the radiator and back via a pair of braided tubes, which are made of a highly durable and at the same time highly pliable copolymer (FEP). As is usual with AIO coolers, an aluminum radiator with a thickness of 27 millimeters is used here. Overall, the Dragonfang 360 is no different in design from most AIO coolers on the market and there are no tricky surprises waiting for you.<\/p>\n
The top surface of the cooling block is a visually interesting feature. The whole top of the block rotates freely around its axis and in one half of this rotating part there is a small weight. This ensures that the top will always be in a horizontal position regardless of the orientation of the rest of the assembly. The crossbar with the plastic manufacturer’s logo can be easily removed and rotated if necessary, as it is held in place by small magnets. In addition, the crossbar with the logo as well as the entire circular perimeter of the upper part of the block are lighted by ARGB LEDs.<\/p>\n The copper coldplate surface is pleasantly sized and has a thin layer of thermal paste applied to it from the factory, eliminating the worry of the correct amount and\/or the correct application method, about which you will find perhaps too many articles on the internet, and they usually contradict each other. However, you will also find a small tube of additional thermal paste in the cooler’s box should you later move the cooler to another build or perhaps upgrade the CPU in your build.<\/p>\n The tubes are mounted in the cooling block by means of swivel fittings, which are a bit unconventionally outside the main axis of the cooling block and are slightly offset to the side. However, this shouldn’t be a problem for compatibility with RAM or motherboard VRM heatsinks. There are a pair of cables coming out of the block that take care of the PWM control (!) of the pump and the ARGB lighting of the cooling block. More ARGB elements can be found on the fans, where however there is no classic ring around the rotor with blades, but four LED segments in each corner of the frame.<\/p>\n What I rate as absolutely perfect is the presentation of the product and its accessories. Well, judge for yourself by looking at the following photos.<\/p>\n Everything is neatly stored in a generous amount of protective foam, well labelled and described. There is nothing essential missing in the accessories and on the contrary, you will find nice bonuses in the form of plastic clips for the cooler tubes and also tape to prevent accidental disconnection of ARGB cables. But above all you will find a hub for the fans with PWM control combined with a hub for the ARGB lighting. Paradoxically, however, its presence is hardly needed, because the fans have the option of a serial connection using the included couplers. Realistically, you can get by with two PWM headers and a single ARGB header on the motherboard. However, the hub will certainly allow for much neater cable routing and management in the build.<\/p>\n P\u0159ilo\u017een\u00fd manu\u00e1l je velmi detailn\u00ed, ale z\u00e1rove\u0148 z\u016fst\u00e1v\u00e1 p\u0159ehledn\u00fd a nem\u011bli byste m\u00edt probl\u00e9m s \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fdm krokem instalace chladi\u010de nebo jeho zapojen\u00ed.

The cooler supports all modern sockets, the radiator length is just under 400 mm and the block dimensions are also standard. Price-wise, the Dragonfang 360 is a bit worse than its direct competitors, which is at least a bit offset by the longer warranty.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/valkyrie-dragonfang-360-01.jpg\")
