Overall, the ID-Cooling DX 360 MAX is an affordable, no-frills all-in-one liquid cooler that offers clean looks and decent performance on AMD systems. However, it goes from good to excellent and thus an easy recommendation for those on an Intel-based system that want something with a bit more visual flair without being over the top.

GLOW WITH THE FLOW: Innovative grille lines seamlessly intertwine, while the bold, angular design disrupts traditional norms. The pump cover, featuring ARGB lighting, creates a stream-like lighting effect, redefining elegance.

EXTREME PERFORMANCE PUMP: The DX360 MAX is equipped with a specially developed Gen-7 pump, operating at a maximum speed of 2900 RPM. This ensures efficient and quiet coolant circulation, keeping temperatures low even during peak CPU performance.

UNPARALLELED THICKNESS: The 38mm-thick radiator features a 40% increase in cooling surface area through an enhanced fin stack. This improvement allows for better heat dissipation, a larger liquid volume, and reduced heat accumulation, ensuring effective temperature management.

STEPPED INLET DESIGN: The new Stepped Inlet Design introduces turbulence to the incoming airflow, facilitating the transition from laminar to turbulent flow. This reduces intake noise, enhances airflow attachment, and improves suction capacity.

THE MAGNETIC BEARING: Carefully engineered bearings, combined with a rear magnetic stabilizer, eliminate fan blade shaking in lifting mode. This minimizes noise while maximizing cooling performance and extending fan lifespan.

ADVANCED MOTOR: The DF-125 features a 3-phase, 6-pole fan motor with high torque, optimized for speed and smooth operation. By eliminating torque variations, the fan remains remarkably quiet even at close distances.

ZERO RPM MODE: With PWM control, precise fan speeds can be set, including support for 0 RPM signals. This allows the fans to stop entirely at low temperatures, eliminating noise completely.

INTELLIGENT CABLE NETWORK: Using extension cables, the DF-125 fans on the DX360 MAX can be connected via daisy-chain cables, streamlining installation.

INCREDIBLY TIDY: The 465mm premium sleeved tubing can be neatly managed with the included clips, ensuring a cleaner build and hassle-free cable handling.

58MM OF SPACE REQUIRED FOR STANDARD 25MM FANS: To ensure compatibility with liquid cooling, at least 58mm of clearance must be maintained between the case and the motherboard.

83MM OF SPACE REQUIRED FOR PUSH-PULL FANS: If 25mm-thick fans are installed on both sides of the radiator in a push-pull configuration, a minimum clearance of 83mm is required.

SIMPLE AND STURDY: The X24 mounting kit is designed for ease of use, combining a straightforward installation process with a sleek, all-black aesthetic that perfectly complements the cooler.
