Key Specifications

Superior Cooling Architecture

The WATERFORCE II 360 employs a three-fan configuration that maximises airflow across the radiator surface. With a maximum airflow rating of 64.95 CFM and air pressure of 2.93 mmH2O, this system efficiently dissipates heat from high-TDP processors. The ceramic bearing pump operates between 1600-3400 RPM, providing reliable circulation while maintaining quiet operation at lower speeds.

Advanced ARGB Lighting & Daisy-Chain Control

Customise your build with the multi-colour ARGB illumination across both the pump header and fans. The daisy-chain capability simplifies cable management by allowing sequential connection of components, reducing clutter within your chassis. This integrated lighting system can be synchronised with other AORUS components for a cohesive aesthetic.

Universal Socket Compatibility

Supporting Intel’s latest LGA 1851 and AMD’s AM5 platforms alongside legacy sockets including LGA 1200, LGA 1700, AM4, and others, this cooler offers exceptional versatility. The slide-in interlocking mechanism streamlines installation across different CPU platforms, making it suitable for both current and previous-generation systems.
