Thermalright FW360 SE ARGB V2 360mm CPU AIO Liquid Cooler for Desktop - TL-M12Q 2000RPM Daisy-Chain Fans

The Thermalright FW360 SE ARGB V2 is a solid mid-range 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler that punches well above its price point. It sits in Thermalright's more accessible range—the company's known for delivering performance without the premium brand markup—and it's genuinely built for anyone running a modern CPU who wants reliable cooling without the faffing about. Whether you've got an AMD Ryzen 7000 series, an Intel 12th/13th gen chip, or older AM4 stuff, this'll handle it. It's the kind of cooler I'd recommend to mates building their first high-end PC or upgrading from basic air cooling.

Performance-wise, the FW360 SE ARGB V2 delivers proper cooling thanks to its 360mm radiator with three TL-M12Q fans rated at 2000 RPM. The real standout here is the 2-inch LCD display on the pump block—it's not just gimmicky RGB; it actually shows you real-time CPU temps, pump speed, and fan speeds, which is genuinely useful for monitoring. The radiator itself uses a robust aluminum design with good fin density, and the pump block makes solid contact with modern CPU IHS. Build quality feels hefty without being over-engineered, and the daisy-chain fan connectors mean you're not plugging three separate headers into your motherboard.

Against competitors like the NZXT Kraken or Corsair H150i, the Thermalright offers better value—you get similar cooling performance for less outlay. The LCD screen is actually a practical touch that premium coolers charge extra for. One thing to check before ordering to the UK: mounting compatibility varies slightly between AMD and Intel platforms, so verify your exact CPU socket on the compatibility list. The box includes mounting brackets for AM4, AM5, and Intel 1700/1851, but double-check yours is included. Radiator thickness means you'll want to confirm your case can accommodate a 360mm unit with decent clearance around RAM and CPU power delivery.
