GIGABYTE AORUS WATERFORCE II 360 ICE liquid cooler

A 360 mm liquid cooler for mainstream CPUs

The GIGABYTE AORUS WATERFORCE II 360 ICE is an all-in-one liquid cooling system built around a 394 x 119 x 27 mm aluminium radiator and three 120 mm HDB fans. It mounts on Intel sockets from LGA 1150 through LGA 1851 and on AMD AM4 and AM5 platforms, covering current mainstream desktop processors. The copper cold plate transfers heat to the fluid loop, while ARGB lighting on the fans and block can be synchronised with motherboard software.

Suited for white-themed builds

Builders who want a white 360 mm cooler with addressable RGB and a 330-degree rotatable water block will find the orientation flexibility useful for windowed cases. The EZ-Chain slide-in interlocking and daisy-chain fan design reduces the number of cables running to the motherboard, so installers who prefer a clean interior gain time. Buyers who need a smaller radiator for compact chassis or who require a non-ARGB unit should look elsewhere.

Steady thermal performance with variable fan speed

Under sustained load the three fans operate between 800 and 2300 RPM, delivering up to 64.95 CFM airflow and 2.93 mmH₂O static pressure while noise ranges from 12.8 to 36.9 dBA. The pump runs at a fixed speed inside the 72.8 x 72.8 x 65.1 mm block, maintaining continuous coolant circulation without a separate curve. Fan and pump RPM are controlled universally through standard motherboard headers, so thermal behaviour scales with the CPU workload rather than a fixed profile.
