ID-Cooling FX360 Pro AIO Cooler Review

How Much Does it Cost?

The ID-Cooling FX360 Pro has been seen for sale for as little as $60, however, I’ve seen it for around $80 at a lot of places, and of course, since tax is included here in the UK, it can be more like £70-90 here, which is still very competitive, as many rival AIO coolers of a similar size can cost a little over £100, some can cost a lot more than that too if they say NZXT, Corsair or ASUS on them, simply because they have that brand name punching power that has a bit of status, but honestly, to hell with that, as I’d be proud to have an ID-Cooling cooler in one of my PCs. You can check on Amazon for up to date stock and prices here.

Overview

ID-Cooling has made my job easy today, as this cooler really ticks all the boxes for me. It’s a stylish product, and while aesthetics aren’t important to everyone, they’re certainly a major part of modern PC builds. With tempered glass being dominant in PC case design, it helps to have good looking hardware. With a stylish all-black design, great looking fans, daisy chained cables, and that lovely pump design, the FX360 Pro scores strong here.

Performance is great too, easily competitive with the other big-name brands, and even keeping up with products that cost a lot more money. Admittedly, a lot of rival products cost more because of their bigger brand name status, the addition of a plethora of RGB, and rather commonly these days, expensive LCD pump designs. However, strip all that glitz back and the ID-Cooler FX360 Pro has a good quality pump, fans and radiator that make it just as competitive as all those fancy alternatives. When it comes to coolers, performance is king, and the FX360 Pro can certainly hold its own.

The noise levels are competitive too, and while this is a cheaper model, the fans are very good, offering a powerful max RPM for extreme cooling, but also operate really well at lower RPM where they’re virtually silent, so I’m sure you can easily find a profile to suit your requirements.

Should I Buy One?

While the PC gaming market seems to be pushing most of its innovation into aesthetics, adding RGB and LCD products to their coolers that in many cases more than double the price of the product, with little to no improvement in core performance vs other coolers of the last few years, ID-Cooling has given us a refreshing change of pace, pushing down the price of their latest cooler to £20-40 less than many rival big-name products, while not compromising on the overall build quality or core performance. The ID-Cooling FX360 Pro is a simple, clean and stylish cooler that’s sure to be a welcome compliment to any system build.
