CPU cooler ASUS TUF Gaming LC III 360 ARGB

ASUS TUF Gaming LC III 360 ARGB is a water cooling for CPU with 360 mm radiator, aimed at serious gaming and high-end configurations. With three 120 mm fans and addressable RGB lighting, it combines stable temperatures with visually finished build. Support for modern sockets like AM5, AM4, LGA 1700, LGA 1851 and LGA 1200 gives you freedom to put it on both new and upgraded computer. The package is aimed at person who wants to keep powerful CPU under control even during long gaming or render sessions.

What you get

The large 360 mm radiator and three included 120 mm fans provide large area for heat exchange, which is key for multi-core CPU under constant load. The RPM range from 650 – 2600 RPM allows you to balance between silence and maximum cooling according to profile in BIOS or software. With air flow up to 90.78 CFM and static pressure 3.82 mmH2O, fans can effectively push air even through dense radiator fins, which helps at higher temperatures and overclock. Addressable RGB lighting and 5V ARGB connector give you opportunity to synchronize effects with other components. Pump works at DC 12V, and compact water block with dimensions 80.9 x 77 x 67.1 mm facilitates mounting around RAM and VRM heatsinks.

• Water cooling with 360 mm radiator, suitable for powerful CPU and long gaming / workload sessions.
• Three included fans with size 120 x 120 x 25 mm, providing good combination of flow and pressure over entire radiator.
• Wide RPM range 650 – 2600 ±10% RPM, to tune your system from almost silent to maximum cooling.
• High air flow from 90.78 CFM, which helps to get hot air out quickly outside the case.
• Maximum static pressure 3.82 mmH2O, important for effective work through dense radiator at higher temperatures.
• Noise level up to 37.6 dBA, which is reasonable compromise for 360 mm system under serious load.
• Compatibility with sockets AM4, AM5, LGA 1200, LGA 1700, LGA 1851, so you can use it with wide set of modern platforms.
• Addressable RGB with 5V ARGB connector for synchronization of lighting with other components.

Who is it suitable for

This cooler is suitable if you assemble mid-range to high-end gaming or workstation configuration and want water cooling with large radiator for lower temperatures. Good choice is for multi-core CPU, overclock and cases that support 360 mm radiator in top or front position. If you are looking for something more compact for small case or do not plan serious load, smaller radiator may be more practical.

The most sensible here is combination of 360 mm radiator, strong fans with high CFM and static pressure, plus ARGB and wide socket compatibility. You get water cooling that is ready to take serious CPU without excessive marketing noise.
