Gigabyte AORUS WATERFORCE X II 360 Black, LCD Display CPU Liquid Cooler

Gigabyte AORUS WATERFORCE X II 360 Black is a water cooler for processors with a large 360 mm radiator and an emphasis on aesthetics thanks to the LCD display on the head. It is aimed at mid-range to high-end configurations, where you want quiet and stable operation of a powerful CPU. It is compatible with both new and older platforms, including LGA 1700, AM5, and even LGA 1851, so you can easily transfer it between generations. The black design and ARGB control make it easy to fit into any build with a transparent side panel.

What you get is a classic 360 mm AIO configuration: a radiator for three 120 mm fans and a compact water head with an LCD that provides a visual centerpiece in your case. The three included fans sized 120 x 120 x 25 mm provide a large area for airflow, which is important when loading multi-core CPUs and during long gaming sessions. 4-pin connectors allow standard PWM control through the motherboard, so you can set profiles for quiet operation in idle and more aggressive cooling under load. 5V ARGB connectivity gives you synchronization with the rest of the lighting in the case, so the fans and pump can playin unison. Combined with broad socket support, this cooler is something you can comfortably use through several upgrades ahead.

• Large 360 mm radiator that offers serious heat dissipation area and is suitable for high-end CPUs under prolonged load.
• Three included 120 x 120 x 25 mm fans providing balanced airflow and good flexibility for installation in most mid and full tower cases.
• Support for multiple Intel sockets – LGA 1700, LGA 1851, LGA 1200, LGA 2066, LGA 2011-v3, LGA 1366, LGA 115x, making it a long-term solution when changing platforms.
• Wide AMD compatibility with AM4, AM5, and TR4, so you can use it with both mainstream Ryzen and more serious HEDT configurations.
• 4-pin fan connectors for PWM control, allowing fine-tuning of curves according to noise and temperatures, directly from BIOS or software.
• 5V ARGB connector for synchronizing lighting with other components, so you can maintain a unified visual style in your build.
• LCD display on the water block that allows for displaying system information or visualizations, turning the cooler into a highlight of the configuration.

This water cooler is suitable if you are aiming for serious gaming or work configuration with a multi-core processor, especially with plans for platform upgrades in the coming years. It is suitable for cases that support a 360 mm radiator on the front or top panel – if you have a more compact case, check the space carefully, as its form factor is not for everyone. If you don't need LCD and RGB, there are more modest solutions for a purely budget build.

The strongest aspect here is the combination of a 360 mm radiator, rich socket compatibility, and a visual plus with LCD and ARGB, so you don't have to compromise on either cooling or the appearance of your configuration.
