Thermaltake has unveiled its latest liquid CPU cooling solution, the OB360. This all-in-one unit is designed for users seeking a sleek, black aesthetic without the inclusion of ARGB lighting.
Why it matters
The OB360 emphasizes a minimalist approach to system building by consolidating three 120mm fans into a single frame to reduce cable clutter. This design strategy aims to decrease the reliance on complex wiring and additional lighting control software.
The radiator measures 397 by 120 by 27 millimeters and handles a thermal load of 360 watts. Fan speeds range from 500 to 2,000 RPM, while the pump operates between 1,500 and 2,500 RPM with a maximum noise output of 32.3 dB(A).
