This time, the 360mm size is unboxed, and the water-cooling exhaust fan is pre-installed at the factory. The 410mm long water-cooling pipe is also covered with a cloth fixing sleeve, which allows users to adjust the aesthetics of the water-cooling pipe when installing the machine.

∆ Full view of the one-piece water-cooled body.

 

The water-cooling head measures 89 x 76 x 64 mm, and the LCD processor information screen in the center measures 53.9 x 49.15 mm, which displays CPU utilization, integration frequency, power consumption, temperature, and other information, which is a good plan for practical gamers who don't like fancy things but just want to see processor-related information.

The display screen is surrounded by an ARGB aperture block, which uses a matte material to create a somewhat jelly-like lighting effect when energized.

The water-cooling head itself is magnetically fixed, so the screen of the water-cooling head can be rotated in four directions: 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°. According to the water-cooling pipe installation direction, the water-cooling head can be directly adjusted, so that the text can be presented in the correct direction no matter what.

The dimensions of the ∆ water cooler are 89 x 76 x 64 mm.

∆ Water-cooled head unit cover is magnetically fixed and can be disassembled to adjust the mounting position.

∆ The water cooler itself requires 5V 3-Pin ARGB (male and female serial cable), 3-Pin, USB 9-Pin.

∆ Copper base pre-coated with heat dissipating paste.

 

DeepCool LQ360 comes with three water-cooled exhaust fans, the FD12 ARGB fan with dimensions of 120 x 120 x 25 mm, a maximum speed of 2400 RPM ± 10%, a maximum airflow of 72.04 CFM, a maximum air pressure of 3.48 mmH₂O, and a maximum noise level of ≤38.71 dB(A).

The fans are powered by 5V 3-Pin ARGB and PWM 4-Pin for light control and fan speed, and the three fans themselves are directly connected through special slots and the included special cables to optimize the whole cable solution and control the cost.

∆ The three water-cooled exhaust fans are FD12 ARGB fans.

∆ Three fans use special connectors.

∆ Use accessory cables to connect three fans directly in series with one cable.

∆Three fans require only one PWM and ARGB, and support GIGABYTE, ASRock, ASUS, and MSI's four major motherboard manufacturers to synchronize their lighting control software.

 

The water cooler is a common 27 mm thick single-wave water cooler with overall dimensions of 402 x 120 x 27 mm. The water cooler is equipped with a dynamically balanced pressure relief valve labeled for extended service life.

∆ The single-wave water cooler measures 402 x 120 x 27 mm. The overall length of the water cooler is a little bit longer, so you need to pay attention to this if the chassis is a little bit compact.

∆ Dynamically balanced relief valve, water-cooled exhaust plus fan with a thickness of 52 mm.

 

The water-cooling box comes with the following accessories: special fan cables, various fasteners, twelve long screws, twelve short screws for water-cooling rows, but unfortunately, there is no extra thermal paste, so if you want to update the thermal paste in the future, you will need to purchase extra by yourself, which is a pity.

DeepCool LQ360 All-in-One Water Cooling Performance Measurement

The DeepCool LQ360 dual-tower air cooler was installed on a barebones test platform with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and an ASRock Z890I Nova WiFi motherboard. During the testing process, all the fan slots were set to run at full speed in the motherboard BIOS, and the test scenario was a closed room in Taipei with an air-conditioning unit that was about to arrive at 19°C. The actual test was conducted in an ordinary room that was difficult to control the ambient temperature, so it was only for reference. The test was conducted in a closed room at 19°C in Taipei where the air-conditioning team will be coming to, for reference only as it is difficult to control the ambient temperature in a normal room.

We used AIDA64 FPU testing to simulate temperature data under extreme load conditions, and HWiNFO64 to collect and record the maximum temperature and power consumption of the CPU package.

Testing Platform

Processor:Intel Core Ultra 9 285K  (Power Delivery Profile_Intel Default Mode)
Cooler: DEEPCOOL LQ360 (full speed)
Motherboard: ASRock Z890I Nova WiFi (BIOS version: 2.23.AS03 [Beta])
Memory: Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition 8000MT/s 48GB (2x24GB)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Founders Edition 8GB
Operating System: Windows 11 Professional 24H2
System Dish:Kingston NV3 2TB
Power supply:lian li edge gold 1200 (eg1200g)
Case: STREACOM BC1 Benchtable V2
Graphics driver: GeForce Game Ready 566.36

 

I updated the BIOS version of my motherboard to version 2.23.AS03 [Beta] and tested it with the default settings of this motherboard, the remaining settings: XMP_on, all fan slots speed_full.

After thirty minutes of AIDA64 FPU in Intel Default Mode, the CPU Package temperature peaked at 82 °C; the CPU Package power consumption was 242 W, and the CPU temperature was 75 °C maximum.

1. AIDA64 FPU_30 Minute

• CPU temperature is measured by the diode in the slot to measure the internal (core) or external (case) temperature, but there is no way to know exactly whether it is the internal or external temperature that is measured, and most monitoring software uses this item to display the CPU temperature.
• CPU Package temperature is recorded by all digital temperature sensors (DTS) in the package as the average of the maximum temperature over 256 milliseconds, which is the CPU temperature observation value recommended by HWiNFO64, and is used as a benchmark for overheating and downclocking of the CPU.

Conclusion

The DeepCool LQ360 comes with pre-installed fans and special cables, which I personally like, and it saves a lot of work in the installation and wiring process, as you only need one cable for all three fans, and it's very convenient to connect the PWM and ARGB to it.

Cooling Performance Actual Match Intel Core Ultra 9 285K The processor was tested at a maximum temperature of 82°C at a maximum power consumption of 242W, which is much better than the previous generation of the 4th generation pumps, and basically no need to worry about processor overheating under the current motherboard default Intel Default setting.

I personally like the look of the water-cooled head's ARGB outer aperture similar to the jelly style, and the display size of 53.9 x 49.15 mm LCD screen is also very clear and full, but the ARGB lighting effect on the fan itself is not full enough, which is a matter of opinion, and I look forward to the future enhancement of the Jiuzhou Fengshen.

There's one small thing that I hope DeepCool can improve on, the lack of extra thermal paste is a bit awkward and means that future users will have to buy extra thermal paste to replace it.
