Fractal Design Radius 360 All-in-One Liquid CPU Cooler - Black - FD-W-RA1-3601

The Fractal Design Radius 360 is a 360mm all-in-one liquid CPU cooler and the successor to Fractal's previous AIO line. It pairs a copper cold plate with a ceramic-bearing PWM pump and ships with Dynamic 3 fans pre-installed on the radiator. Tube-integrated cabling and articulating tube connections make installation markedly tidier than a conventional AIO.

Ceramic-Bearing Pump and Copper Cold Plate

The pump uses a ceramic bearing, which runs quieter and lasts longer than the sleeve bearings common in budget AIOs, and is PWM controlled so it throttles back at idle instead of running flat out constantly. A copper cold plate handles heat transfer from the processor. Reviewers have singled out the Radius platform for efficient pump operation and good thermal balance.

Installation Designed to Be Tidy

Fractal routes the fan cabling through the tubing itself, so a three-fan 360mm radiator presents one cable rather than several, which removes most of the wiring mess an AIO usually introduces. Articulating tube connections let the tubes pivot to suit your case layout instead of forcing an awkward bend, and the pump cap rotates so the logo stays upright whatever the orientation. Dynamic 3 fans come pre-installed on the radiator.

Quiet Operation

Without RGB the cooler costs noticeably less while delivering identical thermal performance, which suits builds where lighting is not a priority or where the case has a solid side panel. Dynamic 3 fans are tuned for the airflow-to-noise balance Fractal is known for, and PWM control keeps them quiet until the processor actually demands more.
