AORUS WATERFORCE II 360 ICE | Premium 360mm AIO Liquid Cooler, White

AORUS WATERFORCE II 360 ICE | Premium 360mm AIO Liquid Cooler, White

Enhanced Cooling and Fan Innovation: The WATERFORCE II 360 ICE introduces a revamped cooling architecture to maximize heat dissipation. Its new fan blade design is precision-engineered to increase both airflow volume and static pressure while simultaneously reducing noise levels. The edges of the fan blades are serrated to minimize turbulence and vibration. Beyond performance, the cooler solves a major “builder’s headache” with its Fan EZ-Chain system. The fans feature an interlocking, slide-in mechanism that carries both power and ARGB signals, allowing you to daisy-chain all three fans together with a single cable, resulting in a cleaner look and a significantly faster installation process.

Rotatable ARGB Aesthetic: The water block is the centerpiece of the AORUS ICE aesthetic, featuring high-quality chrome plating combined with dynamic, customizable ARGB lighting. Recognizing that different motherboard layouts and installation orientations can make logo alignment difficult, the water block features a 330-degree manual rotation design. This gives you complete flexibility to ensure the AORUS logo is perfectly oriented, regardless of how you mount the block on your CPU. Through RGB Fusion, you can synchronize the lighting effects of both the pump block and the ARGB fans, creating a cohesive, vibrant glow that perfectly complements the white finish of the cooler.

Universal Compatibility and Reliability: Designed to handle current and future hardware, the WATERFORCE II 360 ICE offers broad compatibility with both Intel and AMD sockets. It is optimized to provide excellent thermal headroom for the latest high-performance chips, including Intel’s Core Ultra (Arrow Lake-S) processors (socket 1851). The pump and radiator are built with high-quality, durable components to ensure long-term, leak-free operation, making it a reliable cooling foundation for high-end gaming rigs or professional workstations that run under sustained heavy loads.

Who It’s For

• White-Theme Enthusiasts: The perfect cooling solution for users building a “full white” PC rig who refuse to compromise on either style or thermal performance.
• Performance Gamers/Creators: Ideal for users running high-TDP CPUs (like the Core i9 or Ryzen 9) who need a robust, reliable 360mm cooler to prevent thermal throttling.
• Builders Who Hate Cable Management: The EZ-Chain fan system is a massive quality-of-life upgrade for anyone who wants to spend less time managing cables and more time enjoying their system.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to buy a separate controller for the RGB lighting? No. The AORUS WATERFORCE II 360 ICE is designed to be fully compatible with standard 5V 3-pin ARGB motherboard headers. You can control the lighting effects directly through your motherboard’s own software (like ASUS Aura, MSI Mystic Light, or Gigabyte RGB Fusion) without needing an extra proprietary controller.
2. Is this cooler compatible with the new Intel LGA 1851 socket? Yes. This cooler includes the necessary mounting hardware to support Intel’s latest LGA 1851 socket, ensuring it is ready for the latest Intel Core Ultra processor architectures.
3. Can I use this in a small case? Because this is a 360mm AIO, it requires a case with a dedicated 360mm radiator mounting location (usually on the top panel or front intake). Please check your case specifications to ensure it has enough clearance for a 360mm radiator, as it will not fit in smaller cases designed for 240mm or 120mm coolers.
