Best 360mm AIO coolers

12 360 mm AIO liquid coolers, ranked by sustained cooling headroom. The Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 ARGB V2 ranks first: rated 320 W sustained, it keeps 120 of the 120 processors it can mount in the Excellent band and has 67 W of headroom on the Core i7-13700K (253 W).

How the ranking works: each cooler’s sustained dissipation rating (what it can remove continuously at acceptable noise, not a marketing peak) is set against every CPU’s boost power limit, Intel’s PL2 or AMD’s PPT. Headroom is the difference in watts; 25 W or more is Excellent. Coolers rank by how much of the CPU list they keep Excellent, then by value. The formula and data sources are on the methodology page.

Excellent fit

67 W of headroom on the Core i7-13700K (253 W), the hungriest chip on this list. Liquid, so no RAM height limit, $55.39 on Amazon; needs a radiator mount in the case.

Terms used on this page

AIO liquid cooler
A sealed closed-loop liquid cooler with a pump block and a 120–420 mm radiator. Radiator length determines case compatibility; thickness plus fans determines top-mount clearance above the VRM heatsinks.
Sustained dissipation rating
The continuous heat load, in watts, a cooler can remove at acceptable noise. This site uses realistic sustained figures rather than marketing peak numbers, and models temperature as ambient plus load ÷ rating × a per-load scale.
Thermal headroom
The cooler's sustained dissipation rating minus the CPU's boost power limit, in watts. Positive headroom lets fans run slower and quieter; 25 W or more is rated Excellent here.
TjMax
The maximum junction temperature the maker allows, typically 95–100 °C. AMD lists 90 °C for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 89 °C for the 7800X3D and 95 °C for the 9800X3D. At TjMax the CPU throttles clocks to stay in place; it will not overheat, but it will lose performance.
