Corsair has long been a key player in the PC components world, originally making a name for themselves in memory products. About 20 years ago, though, they decided to branch out. Starting cautiously, they introduced a few new offerings which soon flourished. This successful diversification has helped Corsair grow into the industry titan we know today.
One standout success story for Corsair is their range of all-in-one (AIO) liquid coolers. It’s quite remarkable considering their initial steps into liquid cooling back in 2003 were met with disappointment. But rather than retreating, Corsair strategically returned to the market, tapping into the rise of easy-to-use, maintenance-free AIO systems. This move turned out to be a masterstroke, and now AIO coolers are a signature product for the brand, with a wide variety of models available.
In today’s review, we’re diving into Corsair’s latest AIO cooler, the iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX. Similar to its predecessor, the iCUE LINK H150i RGB, it features noteworthy enhancements, including a revamped pump for better performance. Continuing Corsair’s legacy of innovation, the TITAN 360 RX integrates perfectly within the iCUE ecosystem. Its design is all about simplicity, with a single-cable setup that makes installation a breeze, putting it front and center in Corsair’s ever-expanding cooler lineup.

Packaging & Bundle
When the iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX arrived, its large, sturdy cardboard box immediately reflected the cooler’s size. The packaging sports Corsair’s classic black and yellow theme, with the cooler’s image prominently displayed. Everything inside was snugly fitted within custom inserts, designed to withstand the jostles of delivery and keep the contents safe.
As you’d anticipate from Corsair, the box is stocked with all necessary mounting gear for both AMD and Intel CPUs, complete with specific paper pouches simplifying the installation. Alongside, there’s the essential iCUE Link Hub, a crucial piece of the iCUE ecosystem puzzle, ensuring the cooler runs smoothly.
The Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX RGB AIO Liquid Cooler
At first glance, the TITAN 360 RX RGB may look like any typical 360 mm AIO cooler. However, pay closer attention and you’ll notice its unique wire-free look, highlighting its streamlined design. Sticking to the classic AIO layout, it features a single radiator linked by two hoses to a block housing a copper contact plate and a tiny pump. Corsair has chosen black-sleeved, low-permeation rubber tubing for flexibility, setting it apart from many rivals.
The radiator measures an impressive 396 mm — requiring a case that can accommodate three 120 mm fans lengthwise. With a thickness of 27 mm, space considerations are key for installation. The radiators have a dual-pass cross-flow design, with soldered fins ensuring efficient airflow, even with low-pressure fans.
Corsair has pre-installed the three RX120 RGB fans on the radiator, ingeniously designed with side connectors to link directly, needing just one cable for power and speed control through the hub. Sporting LEDs along their frames, they create captivating lighting effects. Utilizing magnetic levitation motors, these fans promise quietness and reliability with speeds ranging from 300-2100 RPM. A slight but notable difference from the H150i RGB model, which used QX120 fans peaking at 2400 RPM. Plus, the fan’s side plates are removable if customization is desired.
The main block is quite sizable but deceptively sophisticated. Its squircle shape encases multiple LEDs for stunning lighting possibilities. The top plate can be oriented to suit your system’s setup and offers room for personalization, especially for those with 3D printing or CNC capabilities. The design is sleek, with no pesky wires to disrupt its clean look.
Beneath, the cooler features a copper contact plate secured with eight screws, ensuring superb thermal contact, albeit not polished to a mirror shine. Corsair applies their XTM70 thermal paste beforehand, boosting thermal efficiency but limiting users to one initial installation unless aftermarket paste is procured.
Once powered up, the TITAN 360 RX RGB dazzles with a dynamic light display. Thanks to the iCUE software, users can create and manage custom lighting effects, from aesthetic embellishments to functional, condition-based alerts like temperature shifts. This setup connects seamlessly with other Corsair hardware, empowering users to integrate devices in novel ways, such as configuring a keyboard’s light bar to mimic fan RPMs, or syncing cooler lights with a mouse profile.
In all, Corsair has once again delivered a product that balances form, function, and flair, ensuring the iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX RGB AIO cooler is a worthy successor in their celebrated lineup of cooling solutions.
