Question 1

Why choose the 360mm size over the 240mm?

Accepted Answer

The 360mm radiator provides significantly more cooling surface area. This is essential for flagship CPUs (Core i9, Ryzen 9) and for heavy, sustained overclocking, where maximum thermal dissipation is required to prevent throttling.

Question 2

Does this cooler require Corsair iCUE software for control?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a controller-free design. The fan speed (PWM) and ARGB lighting are managed directly by your motherboard’s headers and BIOS/RGB software. You skip the iCUE controller entirely.

Question 3

Are the fans and pump quiet under load?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The fans are optimized to produce only 10 - 36 dBA noise, and the pump operates at a whisper-quiet 20 dBA. This level is considered low-noise cooling even when running at the maximum 2100 RPM fan speed.

Question 4

What does &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;Zero RPM Mode&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; mean for noise?

Accepted Answer

Zero RPM Mode allows the three RS120 fans to stop spinning completely when the CPU is cool (idle or light load). This eliminates fan noise entirely, resulting in a silent PC when you are not actively gaming or rendering.
