What to know before buying

The radiator requires room for a 397 x 120 mm footprint and 52 mm total height with fans. Confirm case clearance and motherboard header availability before installation. For AMD mounting, the listing says to use the motherboard’s original back plate.

Listing details to confirm

The title and feature text call the radiator 360 mm, while the detailed dimensions give 397 x 120 x 27 mm. Fan noise is reported as both 28.2 Decibels and ≤28.2dBA, and the listed item dimensions appear to express radiator length, width and total height rather than a plainly labelled standalone component. Confirm the specific dimensions and noise-rating context if they affect fit or selection.

Aggregate customer ratings are generally positive, with the supplied distribution showing ratings in the four- and five-star categories. The sample is small and no written feedback is supplied, so it cannot establish specific strengths or explain customers’ experiences. For buyers, compatibility and case fit remain more actionable checks than the ratings alone.
