ASUS introduced the LC 360 ARGB all-in-one liquid cooler to the Chinese market on September 21, 2024. This release gives system builders a budget-friendly option for cooling high-end processors without the premium price tag of LCD-equipped models. The unit targets users who need broad socket compatibility and reliable airflow for standard PC builds.

ASUS LC 360 ARGB AIO Cooler Launches for Around $82
The cooler supports a wide range of modern and previous-generation platforms, including Intel FCLGA1851 and FCLGA1700, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4 sockets. This broad support ensures compatibility with both the latest Intel Core Ultra processors and older Intel or AMD desktop CPUs. Users can install this unit on nearly any current mainstream motherboard without needing special adapters.
Specifications
- Price: 549 CNY
- Warranty: 5 years
- Socket Support: FCLGA1851, FCLGA1700, AM5, AM4
- Pump Type: 33mm PWM with 3-phase motor, max 3000RPM

ASUS equipped the LC 360 ARGB with a 33mm PWM pump driven by a three-phase motor that spins up to 3000 RPM. The pump pushes coolant through a 27mm thick aluminum radiator that spans 360mm in length. We paired this with three 25mm ARGB PWM fans that deliver up to 74.31 CFM of airflow at 1800 RPM while staying under 33 dB(A) of noise.
The copper cold plate features a 0.15mm micro-convex surface and 0.12mm micro-channels to improve heat transfer efficiency. ASUS pre-applies thermal paste to the base, which saves time during installation and ensures consistent contact. The unit also includes 400mm braided rubber hoses for cleaner cable management inside the case.
ASUS offers a five-year warranty on the LC 360 ARGB, which signals confidence in the pump and seal longevity. The cooler is available now in China for 549 CNY (around $81.72). We looked at the ASUS PRIME LC II 360 ARGB in our earlier Asus coverage, but this model strips the LCD screen to lower the cost. This pricing makes it a practical choice for budget-conscious builders who still want RGB lighting and strong cooling performance.
