The GIGABYTE AORUS WATERFORCE X II 360 (White Edition) is a premium-class 360mm all-in-one liquid CPU cooler designed for high-end gaming PCs and enthusiast systems that demand strong thermal performance, advanced monitoring features, and a visually striking LCD display design. It is part of Gigabyte’s AORUS flagship cooling lineup, combining industrial-grade cooling hardware with a highly customizable display system.

At the center of the cooler is a high-efficiency copper cold plate water block, engineered to rapidly absorb heat from the CPU and transfer it into the liquid loop. The integrated pump is built into the CPU block and operates at speeds of around 2500–3000 RPM, ensuring consistent coolant flow and stable thermal performance even under heavy workloads such as gaming, rendering, and CPU-intensive multitasking. The pump system is designed for durability and steady long-term operation, helping maintain reliable cooling over extended usage sessions.

The cooler uses a large 360mm aluminum radiator, which provides a wide surface area for heat dissipation. This allows the coolant to cool down efficiently before returning to the CPU block, maintaining stable temperatures under sustained load. The radiator is paired with a 380mm sleeved rubber tube system, offering flexibility for installation in most mid-tower and full-tower PC cases while maintaining a clean internal layout.

Cooling performance is delivered through three 120mm ARGB fans, designed for a balance of airflow, static pressure, and low noise. These fans operate at speeds between 800 and 2400 RPM, automatically adjusting based on system temperature. They can produce airflow of up to around 72 CFM, making them capable of handling high thermal loads from modern CPUs while keeping noise levels within a controlled range of approximately 12–37.5 dBA.

One of the standout features of the AORUS WATERFORCE X II 360 is its 60 × 60mm full-color LCD display mounted on the pump head. This display allows real-time monitoring of system information such as CPU temperature, usage, clock speed, and fan/pump status. It also supports full customization, enabling users to upload GIFs, images, text, and even video content, making it a highly personalized centerpiece for showcase builds.

The LCD system is controlled through GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC) software, which allows users to adjust display themes, synchronize ARGB lighting, and monitor system performance in real time. The ARGB lighting on both the pump and fans can also be synchronized across other AORUS components for a unified ecosystem aesthetic.

Build quality is another strong point. The water block uses a solid copper base, which improves heat transfer efficiency and long-term durability. The fans feature Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) technology, which reduces friction, increases lifespan, and keeps noise levels lower compared to traditional sleeve-bearing fans.
