Corsair has been a reliable name in the PC components scene, especially known for their memory products. But about twenty years back, they decided to broaden their horizons and gradually introduced a diverse range of products. This cautious strategy initially seemed like a tentative step, yet it turned out to be a masterstroke, transforming Corsair into the major industry player it is today.
Among Corsair’s biggest wins is their line of all-in-one (AIO) liquid coolers. What makes this success story even more impressive is that their first attempt at liquid cooling back in 2003 wasn’t exactly a home run. But Corsair didn’t shy away from the challenge. They dove back into the market after some time, smartly capitalizing on the increasing demand for user-friendly, low-maintenance AIO coolers. This move was brilliant, as it allowed them to establish AIO coolers as one of their leading products, with a variety of models now available.
Today, we’ll be taking a detailed look at the latest member of Corsair’s AIO cooler family: the iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX. While it shares similarities with the iCUE LINK H150i RGB, it brings some refined enhancements, like a new and improved pump that boosts performance. This cooler embodies Corsair’s ethos of innovation and high standards, blending seamlessly into the iCUE ecosystem for an optimized experience. Its streamlined single-cable design makes set-up a breeze, helping it shine in Corsair’s expanding collection of cooling solutions.

Packaging & Bundle
The iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX arrives in a large, sturdy box that echoes its considerable size. Sticking to Corsair’s recognizable black and yellow scheme, the packaging features a bright image of the cooler itself, offering an early taste of its sleek design. Opening the box reveals the cooler and its parts, meticulously arranged in custom-fitted cardboard, ensuring they are well-protected.
Inside, you’ll find all the necessary hardware for easy installation on both AMD and Intel systems, organized in separate paper bags. The package also includes the iCUE Link Hub, essential for running the cooler and part of Corsair’s integrated ecosystem.
The cooler’s cabling solution is both clever and convenient. It uses a 6-pin PCI Express connector for power, dodging the need for a Molex cable. Given the trends among users likely buying this model—those probably equipped with potent PSUs and extra PCI Express connectors—this makes perfect sense. However, if you’re right at the limit with your current setup, keep in mind that you might need to upgrade your PSU or source adapters. An included adapter could have made this transition a tad easier.
The Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX RGB AIO Liquid Cooler
At first glance, you might think this cooler looks like many other 360 mm AIO units out there. Yet, exploring a bit deeper uncovers its standout feature: the absence of visible cables, contributing to a super-clean look. It follows the tried-and-true AIO layout with a radiator, hoses, and a block combining a copper CPU contact plate with a liquid pump. The black sleeved rubber tubing Corsair uses here is impressively flexible compared to similar products.
With a radiator that’s quite substantial—396 mm long—you’ll need a case that’s up for the task, fitting three 120 mm fans side by side, with space to spare for the occasional tighter squeeze. Its dual pass cross-flow design and the thin nature of the radiator make it well-suited for high-efficiency cooling, even with lower airflow.
The three pre-installed RX120 RGB fans are an engineering marvel: not a single wire is left out in plain sight. These fans use side connectors to interlock, letting you connect them to the hub with just one cord for all power and ARGB control. Each fan has LEDs behind diffusers all around, delivering a knockout light display. A small sensor on one fan further aids in their ultra-reliability, not to mention these fans operate from 300 to 2100 RPM smoothly. Significant upgrades from the older versions, these fans are quieter and more efficient.
The block of the cooler might seem straightforward, but its clever squircle design hides quite a punch. The top can come off and be rotated to fit any installation direction, with customization potential for users with access to 3D printers. The structure does away with any external wires, enhancing its sleek appearance.
Beneath the block, you’ll find a robust copper plate held by eight sturdy screws. While it doesn’t feature a mirror-like polish, its finish is more than adequate for excellent heat transfer. Corsair’s pre-applied XTM70 thermal paste promises high thermal conductivity, ensuring efficient performance right from the first installation. However, this convenience means you’ll need to have a spare thermal compound on hand if you plan on reinstalling.
Once powered up, the iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX RGB doesn’t disappoint, putting on a vibrant LED performance. Through the iCUE interface, users have a host of customizable lighting setups, all controllable via Corsair’s comprehensive software. The rich variety of aesthetic and functional lighting options allows for everything from temperature cues to profile-sync lighting. Integrated into the wider Corsair suite, this cooler can even synchronize with compatible peripherals for a truly interconnected setup, taking your gaming rig’s synchronization to new heights.
