Introduction

A big thank you to ID-Cooling for supplying the review sample.

ID-Cooling continues to develop at a fast pace since its inception in 2013. Gradually expanding its market presence and brand recognition, the company has consistently refined its offerings with each product release. While initially focusing on value-driven designs, ID-Cooling has matured over time, adapting to market demands. This evolution has seen them not only continue to push value-focused options but also premium products, alongside improved warranties. They have not abandoned their willingness to experiment with new designs and trends either. Thus while ID-Cooling maintains an air of their original self they have grown considerably and are now a major player in the DIY PC market.


The ID-Cooling DX 360 MAX is the focus of today's review. It offers a simple yet elegant appearance with some ARGB elements on the pump. However, its main focus according to ID-Cooling is performance, thanks in part to the use of a 38 mm thick radiator which offers more surface area than the typical 27 mm offerings. It features daisy-chainable fans and a simplified mounting system, making it an interesting choice for newer DIY builders. However, the main focus will always be performance, and typically the fanciest of features will typically take a back seat to said performance. That said, it's time to take a closer look at the DX 360 MAX and find out just what it is capable of in the hyper-competitive CPU cooling market!
