Packaging

The packaging follows ID-Cooling's signature black and orange design, with the top showcasing the FX360 INF in its bright ARGB illuminated glory. The right side features minimal details, displaying only the ID-Cooling branding. However, the bottom reveals the full specifications, including support for Intel's upcoming LGA1851 socket.


The other panels are pretty simple, just showing the product name and company logo. It would've been nice to have the warranty length printed somewhere for convenience, but I get why it might be left off with different regional rules. All in all, the packaging is pretty standard—nothing too flashy or out of the ordinary.

Inside the box, ID-Cooling used plenty of foam to ensure the cooler and its parts stay secure during shipping, which puts a smile on my face. While a standard cardboard tray remains adequate, coolers and components surrounded by foam packaging usually hold up far better during shipping.


Intel and AMD socket support is good with all the mainstream sockets supported. AMD and Intel HEDT platforms have been left out, but it's not a major concern for this price point. Furthermore, the unit is ready to go out of the box for Intel's next generation LGA1851 socket which, while not truly praiseworthy in and of itself, is still nice to see. Beyond that everything you need is provided, but there's no miscellaneous extras to be found. The only aspect of the mounting hardware worth noting is the two sets of AMD mounting brackets. One set is short and one set is long, thus allowing you to install the pump block in any orientation you need for clearance or visual aesthetics depending on your build, and is a nice touch since it opens up more possibilities for AMD users compared to other designs.
