A Closer Look

The radiator is your standard design used with many all-in-one liquid coolers. It is aluminium and has the Ocypus logo on the side which adds a small visual element to the design. Beyond that it's your standard boxy 360 mm radiator. Taking a closer look at the fittings they are a deep gray color while the tubing features a braided sleeve to improve the overall visual design. In regard to the radiator's FPI (fins-per-inch) I measured 20, which falls right in line with most liquid coolers, as the typical range is usually 20-21 FPI. This means in terms of heat dissipation performance it should be in line with most other offerings, coolant flow and the fans will be the deciding factor. As for the tubing length it is listed as 400 mm.


To make the Iota L36 stand out, Ocypus added a digital display to the pump, paired with a sleek curved cover and ARGB accent lighting to serve as the centerpiece. The aluminium body gives it a premium touch, and the pump delivers 3100 RPM performance. The wiring harness is positioned between the swivel fittings, which isn't my favorite choice since it can limit rotation range. That said, in this instance the wiring doesn't interfere with the fittings' range of motion, therefore it is not an issue and more a personal pet peeve. Finally, the copper base is slightly convex with only minimal machining marks being visible.


When it comes to fans Ocypus has a slightly unique design. The frame has rounded elements that tie in with the pump design while the center hub with its orange O from Ocypus adds a nice visual element that is leagues better than a generic sticker. As for the fans themselves they are labeled as Iota F12 (DF1202512CM) and as is the norm are PWM models. The RPM range is listed as 500-2000 with a max airflow of 77 CFM. While the fans do look nice they do not feature ARGB lighting.
