CPS DC360 Pro ARGB Display review of a stylish liquid cooling system

Just a few months ago we reviewed the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K with factory settings, but now we decided to push it to the limit with the Intelligent Overclocking features offered by the TUF GAMING Z890-PRO WIFI motherboard. To do this, we used the CPS DC360 Pro ARGB Display liquid cooling system, mounted in a case from the same brand: the C3 T500 ARGB. Below we will tell you what the results were of the tests we did with this cooling system that definitely steals the show.

Methodology

For this analysis, we activated the automatic overclocking through the motherboard’s artificial intelligence and used the XMP profile of the Kingston FURY RENEGADE memory to reach a speed of 8400 MT/s, trying to squeeze the maximum performance out of the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K.

The configuration we used was:

Gaming benchmarks were performed using the exact same configuration as the original GeForce RTX 5090 review.

Benchmark with Cyberpunk 2077

This title gave us an average of 211 fps using the Transformer graphics model, the same one used in the previous test.

Throughout the test, the CPU temperature stayed below 63°C/145ºF, which is remarkable considering that it was in overclocked mode. This speaks for the system’s excellent cooling, especially in one of the most demanding tests for the processor.

Installation

The process was easy thanks to the simplified brackets that make it easy to install whether your system is Intel or AMD. In addition, the kit already includes thermal grease.

A detail to note is that the fans come pre-installed and well packaged, with the cables hidden from the factory, which improves the aesthetics of the assembly.

Design

In this section, it is worth mentioning the design of the hoses and the clips that hold them in place. This is a subtle but effective detail that also contributes to the visual aspect of the assembly. Another plus point is that the system generates very little noise, even under heavy load.

To control the display, the system includes a cable with a USB connector directly to the motherboard. It is important to note that this cable may be a bit short for certain motherboard models, which could leave it exposed.

The system is available in two colors: black and white.
