Introduction

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

ID-Cooling continues to grow brand awareness. Since its founding in 2013, it has rapidly expanded its market presence while improving by leaps and bounds with each product release. Initially, they were heavily dependent on value-focused designs. Still, over time, ID-Cooling has continued to improve and adapt to market forces, pushing towards more premium products and better warranties. Meanwhile, they continued testing out entirely new designs and trends. This brings us full circle to the ID-Cooling known today that, besides having excellent entry-level air coolers and a plethora of liquid CPU coolers, is now actively looking to stake its claim in the premium all-in-one liquid cooler market.

The ID-Cooling Dashflow 360 XT will be the focus of today’s review, and while this all-in-one liquid cooler feels much the same as its competitors, it differs significantly regarding minor details. For example, the Dashflow 360 XT may be a 360 mm liquid cooler; however, underneath the aluminium pump cover sits a 70 mm fan for cooling both the motherboard VRM and your system memory. Furthermore, they include a fourth ARGB fan that matches the radiator fans so you can complete your ARGB build. For example, with a front-mounted radiator and fans, you can add the fourth 120 mm fan to the rear exhaust giving a more balanced look to your system as the fans will match. While it may be a minor difference for some, for those that prefer matching looks, this may stand out. That aside, the most important aspect of any cooler is the performance, so let’s take a closer look and see what ID-Cooling’s latest premium liquid cooler can do!
