ID-Cooling Zoomflow 360X Snow Edition AIO Cooler Review

Performance

Although we will discuss pricing in more detail as part of our concluding thoughts, in regards to its test performance, we should highlight the fact that the Zoomflow 360X Snow Edition AIO Cooler is not a premium-level product. It doesn’t cost you (comparatively) much money and, as such, high-end performance figures should not be expected from this design. You want ridiculously low CPU temperatures? – Then you have to pay for it!

So, with that little disclaimer out of the way, how did it fare? Well, at stock levels, surprisingly well. Although this is a 360mm cooler, which by proxy means it should do well merely on the grounds of volume, it provided temperature results that, in our very competitive list, saw it rubbing shoulders with some of the best coolers we’ve encountered.

Even in regards to acoustic performance, the results were (if we’re being honest) much better than we anticipated. Yes, the fans do make noise, and more so when working harder in overclocked settings, but they are by no means any louder than you would expect from any cooling product. If anything, we’d almost say they border on below-average noise output (which is good in case you didn’t know).

Speaking of overclocking though, is the Zoomflow 360X Snow Edition AIO Cooler a viable option in that regard? – Well, our test results clearly indicate that while it is clearly capable of keeping things well under control (and again, with low noise output), it isn’t this cooler’s strongest suit. – Put simply, if you only ever plan to run your CPU at stock levels (and based on modern processors, there very little to be gained by the average consumer level of overclocking these days), the Zoomflow 360X Snow Edition AIO Cooler does everything you want in keeping that CPU nice and cool while keeping the noise levels remarkably low.
