Phanteks has officially expanded its cooling lineup with the introduction of the 360M25 LCD, a new All-In-One (AIO) liquid CPU cooler designed to balance high-end thermal performance with the modern trend of “in-case” customisation. Following the success of their previous M25 series, this updated model integrates a high-resolution display directly onto the pump block, allowing users to monitor their system or show off custom visuals.
Tell Me More
The standout feature of the 360M25 LCD is, unsurprisingly, the 2.8-inch IPS display. This screen isn’t just for show; it provides real-time data on your CPU’s vitals or can be used to display personalised GIFs and images via Phanteks’ own software. Under the hood, Phanteks has stuck with a proven formula, using a high-performance pump and a 360mm radiator to ensure it can handle the heat loads of modern multi-core processors from both Intel and AMD.
The cooler comes equipped with three M25-120 D-RGB fans, known for their high airflow-to-noise ratio. These fans are daisy-chainable, which is a massive win for cable management, reducing the usual “spaghetti” mess behind the motherboard tray.
Key Features and Specifications
- 2.8-inch IPS Display: 480 x 480 resolution for clear system stats or custom animations.
- M25-120 Fans: Optimized for high static pressure to push air efficiently through the radiator fins.
- Integrated D-RGB: Fully controllable lighting that syncs with the rest of your Phanteks gear or motherboard software.
- Simplified Installation: Features a pre-filled loop and a mounting system compatible with Intel LGA 1700/1200/115x and AMD AM4/AM5 sockets.
- Quiet Operation: A refined pump motor designed to minimise vibration and noise during heavy workloads.
What We Think
It’s great to see Phanteks bringing an LCD option to their more mainstream “M” series. While many LCD coolers carry a massive price premium, the M25 line has always focused on providing solid performance without the “luxury tax” of the premium Glacier models. For builders who want that “cyberpunk” aesthetic or need to keep a close eye on temperatures while gaming without using an on-screen overlay, the 360M25 LCD looks like a very tempting upgrade.
Where to Buy
The Phanteks 360M25 LCD is expected to hit major retailers such as Overclockers UK and Scan shortly. It will be available in both Black and White finishes to suit your specific build theme.
