All-white appearance and screen blessing, stabilized voltage and full load of 300W, Yingchi Xingyao G360 liquid cooling radiator evaluation
Design
The latest G360 all-in-one CPU liquid cooler is designed in pure white, and the overall shape is simple and elegant, which complements the modern chassis style. The heatsink is diamond-cut, and the water block and fan housing are made of clear plastic, which is pleasing to the eye when illuminated.
In addition to its outstanding appearance, the biggest highlight of the G360 is that it is equipped with a 2.4-inch IPS full-color LCD display. With a resolution of 320x240, 500 nits of brightness, and 24-bit true color, the display delivers detailed and lifelike images. Users can customize the display content through the accompanying BOOMSTAR software, which can not only display real-time hardware monitoring data, but also play personalized pictures, animations, etc., adding a lot of ornamentation to the inside of the case.
Core components
The cold head of the G360 adopts a three-phase nine-stage high-speed motor with a maximum speed of 3000RPM, and an improved bionic impeller design to ensure efficient water circulation and quickly remove the heat generated by the CPU. The bottom of the cold head adopts a large-area copper base, which can fully cover the CPU heat source and ensure good thermal conductivity.
The radiator fan is also outstanding, using a 12CM high-performance PWM fan with a maximum speed of 2000RPM, a maximum air pressure of 3.0mmH2O, and a maximum air volume of 78CFM. The fan adopts HDB dynamic hydraulic bearing and lubricating oil film technology, which effectively reduces noise and prolongs service life. The fan blades have a streamlined design with a CD texture in the center, which is both aesthetically pleasing and helps to increase airflow.
Thermal performance
To test the actual cooling capability of the G360, we used the Intel i7-14700K processor (20 cores) as the test platform. Under the default settings, the power consumption of this CPU can easily exceed 300W, which is a big test for the heatsink.
It is gratifying that after a long time of baking test, the Xingyao G360 can stabilize the voltage of the i7-14700K and operate at a high power consumption of 340W, and the heat dissipation performance is excellent. Generally speaking, a heat dissipation power level above 300W is sufficient for the overclocking needs of high-end processors. Better silicone grease and improved pump efficiency help to further improve heat dissipation.
Price and value for money
The initial price of the G360 all-in-one CPU liquid cooler is 499 yuan, which is basically the same as the price of the ordinary 360 liquid cooler. However, with its outstanding design, screen blessing and excellent heat dissipation performance, this product undoubtedly has a higher cost performance advantage.
Yingchi officially provides a 5-year warranty service for the G360, giving consumers sufficient quality assurance. For enthusiasts who pursue a personalized and high-quality experience, this 499 yuan water cooling radiator is undoubtedly a very worthy choice.
