DEEPCOOL MYSTIQUE 360 LCD 360mm AiO Water Cooling Kit for Intel LGA2066 / 2011 / 1851/ 1700 / 1200 / 1151 / 1150 / 1155 AMD AM5 / AM4 / TR4 / sTRX4/s

A very nice looking AIO with good heft and a clean looking finish. The supplied fans are good quality, quiet at low speeds, and they push air with a lot of force at higher RPMs. The copper plate on the pump is quite large, and the display on the pump will orient itself the right way no matter which direction you decide to place the hose outlets. It also has some coloured side panels which. An add extra glow to the CPU zone.

In professional tests, the 360 Mystique performs well. In some tests it beats the Lian Li Galahad and Artic Freezer AIOs, especially in sound limited tests.

In professional tests, the 360 Mystique performs well. In some tests it beats the Lian Li Galahad and Artic Freezer AIOs, especially in sound limited tests. It cools better at lower fan/pump speeds than the coolers mentioned above.

Mine is cooling an i7 14700k, using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut TIM. At stock settings (including the basic microcode fix for overvolting) the Mystique kept my CPU at 73-75 degrees during a 100% stress test where the CPU drew about 230 watts. That’s better than what my X-62 Kraken could do for my i7 8700K using 125 watts.

With some tweaking in the BIOs to undervolt the CPU, that temperature reduced even more, and running just the 8 Power Cores at 5.5Ghz at 100% (177 watts) creates just 66 degrees Celcius of heat! That’s better than an air cooler on a much less powerful CPU would managed. You could run 66 C constantly, the Mystique 360 is creating a respectable amount of thermal headroom. No throttling due to temperature on any tests so far.

Once CPU load drops, measured temperature instantly drops by 20-25 degrees, before normalising even more in a short time, showing how much heat is being soak and how quickly the cooler dissipates it.

Note: on first release, users had trouble caused by the Deepcool software, which caused the pump display to stop working or not be detected by the system. However, the software has gone from version 1.0.0.1 to 1.0.0.20 since then, and recent reviews haven’t mentioned that issue. There is a connection for the screen to sync to a RGB controller.
However, you can run the AIO without using the specific software, which I have been doing initially, and I have not had any problems. It works great just from the BIOS (you just don’t have the pump screen/read-outs/gifs etc, but the hardware is excellent).

PROS:
- amongst the best 360mm AIOs in 2024, with a clean, modern design and 2.8 inch display
- very quiet at low-moderate load
- can manage the heat of 20-core processors drawing 200 watts+
- You can enjoy a well designed, technically advanced cooler not available in the USA

CONS:
-None, unless you have an LCD screen software issue but this appears to have been resolved
-Can be tricky to plug in the separate wires from the pump; check the various set up videos on YouTube

Got this on a sale and I have been very happy with it's performance cooling my 13700kf CPU and giving me info on the temp, CPU clock and usage.
Also great to put on the odd gif when the you feel the need. I love it, for the price its function and performance cant be beat Got this on a sale and I have been very happy with it's performance cooling my 13700kf CPU and giving me info on the temp, CPU clock and usage.

This works well, but made my case a lot noisier than expected. Replaced the fans with Noctua ones, and very little difference. Spending a bit more time it now sounds like the pump itself is making a cyclic humming. Its not water bubbles I don't think, as I've had those on other AIOs and its always sounded different. Its a very 'electrical' sound, not a 'mechanical' sound if that makes sense.

That being said, it keeps the CPU (Ryzen 7 9800X3D) nice and cool at around 30C during most use. When hitting the CPU at 100% across all cores for multiple hours then temp got to 81C, but dropped down to 36C after only about 30 seconds of going to...view more This works well, but made my case a lot noisier than expected.

The software for the LCD is very good. So much better than the ASUS ROG RYUJIN III 360 I have on my other machine (which is terrible).

I bought the DEEPCOOL LS520 Premium 240mm for my daughters PC a while ago, and that is silent, so a little disappointed in the noise level. That's why I removed 2 stars. I'm not removing any for the fan noise, as that's on me making an assumption and replacing them before confirming the source of the noise. The supplied fans are close enough to $150 worth of top shelf replacements that I think they were probably pretty damn good.
