The PC cooling landscape is bustling with options, and while many brands dominate the market, new players occasionally emerge to shake things up. Kingcool, established just last year, offers an exciting alternative. Although new to the market, their team has decades of experience designing GPU heatsinks, and they’re now channeling that expertise into CPU coolers. Kingcool’s Pure Flow series, featuring high-end all-in-one (AIO) coolers, demonstrates their innovative approach.
Introducing the Kingcool Pure Flow AIO Coolers
Kingcool’s latest offering, the Pure Flow AIO cooler, comes in both 360mm and 240mm variants, available in sleek black and white finishes. With a unique waterblock-inspired design, these coolers are set to make a statement in any PC build. The 360mm version supports both Intel and AMD platforms, including the newest LGA 1700/1851/115x and AM5/AM4 sockets.
Technical Specifications and Features
Featuring a striking matte white finish, the Pure Flow 360mm radiator is designed to complement white PC builds beautifully. The aluminum fins are coated with the same white paint, contributing to its sophisticated appearance. The entire unit measures 397x120x27mm, positioning it as a high-performance cooling solution. Equipped with three daisy-chained 120mm FDB fans, each capable of reaching up to 2000 RPM, the cooler ensures efficient heat dissipation while minimizing cable clutter.
The Kingcool Pure Flow pump, housed in a transparent enclosure, adds a touch of elegance with its visible coolant flow and ARGB LED effects. The pump’s full-plate, screwless copper base enhances water-tightness, providing reliable system operation.
Performance Review and Conclusion
Testing the Pure Flow 360 involved pairing it with an AORUS X670E Xtreme motherboard, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU, 32 GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB memory, and a ROG THOR II 1000W PSU. Utilizing the Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL chassis, the cooler was mounted at the top due to its mirror panel front. The Kingcool Pure Flow 360 provides comparable temperatures to many mainstream 360mm AIO coolers, while being competitively priced below $100 US.
