COUGAR Poseidon Elite ARGB White 360 liquid cooler

COUGAR Poseidon Elite ARGB White 360

The COUGAR Poseidon Elite ARGB White 360 is a closed-loop liquid cooler built for mainstream and enthusiast desktop processors. It supports a wide range of AMD and Intel sockets including AM2, AM3, AM4, AM5, FM1, FM2, LGA 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 1200, 1366 and 1700. The copper cold plate transfers heat to a 360 mm aluminium radiator. This unit suits builders who want a white-themed AIO with addressable lighting.

Build quality and daily connections

The pump housing measures 82.9 x 73.3 x 50.7 mm and uses a copper base for direct die contact. Three 120 x 120 x 25 mm fans mount on the radiator, each running 500 to 2200 RPM ±10% and delivering 62.53 CFM at 33.5 dB(A). Fans connect via a 2510 4-pin PWM header while the ARGB LEDs use a standard 5V 3-pin connector. The 400 mm tubes provide routing flexibility for mid-tower and full-tower cases. Builders needing a smaller radiator or different tube length cannot use this model.

Practical limits of the 360 mm AIO standard

A 360 mm radiator requires three adjacent 120 mm fan mounts, which not all cases provide. The fixed 400 mm tube length may restrict placement in very large chassis or unconventional layouts. The pump operates on a 2510 4-pin PWM signal, so the motherboard must supply that header type for speed control. ARGB lighting needs a 5V 3-pin header or a compatible controller; systems with only 12V 4-pin RGB cannot drive the LEDs. Users without these headers or mounting space should consider alternative cooling solutions.
