Antec Vortex View 360 Review - Big Screen, Serious Cooling

Today, we’re taking a look at the Antec Vortex View 360, a premium 360mm AIO cooler built around Asetek’s latest 9th-generation pump design, featuring an integrated 5-inch 360-degree rotatable IPS display. On paper, Antec is targeting both strong thermal performance and a high level of visual customisation with the Vortex View 360. In this review, we’ll be testing installation, build quality, acoustics and, of course, thermal performance to see how it compares against other 360mm AIOs. 00:00 Intro 00:44 Pricing and key details 01:42 Closer look - radiator 03:29 CPU block + screen! 07:00 Tranquil fans 08:19 Other accessories 09:09 Installation process 10:30 Screen software 11:41 Acoustics and thermals 13:48 Closing thoughts AMD Test System Specification – (Cooler Test Bench) • CPU – AMD Ryzen 9 9950X • Motherboard – ASRock Phantom Gaming X870E Nova WiFi • Memory: 32GB (2 x 16GB Modules) Kingston Fury DDR5-6000 • Graphics card: MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT Gaming X • Storage: 1TB Corsair MP600 Elite PCIe Gen4x4 NVME M.2 SSD • Power Supply: Seasonic Prime TX-1000 • Chassis: Open Test Bench • Thermal Compound: Arctic MX-6 • O/S: Windows 11 Version 24H2 Pros: • Solid thermal performance in all testing scenarios. • Relatively Low noise at max fan speed. • Big screen looks great when configured.
