With thermal demands skyrocketing in recent years, Cooler Master has come up with an idea for a cooler than can handle the heat. It's called the Project AIO Liquid Cooling Solution, and it's able to deal with up to 2000 W.
It's hard to miss the new prototype at Cooler Master HQ in Taiwan. The huge four-fan radiator required for the unit takes up the entire backside of its larger gaming and workstation cases. Four 180 mm fans, the same size as those found on its upcoming Silencio 600 case, whirring as a solid wall of airflow.
Cooler Master says this larger fan size can reduce noise levels by 20%.
From the name alone, the 360 Hyper Radiator sounds like nothing more than a standard 360 mm unit, but it's actually 360 x 360. As far as I can tell, it's a single unit, which with the fans has a high thermal capacity of up to 2000 W.
Some flexi tubing is used to connect to the large blocks that connect to both CPU and GPU. So this single cooling solution will be up to the job of cooling both at the same time. With this sort of headroom, it can manage a high core count CPU and an RTX 5090, or two, without any issue.
Though it's called an AIO, it looks to be more of a DIY liquid cooling setup. Though perhaps the final product will be pre-assembled and filled.
It's just a mockup today and I don't have details on when it might arrive in the market. Cooler Master does seem intent on bringing the product to workstations, at least, but whether it makes the leap to gaming, I don't know.
Project AIO was displayed within a Cosmos PC case at the event, which suggests that it is compatible with at least one of Cooler Master's consumer cases.
