Final Thoughts
From the start I knew that the AZZA Cube 360 was designed with a balance of performance and price in mind. I think AZZA has done a good job of providing a good looking cooler that is still capable of efficiently cooling your CPU. The thicker 35mm radiator, with its rectangular fin design, offers a good start to dissipating the heat inside your system. Unfortunately, I found that the fans included with this kit, while they look nice when lit up, just don’t have the airflow or static pressure to really take advantage of the thicker radiator. I do like the pump being integrated into the radiator however, and I think it probably has a positive effect on the flow of liquid through the low diameter fittings found on this cooler. It also takes away a cable from the waterblock, which helps clean up cable clutter.
Speaking of cable clutter, the included 120mm fans do support daisychaining, though not in the cable-less manner. It is better than nothing however, and is definitely a step in the right direction. Another step in the right direction, in my opinion, is the overall look of the cooler – I like the pyramid lighting design on the waterblock, and the mirrored center caps on the fans.
Installation was pretty straightforward, though mounting the block to the motherboard took a bit of finessing, but I think this is a side effect of the budget provided to the design of this cooler. A bit of work in the design process could easily remedy this issue, but seasoned builders will be able to work past it for a successful install. Overall, the AZZA Cube 360 is a good entry-level AIO that offers midrange performance while still looking good doing it. Exclusive to the US, the Cube series of coolers won’t be available for everyone. But for those in the US, you can find the AZZA Cube 360 for $99.99 at our favorite online retailer. The Cube 360 should be considered for budget builds, and earns an 7 out of 10.
