9. Corsair Nautilus 360 RS LCD
Brilliant IPS LCD display
Showcase CPU temperature, animated GIFs, memes or your team's logo on a clear 480 x 480 IPS screen at 30 FPS, illuminated by an ultra-bright 600 cd/m² backlight and over 16.7 million colours. The iCUE software offers full GIPHY integration within the app, giving you access to thousands of your favourite memes and GIFs.
Flowdrive cooling motor
Developed by Corsair's expert engineers, the pump is powered by a three-phase motor that offers a higher flow rate and even lower noise levels than its predecessors. Add to that a precision-engineered cold plate surface that maximises contact with your CPU's IHS, and you have the recipe for consistently lower temperatures.
Easy installation
Simply connect the included cable to an available USB 2.0 (9-pin) header on your motherboard to power and control the LCD display. That's all you need to do.
Maximum contact
The slightly curved design ensures optimal contact with your CPU's integrated heat spreader, with thermal paste applied in an optimised pattern to speed up installation.
High airflow and static pressure
RS fans efficiently push air through the cooler, while Corsair AirGuide technology and magnetic dome bearings provide powerful cooling with low noise.
Daisy-chaining connections
Minimise cable clutter in your system by daisy-chaining your RS fans to a single 4-pin PWM header on your motherboard.
Quiet and efficient
The efficient, low-noise pump circulates coolant at a high flow rate at a whisper-quiet 20 dBA. PWM control allows the fan speed to be set up to 2,100 RPM, with support for Zero RPM mode for quiet operation.
