Review Summary

The T-Force Siren GA360 is a solid AIO liquid cooler with great performance for its price. It features A-RGB lighting, a durable aluminum radiator, and PWM-controlled fans, though it can get a bit noisy at full speed. The cooler is easy to install and compatible with both Intel and AMD sockets. However, the cable clutter and high noise at full speeds are some minor drawbacks. Overall, it’s a good choice for those seeking efficient cooling with customizable lighting effects.

Closer Look

It is time to take a closer look at the components starting with the radiator itself.

Radiator

Radiator
Radiator (Image By Tech4Gamers)

The radiator is made of aluminum material. The assembly is in black color finish. The radiator measures 394x120x27mm which is almost a standard size in this product category. It has 20 FPI count and there are 12x channels for the coolant flow. There is a standard 105mm gap between any two opposite eend mounting holes.

 

I am showing the tube side of the radiator. You can see barb fittings with clamps on the connection. There is a sticker showing the serial number and power rating of the unit. There is a T-Force branding on the side frame of the main housing. There is a considerable gap between the actual fin stack and the side frame. The rubber tubes have mesh sleeves over them, and they run to 400mm in length. The complete unit is black.

Pump Housing

The pump housing is made of ABS and measures 64x64x38 mm. The top section has a shiny black finish. The entire area is A-RGB backlit for vivid effects.

The lower section has a matte finish. It has a USB Type-C port, which is a strange implementation. An A-RGB cable is connected to this port. This cable has a 3-pin, 5V, A-RGB connector on the other end.

Looking at the top of the main block, you will see T-Force branding on one end. This is a fixed sticker that needs to be placed up-right, which affects the block’s orientation.

Block Back Design

Looking at the backside of the block, there are two 90ᵒ connections between tube and fittings. You can slide the tubes as per the requirement. There is a single flat cable coming out of the housing. Teamgroup could have attached the A-RGB cable here as well.

There is also a 4-pin PWM connector powering the pump motor. The pump is rated for 2800 ± 10% RPM using 0.35A, 4.0W power. Its flow rate is 80 ml/min. Its noise level is rated at 20 dBA.

Copper Base

The copper base is circular and it comes with a pre-applied thermal paste which is a typical Asetek design. There is no thermal paste tube in the accessories which should have been provided. The base is large enough to cover the IHS of latest CPUs.

Fan

Teamgroup has provided 3x black colored, A-RGB fans with this cooler. Each fan has 7x frosted blades that are connected to an outer frame that rotates as well. There is a slope down design on the frame border. Each mounting corner has an anti-vibration rubber pad.

There is a 4-arms assembly on the backside of the frame. One arm has a wider body to catch the wires coming out from the center of the fan. The frame has same slope down design on the back as well. These fans are rated for 600 to 2200 (± 300) RPM speed generating 70.07 CFM airflow and 3.88mmH₂O air pressure.

The frame is quite sturdy and there are arrow symbols on the side frame showing the direction in which blades spin and the direction of airflow through the fan.

Each fan is PWM-controlled. Teamgroup has mentioned this is AI-enabled PWM control, which, quite honestly, does not make sense. Each fan has dual 3-pin, 5V, A-RGB connectors for lighting effects. These connectors allow for a daisy chain.

Installation

The cooler is tested on the Intel LGA1700 socket. Here are the installation steps:

  1. Place the backplate over the backside of the motherboard.
  2. Secure the backplate using the LGA1700 standoff screws.
  3. Place the block over the CPU, such as the threaded ends of the standoff screws passes through the mounting holes of the bracket.
  4. Use the thumb screws to complete this part of the installation.
  5. Install fans over the radiator.
  6. Install radiator.
  7. Connect cables and you are good to go.

Clearance

This unit has an overall dimension of 394x120x53mm with installed fans. Make sure your PC Case has a support for 360mm size cooler.

A-RGB Lighting

This cooler uses standard A-RGB connectors, making it compatible with the RGB sync technology of motherboard manufacturers, including:

  • ASUS Aura Sync
  • ASROCK-Polychrome Sync
  • BIOSTAR Advanced VIVID LED DJ
  • GIGABYTE RGB Fusion 2.0
  • MSI Mystic Light Sync

The cooler was tested on MSI Z790 ACE MAX, and it was responding well to the changes in the MSY Mystic Light sync app. Here are a few pictures:

Teamgroup Siren G360 Test Results

Our Test Results
Our Test Results (Image By Tech4Gamers)

The Teamgroup T-Force Siren GA360 offers good performance in this price range, although it is a bit noisy at full speed.

Should You Buy It?

Buy It If

✅You are looking for a well-balanced liquid cooler: Teamgroup T-Force Siren GA360 packs a good performance, particularly on the latest platform, and offers stunning visuals, making it a formidable cooling solution.

✅You prefer standard connections: This cooler uses standard connectors all around, making its handling and servicing convenient.

Don’t Buy It If

❌You want less cable clutter: There are three cables per fan and two cables on the pump housing. This cooler is not free of cable clutter and you will need to cable manage it during installation.

My Thoughts

I tested Siren DUO 360 earlier from Teamgroup. This time, I have taken a look at the T-Force Siren GA360. This is a new cooler from Teamgroup based on Asetek’s 7th-generation V2 pumps. Using these pumps, the goal is to reduce the power consumption of the pump motor while generating a better flow rate for better heat dissipation.

Teamgroup has used rubber tubes with mesh sleeves running to a 400mm length. The connections use clamps for concealment. The pump is rated for 2800 ± 10% RPM speed consuming 0.35A and 4W (max) power. Its flow rate is 80 ml/min.

Teamgroup has used 3x 120mm black, A-RGB fans rated for up to 2200 RPM while generating 70.07 CFM airflow and 3.88mmH₂O air pressure. Their bearing type is not mentioned. These fans are PWM regulated, and there are dual 3-pin, 5V A-RGB connectors for lighting control. Teamgroup has also provided a 3-way PWM Splitter cable to daisy-chain the fans.

The block features a new look with all-round A-RGB backlighting on the top. Teamgroup has used a USB-C port for A-RGB lighting on the block. The copper base has pre-applied thermal paste. There is no extra thermal paste provided with the cooler.

The installation is simple. I have tested this cooler on an Intel LGA1700 socket. It requires 9 items to install the block over the CPU in 4 steps. This cooler has performed quite well to tame the 13700k, although the overall noise level is a bit high. This unit retails at USD 139.99 and comes with a 5-year warranty.
