Team Group Launches Dual CPU and SSD Liquid Cooler

Team Group has launched a new AiO cooler which extends to chill not just your CPU but also your SSD. The descriptively named T-Force Siren DUO360 aRGB CPU and SSD AiO Liquid Cooler features a number of other key attractions — including compatibility with the latest CPUs / sockets like Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5, as well as claims that it can reduce your PCIe Gen 5.0 SSD temperatures by >50%.

Available in a frosty-looking white finish, the T-Force Siren DUO 360 aRGB CPU and SSD AiO cooler has a 360mm radiator and triple 120mm fans — about as powerful as is available for mainstream consumers today. With compatibility guaranteed for upcoming Intel 13th Gen Core ‘Raptor Lake’ CPUs, and the new AMD Ryzen 7000 ‘Raphael’ CPUs, it could be a good match for a higher end processor kicking out considerable heat under stress.

Another ‘hot’ component destined to be popular in the new / next-gen systems are M.2 SSDs that connect via a PCIe Gen 5.0 interface. These are attractive thanks to their potentially superb transfer speeds, but they can get hot under sustained loads — which raises the issue of thermal throttling. Many modern motherboards come with heatsinks for M.2 SSDs now, but enthusiast-grade PCIe 5.0 drives will likely require active cooling to ensure consistent performance. Thus, having an SSD cooling plate integrated with your AiO is a pretty attractive idea.

Team Group has done some of its own testing to measure the benefits of the SSD cooling provided by the T-Force Siren DUO360 aRGB CPU and SSD AiO Liquid Cooler using a bare T-Force Cardea SSD PCIe Gen4 x4 and a bare unnamed PCIe Gen5 SSD. The cooler seems to do a pretty good job of reducing both SSDs' temperatures while idle and while under full load.

The design appears competent overall, and the official specs show that appropriate components and materials have been used for this kind of device. Fan specs, speeds, and noise characteristics are all acceptable, and the cooling blocks are made of aluminum and both feature a copper contact plate. Team Group backs its product with a two-year warranty. 

The cooler has also been designed with some visual flair. In addition to the striking white livery, there are addressable RGB zones a-plenty. Each of the three hydraulic bearing fans has its own set of aRGB LEDs; there's also a circular dual mirror aRGB water block mounted to the CPU; as well as a detachable magnetic aRGB modules that can fit on the SSD water block (or anywhere else you like).

The lighting effects delivered by this T-Force AiO cooler can be controlled and synced with all the usual mainstream systems: Asus Aura Sync, ASRock-Polychrome Sync, Biostar Advanced Vivid LED DJ, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and so on. Some of Team Group’s official product photos show the 360mm AiO in an attractive, mostly-white build.

The T-Force Siren DUO360 aRGB CPU and SSD AiO Liquid Cooler will be available starting in November, and will cost $399.

    Might want to re-word that so that it doesn't read like a dual CPU AIO (which would be far more interesting)

    I'm always amazed at the RGB infatuation. Must be a lot of 13 year old kids sitting around watching their AIO glow in the dark. <LOL>

    Since there are no available enthusiast Gen 5 SSDs this AIO won't be needed until probably late '23.

    I'm 39 and I love rgb. It's not for everyone though, and that's why companies make coolers without rgb.

    I am 43 and still love strong colours and RGB lights so have nothing to do with age. I think some of us just have brains wired in a way that we get extra excited when exposed to fun lights. It not only looks cool but also impacts the overall ambiance of a room which is a positive thing as you can change it all up. For those that do not like RGB you can always disable the RGB or just run it with a static white or blue colour.

    As for this specific product, I do not think it is the best idea since that SSD will contribute to the heat soaking of the radiator so the CPU cooling then gets reduced. Better to just have the SSD cooled by a separate 120 mm radiator if you want to go that route.

    Yikes. Thermaltake had a similar implementation, but with cpu and ram.

    Liquid coolers like that have become fewer in number over time. There are LEDs SOMEWHERE, even on the really subtle ones.
    Non-(A)RGB versions look to be slowly phasing out.

    Even if that is the case, some users are not OK paying extra for a feature they don't want/see.
    Looking around with the aid of partpicker, I see charges between 10-30 quid more for those LEDs on models that have (A)RGB and non-(A)RGB versions.
    That money can be saved for later, used towards an extra fan(s) or other component, groceries, a cup of coffee or whatever.

    I used to swap the power and hard drive activity LEDs to more vibrant colors back in the day. I don't go out of my way for RGB, but most of the motherboards I buy and some components tend to have it these days. So I set it up, usually to a single color, and forget about it.

    Only have a clear side panel so I can see my water cooling reservoir really. (Though I have run in the past not being able to see it)

    I don't necessarily care one way or the other for RGB and strobe lighting, however, I have a completely fanless tower. I can't tell its on unless it's lit up in one way or another. I mean, yeah, the monitors.

    I enjoy LED lighting on the board.

    With this dual cooler how to get it to work with legacy X570 motherboards with their cursed monolithic SSD heatsink and chipset fan housings? It was the one thing I didn't like when I bought my current rig but at the time I was mostly worried about having to take all of my expansion cards out in order to add or change SSDs which has already happened three times. I know it is directed at newer motherboards but there are a lot of those X570 boards out there (and some B550 boards too) with those combination SSD heatsinks. That is a big chunk of the market to ignore. Sure the cooler might be overkill for a Gen 4 SSD but many people would want one anyway.

    On the subject of lighting I'm 66 and enjoy adding RGB/aRGB lighting to my PC builds (I do about a half dozen a year for family and friends). A little light show doesn't hurt.

    I like RGB, but I don't like it when it's excessive. My main system has a slow 'breathing' effect in blue, which matches my case color. I'm not a fan of the blinding rainbow explosions with all the movement around and whatnot. That's too much, in my opinion. Nor do I require RGB SSDs, PSUs, cables, mousepads or condensed air, thanks. To each their own however. There's no right or wrong answers.

    I don't love rgb, but I miss The turbo button and The small clock old style 33mhz 66mhz lol
