It is often not that the liquid radiator is currently under the radar. Many on the market are decorated with huge screens and more bling than a boxing match. Not Corsair Nautilus 360 RS. It is the highest quality liquid cooler with solid performance and low noise levels.
Available to USD 110/£ 110Nautilus is an inexpensive unit. This price places it in the league with very, very good liquid refrigerators, such as the Arctic liquid freezer III 360 Argb (and newer version of Pro) and chilly Masterliquid 360 Core II-$ 100-USD or below. This means that you pay a diminutive bonus for the Corsair badge on this, especially since it lacks no RGB lighting in these two models.
I have the impression that the clientele for this radiator will not be careful due to the lack of lighting. There is not a single LED on this particular unit, which makes it ideal for compilation of a computer without a window or one of the hidden, low -profile finish. It also has a benefit of simplifying the cables required for enrichment. The pump has only one 4-pin PWM cable and a single 4-pin PWM cable from fans. Three RS120 fans are connected together with standard, uncertain cables, ending with one longer PWM cable.
The lack of reserved cables is a great win in my books. I am now testing Corsair Icue Link Titan 360 RX LCD and after installing it in many machines I began to be quite frustrated with the number of cables, certain reserved, which requires. Nautilus is okay.
Nautilus 360 RS Specifications:
Corsair’s technical approach cannot be completely avoided, because you will have to scan the QR code to access Nautilus’s instructions, and the paper is not delivered in the box. Although you probably don’t need it, it is a fairly elementary installation process.
The installation is straightforward to Nautilus with long distance screws that attach to the supplied rear plate in Intel systems. They allow the radiator to rest on the spot when you grab your fingers crossed to block it. This process is more or less the same in AMD systems, reduced by the attached rear plate, because it is already installed, although you will have to remove the pre -equipped AMD bracket if someone is still attached to the motherboard.

One of my diminutive errors with many liquid coolers on the market, including Nautilus, is that the distance screws can become complex to remove when removing the liquid radiator. Most screw to the upper right right processor, which is located between VRM. Sometimes you have to get a few szelpc on them to remove them, and this is a bit sketchy with components that can be easily broken. I mention this, however, because the Corsair Icue Link Titan 360 RX actually solves this problem with long screws integrated with the pump support. I would like to see how this approach appeared in the rest of these models other than Icue, best.
Nautilus 360 RS has one trick in its sleeve to facilitate the installation: long tubes. Anyone who has ever struggled with miniature tubes on a liquid radiator will be ecstatic that Nautilus has 450 mm tubes, which are 50 mm longer than the average radiator. This has a gigantic difference if you plan to mount a liquid cooler at the front of the housing, which can sometimes lead to somewhat uncomfortable tubular voltage.
Although if you plan to orient this cooler in a different way than a regular mounting position (inlet/outlet towards the front of the housing), warn that you cannot rotate the Corsair logo on the pump unit. The facade leaves the pump, but it can only be attached in one way because of the strange, non -symmetrical structure of the clip. It seems to me that this is an straightforward win, which he did not miss for Corsair here.

In terms of performance, I was surprised, seeing that Nautilus competing with more high-priced titanium in many respects. Although it must be said that most AIO coolers tend to act very well and are separated by other functions, such as screens, lighting and noise levels. Nautilus is equipped with a low noise pump from the seemingly its own Korsair project-although Corsair does less confusion in the fact that it is internal than the Flowdrive pump found in Titan, so I can’t be sure. Either way, this is an effective tandem pump with these three RS 120 fans.
Nautilus has provided lower temperatures than Titan in both of our gaming tests, extended Baldur’s Gate 3 and Metro: Exodus Enhanced Edition, which is good to see. However, it ended at the higher end of the performance scale compared to other liquid coolers, which we tested this month. Not much, but the one who emphasizes to comparison is $ 100/£ 95 Cooler Master Masterliquid 360 Core II, which offers reliably lower temperatures than most radiator in our tests.
Ultimately, Nautilus works extremely like many other liquid coolers tested by us. Once again, driving a point home where most liquid cooler is, gives or takes, quite well nowadays. In fact, it is a value for money and noise levels, and in this last point I can report that Nautilus is quite good. Fans are not particularly deafening, although they only rotate to about 1700 rpm, which is lower than some at Max Throttle. The pump is one of the louder options that I tested, although not on such a margin that it will really make a noticeable difference after installing in the housing and with other fans spinning around it.
Buy if …
✅ You want a liquid radiator, nothing more: If you only care about the simplicity of efficiency and installation, this is a great way to give up unnecessary accessories and reserved cables.
Don’t buy if …
❌ You want the highest performance per dollar: Nautilus is right in a mixture for cooling capacity, but there are cheaper models such as the liquid freezer Arctic III or Cooler Master Masterliquid 360 Core II, which offer slightly lower temperatures for less.
There are several wide positives for Nautilus in terms of intensive processor tests. He maintained our Intel Core i7 14700K under control during waveforms and prevented huge jumps above 95 ° C. He also maintained the chip very chilly when we left the power to 120 W, which is our way to imitate a more energy -saving system (i.e. IE, all except the Intel generation). However, it took a little longer than others to return to inactivity after the prolonged Cinebench R23 gear, but enough enough to get a pass.
Regardless of whether you should buy Nautilus in relation to any other perfect liquid cooler, it boils down to price, appearance and long pipes. On the front of the valuation, he is defeated by Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 and the chilly Master Masterliquid 360 Core II, both comfortably under the sign of $ 100 at the moment and can surpass the forced in our tests. Rather, Corsair Nautilus 360 RS should be considered due to its blackout style, elementary configuration and any compilation that requires longer pipes. This makes it a bit more niche, but there is definitely something to consider.
