The most distinctive feature of the NEOX 360 is its 6.67-inch L-shaped curved IPS display. The screen wraps seamlessly from the front face across the side profile, presenting a unified black finish with a sleek silver outer frame when powered off. Featuring 2K resolution and a 60 Hz refresh rate, it supports customizable images, videos, animations, and real-time hardware monitoring via dedicated software.

Turning to the back of the display module reveals the central mounting structure, a USB Type-C port, and passive ventilation cutouts. The screen requires no exposed screws to mount onto the pump block, utilizing a magnetic attachment system for effortless installation and removal.

The rear of the display module incorporates a hollowed-out ventilation structure, while the central bracket anchors to the pump block below. The bracket offers multi-tier vertical height adjustment, allowing builders to reposition the display to avoid physical conflicts with oversized VRM heatsinks or tall memory modules.

The white edition of the NEOX 360 features an all-white color palette covering the radiator, fans, braided tubing, pump housing, and connecting cables. The three 120 mm fans come pre-installed on the radiator out of the box; builders only need to ensure the airflow direction matches their case configuration before mounting the radiator and pump block.

Viewing the unit from above shows the complete layout: a 360 mm radiator paired with three 120 mm fans, connected to the X6M-P pump block via two white braided liquid tubes. The radiator side profile incorporates embossed TCOMAS lettering and geometric accent lines, adding tactile depth to the monochrome finish.

The two 400 mm coolant tubes utilize durable EPDM rubber sleeved in white braided mesh. High-grade metallic collar sleeves stamped with the TCOMAS logo reinforce the junction points at the radiator, accompanied by movable cable organizer clips along the tubing.

Measuring 397 × 119.2 × 29.2 mm, the aluminum radiator features densely stacked corrugated fins to maximize thermal exchange surface area between the coolant and airflow. With a 29.2 mm core thickness, the assembled radiator and 25 mm fan stack measures approximately 54.2 mm thick, requiring clearance verification in compact cases.

The top of the pump housing integrates four circular magnetic mounting points alongside symmetrical USB Type-C ports on the left and right. This dual-port design allows the curved display to rotate 180 degrees depending on tube orientation, preventing inverted visuals.

Two primary cable leads extend from the water block: an internal USB 2.0 connector for display data transfer and software telemetry, and a standard 4-pin PWM connector that plugs into the motherboard AIO_PUMP header for power delivery and pump speed control.

The base features an expansive pure copper cold plate, transferring heat away from the processor IHS. The contact surface comes pre-applied with TGB300 high-performance thermal compound, allowing direct mounting as soon as the protective bottom cover is peeled off.

The standard NEOX 360 package includes three M-ONE 120 mm fans equipped with seven interlocking milky-white blades and a centered TCOMAS badge. Anti-vibration rubber pads on all four corners absorb mechanical resonances during high-speed operation.

Operating across a wide 600 to 3000 RPM range, the M-ONE fan delivers up to 75.5 CFM of airflow and 6.05 mmAq of static pressure, optimized to push air through dense radiator fins. The semi-translucent frosted blades evenly diffuse the center hub ARGB lighting across the entire rotor.

Each M-ONE fan features short-run jumper leads that daisy-chain through an included harness, consolidating into a single 4-pin PWM and 5V 3-pin ARGB header. This significantly minimizes cable clutter routed to the motherboard. (Note: The standard NEOX 360 uses integrated wired daisy-chaining, whereas the NEOX PRO variant features magnetic Pogo Pin connectors.)

TCOMAS NEOX 360 Dual-Platform Installation & Thermal Paste Contact Verification / Intel LGA1700 & AMD AM5 Brackets

For Intel platform assembly, begin by fastening the corresponding mounting brackets to both sides of the copper cold plate, positioning the four spring-loaded nuts around the base perimeter. The bracket arms provide slight play, allowing micro-adjustments to align smoothly with the four threaded standoffs during motherboard installation.

Next, align the included backplate against the rear of the Intel motherboard and thread the four standoffs into place from the front. With the standoffs securely seated on the LGA1700 platform, place the water block over the processor and torque down the four spring-loaded nuts diagonally in progressive stages to apply balanced mounting pressure across the CPU integrated heat spreader (IHS).

After completing the initial fastening, the water block was removed to inspect thermal paste compression and spread. Examination of both the copper cold plate and CPU heat spreader reveals a complete, uniform spread reaching edge-to-edge across the contact zone, with prominent imprint marks across the center and perimeter. No dry voids or localized pooling were observed, confirming that the Intel bracket delivers optimal clamping pressure and planar contact.

For the AMD platform, replace the lateral mounting brackets with the dedicated AMD brackets. The AMD spring screws align with the outer boundaries of the copper base and thread directly into the motherboard's pre-installed stock backplate, eliminating the need to swap backplates on AM5 or AM4 motherboards.

Installation involves unscrewing the factory plastic retention clips while retaining the stock backplate, positioning the block over the screw holes, and tightening down diagonally in successive stages. Removing the block after mounting confirms the paste spread concentrates squarely across the active compute die zone of the Ryzen processor, leaving clear rectangular imprints with no one-sided bias or central gaps, verifying proper clamping force on AM5.

Following assembly, thermal evaluations were conducted using the Intel Core i9-14900K system mounted on an open test bench. The 360 mm radiator and three M-ONE fans were positioned directly above the motherboard, with the 6.67-inch curved display centered over the processor socket and the twin 400 mm braided tubes routing gracefully from the left side of the block up to the radiator. The generous tubing length accommodates clean routing without interfering with DDR5 memory modules or the primary PCIe graphics card slot.

Powering on the fan lighting and pump display, the three M-ONE fans diffuse vibrant ARGB illumination across their frosted semi-translucent blades, while the wrap-around curved display renders default animations, custom graphics, and system telemetry metrics. In low-light environments, the curved display and radiant radiator fans become the unmistakable centerpiece of the entire build.
