Performance
When it comes to pure cooling performance the Chieftec Iceberg 360 is a bit hit or miss. In the max RPM tests, it was a bit lackluster on the AMD side where it performed admirably but fell short against other new designs, never reaching the top ten. The design isn't optimized for maximum cooling performance at all costs, and it's not all that well optimized for AMD either. Meanwhile, on the Intel test bench things are quite a bit better with the Iceberg 360 holding its own and placing on average 3–5 spots ahead of the AMD results. That said, once the cooler is limited to 45 dBA max noise output like all the other coolers, things begin to change. On the AMD side there is only a minor difference in terms of overall performance, but on the Intel side we see a massive difference. The Iceberg 360 jumps from middle of the pack straight into the top 10. This is due to lower CFM but higher static pressure fans, along with a cold plate that is better suited for Intel CPUs. While respectable, the Chieftec Iceberg 360 isn't a top tier AMD cooler, but if you're using or building an Intel based system it will be a great option.

Noise
In terms of overall noise output the Iceberg 360 can seem a touch loud at max RPM, however when comparing against other AIOs it is actually pretty good. It is nowhere near as loud as the worst performers in this category, in fact being one of the better options considering the cooler is only noticeable at PWM settings above 65%. If you plan to use the Iceberg 360 on a mid-range CPU it can be configured to be nearly silent, mostly due to the very wide PWM range of the fans that operate from 500 to 2200 RPM.

Build Quality
In terms of build quality I have no real complaints as the fit and finish is very good, as is the A-RGB lighting implementation. While the cooler doesn't stand out in a particular way, it doesn't look bad either. The Iceberg 360 sports a design that will let other components take the spotlight, but if needed can still be the focal point in a more subdued system build. Furthermore, the mounting hardware is robust and easy to work with alongside wide socket support, allowing use in retro builds which will likely garner it some attention. In terms of features, the snap-on fans are a nice touch. In general, I have nothing bad to say about the cooler from a design and quality standpoint other than nitpicking details, that for most potential consumers aren't relevant.

Other Thoughts
I do think Chieftec is on the right track with the Iceberg 360. For a first release it shows a great deal of promise. Performance is in line with typical expectations and build quality is solid. It has useful features and retains an attractive if somewhat safe design, giving it broad appeal. The warranty is also acceptable at three-years, however, more and more vendors offer more coverage, so Chieftec may need to follow suit to stay competitive.

Overall the Chieftec Iceberg 360 is a decent all-in-one liquid CPU cooler that tends to be a bit on the quieter side compared to most, coming with interesting features, compelling quality and exceptional socket support. It is a great option for retro builds or mid-range systems, or for those that just want something that works without breaking the bank or worrying about having the absolute best cooling performance at any cost.
