OpenDS360
Add new tricks
to a CPU cooler.
OpenDS360 reverse-engineers the USB link inside the numeric-display PCCooler CPS DS360, then adds GPU temperature, sensor choice, and threshold blinking in a free, open-source, unofficial Windows app.

WHY OPEN DS360
An off-the-shelf cooler, opened up for new ideas.
This is more than a replacement for bundled software. Measure the hidden USB exchange, add features worth using, and publish how it works. OpenDS360 expands what finished hardware can become.- 01
Measure
Capture the undocumented USB HID exchange on real hardware.
- 02
Add
Build GPU temperature, sensor choice, threshold blinking, and reconnect.
- 03
Open
Publish the app source and measured 65-byte protocol under MIT.
CHECK YOUR MODEL
The same DS360 name covers two different displays.
Check the pump head first. OpenDS360 targets the 3½-digit seven-segment model with glowing white numerals. It does not support the model with a 2.4-inch LCD for images and animation.CPS DS360 BK / similar 7-segment units
Likely related hardware; reports needed
DS360 2.4-inch LCD / GT360
Different display and communication design
BEFORE INSTALLING
What to know before installing
Windows x64
Built for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Windows on Arm, macOS, and Linux are not supported.
PawnIO for CPU
CPU sensors require administrator access and signed PawnIO. GPU temperature works without PawnIO.
Unofficial and unsigned
Not endorsed by PCCooler or APALTEK. The installer is unsigned; every release publishes its SHA-256.
No network connections
The app opens no network connections. It only writes display values to the target device over USB HID.
FEATURES ADDED
Make the display do more than show one number.
Put GPU temperature on the pump head
Choose CPU package, hottest CPU CCD, or GPU temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Turn the numerals into a warning light
Set a threshold and the hardware numerals blink when the reading reaches it.
Reconnect after unplugging
Start with Windows, reconnect after USB changes, preserve settings, and prevent duplicate instances.
Failures stay visible
Device conflicts, missing sensor data, and failed settings writes are surfaced instead of hidden.
OPEN PROTOCOL
A closed display, measured and opened.
The undocumented USB HID exchange was captured on real hardware. The published notes cover the 65-byte report, measured ranges, 0.5-second cadence, watchdog, blink bit, and report IDs deliberately left untouched. Unknowns remain labelled as unknowns.
