OpenDS360
Add new tricks
to a CPU cooler.
OpenDS360 keeps CPU temperature on the numeric-display PCCooler CPS DS360 pump head, then lets you switch to CPU power draw as a second mode. It is a free, open-source, unofficial Windows app built from USB traffic measured on real hardware.

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
Make CPU temperature primary, with CPU power and five startup movements.
- 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 temperature and power 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
Start with CPU temperature. Then see the workload move.
Keep CPU temperature in view
Update CPU package or hottest CCD temperature every half second, right where the cooler is already visible.
Switch to live CPU power
Package power jumps the instant workload changes. Its 0–199 W range maps directly to the display without scaling.
Start with a different movement
Needle, Climb, Descend, Stagger, or Overrun is selected before settling on the live reading.
Keep alerts and reconnect
Store separate blink thresholds for temperature and power, then reconnect automatically after USB changes.
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.
