ASUS ROG Ryou 240 AIO CPU Cooler Review

Introduction

ASUS ROG Ryou 240

ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers) is a branding that, in relative terms, is rather new. Despite that, the ROG name has quickly managed to associate itself with some of the best consumer products currently available on the market. In terms of PC components, it’s relatively safe to say that their ASUS ROG branding is best associated with motherboards and graphics cards. Well, at least for the moment. That is, however, all set to change!

With ASUS looking to branch into more areas of computer component designs, we have been able to review their latest ASUS ROG Ryou CPU cooler. This is an AIO liquid cooler designed with a 240 radiator. There are, however, more than a few factors that make this stand-out from the wide variety of these cooler types on offer!

While this may on the surface appear to be a relatively standard 240 RGB AIO liquid cooler, it does have a rather cool secret! Read on for more!

Exterior Packaging

The packaging to the ASUS ROG Ryou is truly excellent. Not only does it carry all the colours and branding well associated with them, but the front of the packaging provides a nice, large, image of the cooler including the radiator, fans and CPU block. There is also some nice lightly embossed silver highlights which we’ve tweaked the brightness so you can hopefully make them out.

The rear packaging provides all of the products key features and specifications in nice, easy to understand, writing and pictures. The information provided is of excellent quality and tells you everything you could need to know about this cooler at a very quick glance.
