ASUS ROG RYUO III 360 ARGB AIO Cooler Review

ASUS is one of the biggest and the best when it comes to high-end PC hardware. They’re well known for their motherboards and graphics cards most of all, but they do dabble in the world of power supplies, coolers and much more beyond that too. When it comes to high-end coolers, however, few come more high-end than the ASUS ROG TYOU III 360 ARGB liquid cooler. Featuring the 8th generation ASetek pump, and a 360mm radiator adorned with three ROG MODEL 12 ARGB fans, it should be able to tame the heat from even the most savage high-end CPU, such as our new test-bench that runs on the often toasty i9-12900K!

The downside is that it does cost £299.99, which is a lot, but keep in mind this isn’t just a high-end cooler, but also a bit of an aesthetic statement. The pump and fans are truly premium stuff, and there’s an animated pixel display they call “Anime Matrix LED” and that’s putting a big premium on the price.

Features

• The latest 8th gen Asetek pump is armed with a 3-phase motor that delivers ultimate cooling performance with higher flow and lower impedance
• The ASUS-exclusive Anime Matrix^™ is a mini LED array that can display ROG-exclusive anime content, core system stats, and customized animations
• Premium ROG ARGB fans offer high airflow and optimized noise levels
• Aluminium components and vacuum coating provide high durability and flagship aesthetics
• The ROG Ryuo series is styled to complement the ROG motherboards at the heart of a high-end build
