Raijintek Cyclops 360mm ARGB LCD AIO Cooler Review

Installation

The installation was about as straightforward as you could expect from an AIO. There’s a metal backplate with the four screws pre-fitted, so you just put it on the back of the motherboard, and it sticks in place thanks to some adhesive pads. The Intel/AMD retention clips simply slide onto the pump, and there are four thumbscrews in the box to hold it all down, it really couldn’t be much easier.

As you can see, a lot is going on with the pump, with a ring of ARGB lighting on the interior giving it an Iron-Man-like reactor glow, and while you can’t see it in the image, those white sections inside are rotating slowly when the pump is running, giving it a unique aesthetic. The built-in LCD may be small, but it has a pretty big visual impact, giving you a way to display system statistics on the pump and the smaller size is easily masked by all the other stuff going on around it, it works well.

Being a 360mm radiator, you’ll need to ensure your case can support it, but since it supports fan mounting on either side of the radiator, you can configure it as a push or pull configuration to suit the installation spot in your case.

The LEDs on the fans are nice and vibrant too, and provide a nice even illumination of the fan blades themselves, and they’re not overly bright either, which I like, some RGB hardware can be harsh on the eyes, but this is a nice diffused lighting.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
