It's more of a niche cooler and won't be to everyone's taste, but you'll need to be sure you're happy with spending a few hundred on an AIO cooler alone. The price is going to put some potential buyers off, thanks to that massive display. This isn't a negative in itself since the fan is great for cooling components around the CPU socket, something an AIO normally lacks.īut you will notice the higher sound levels if the rest of your PC is near silent. It's quite loud, especially when both the pump and internal fan ramp up with higher CPU temperatures. There are only a few minor complaints I had with the ASUS ROG Ryujin II 360 AIO.

Speaking of design, the AIO itself looks like your average liquid cooler until you reach the CPU water block and pump unit. Thankfully, ASUS did ask for dark-colored Noctua fans so we don't have to deal with the ugly brown standard design. This can also be used for other RGB components you may have installed, keeping everything neat and tidy. The included three Noctua fans can be connected to the motherboard directly or via the controller hub. Everything seems to be packaged well and nothing was damaged in transit, though I would like to see a little more padding, especially for the radiator.

The AIO unit is packaged alongside an RGB and fan controller hub, as well as all the mounting accessories for Intel and AMD motherboards. ASUS includes everything you'll need for a new PC build.
