ASUS ROG Ryujin II 360 AIO

"A cooler too hot to handle"

- By Sam Lewis

When you think about creating a new build, you may naturally concentrate your efforts on the most interesting parts, such as the processor or graphics card. While these are two of the most important components for performance, it’s no good running a zippy PC if it heats your case up like an oven. An AIO cooler is vital to keep everything running smoothly and temperatures as low as possible whilst maintaining those performance speeds.

The ROG Ryujin II 369 AIO is ASUS’s flagship cooler designed to keep even the hottest performing machines running nice and cool. If you are tight on space, there is also a smaller 240mm version. It's an impressive component, but should it become a part of your rig?

Design-wise, this is a sweet-looking AIO cooler. Beginning with the star of the show, the CPU pump head features an LCD panel, but not just any old panel— this happens to be the largest LCD on any AIO cooler on the market. Though it could be seen as a little gimmicky, this is ASUS's flagship model so naturally, it features all the bells and whistles. So what can you use this panel for?
