Great cooler! Looks awesome, effective, easy to install
This is a great AIO cooler. I have this on an unlocked 12th gen i9 processor running at a solid 5.2 GHz no issues. Swapped thermal paste for Noctua non-conductive. Fans are really quiet, pump is basically inaudible compared to the fans even running consistently at 100%. I have overclocked and ran in to memory issues before the CPU ever reached any sort of alarming point. I love the aesthetic of the cooler block. The circle with glass looks like a camera lens so it feels very retro futuristic. Pros across the board! ...except one... The lighting effects. Asus' Armoury Crate software is only ok when it finally works. I had to uninstall and reinstall all the Asus software a few times in a very specific order before I eventually got everything working (mostly issues with audio drivers and RGB for ram modules interfering). Took sifting through many reddit posts and forum complaints. I have all effects off for the most part except a VU meter on the anime matrix screen that responds to computer audio which was really cool, but be aware it doesn't support super high resolution audio outputs and the motherboard driver apparently messed things up... even though I have an Asus motherboard... so you'd think they would test basic compatibility within their own products... apparently not? Built-in lighting patterns are really cheesy and you basically end up with a very specific aesthetic or nothing. Luckily it looks really good without the matrix screen doing anything, so I am not going to knock off any stars. Oh yeah, and the default pattern or animation you set is what displays on the matrix screen when the system is powered off... so unless you disable the USB lead entirely in BIIOS at power-off state, it'll always be showing something stupid even if you don't want it to. The RGB on the fans is also not super accurate... whites are always leaning more blue/purple than even some cheap LED strips you can get. If you keep it on a specific color, just be prepared to tweak the tint on the fans a bit.

Best in class AIO for performance and aesthetics
If you’re into aesthetics for your PC, this is the AIO for you. I’ve read some people saying that the pump is not as strong as other peer products but I haven’t witnessed that. I regularly run heavy loads on my 9950X3D and this AIO always performs as expected. Highly recommend!!

My first AIO
I haven't written a review in a while. I absolutely love this cooler. Prior to this I had the best fan that was available from Noctua. Those are still excellent, and I think they'll live longer than me. I don't expect the same life out of an AIO since I think they are expected to live for around 6 years. Anyway, this cooler is stunning. I bought it for the slight temperature decrease, compared to a fan, and the low profile with the LED screen that looks awesome. This checked all boxes for me. Before owning an AIO I was mainly worried about how hard it would be to install. It's slightly more work than a typical fan but it's doable. If you can build a PC, you can figure this out. I was also worried about the noise. The first few hours of running it I heard a few noises. It really sounded like when your old PCs would write to a HDD. After the first few hours it's been silent. No louder than a fan. Although this AIO isn't rated as high as the Ryujin iii ARGB, I didn't like the looks of that one. It looks like an old CRT TV. I recommend this 10/10. Don't be afraid to install an AIO and if you are go with the best- Asus.

Repacked Product but otherwise works GREAT!!
Barring the fact the product come to me used or repackaged, the product itself works great. I had a NXTZ 280 AIO but I didn't like that I was getting 94-95c max package temps (in Cinebench 2024) so I wanted to try this ASUS Ryuo III. Note I also undervolted the PC a little. I'm running an intel 14900k spec'd for creator content (not gaming) but this helped being down the temps by 4-5c. Here are some benchmarks I've done with Cinebench 2024 and R23. Pushed it down further by applying Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut Extreme Thermal Paster. Hope this helps: With NXTZ 280 ARGB AIO - 94-95c Max, 80c Average. Cinebench 2024 * Asus Ryuo III - Default Paste: 85c Max, 80c Average (Score: 2104) * Reapplied with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste: 83c Max, 73c Average (I manually calculated the average as I forgot to reset the min/max when I started the benchmark) Cinebench R23 * Asus Ryuo III - Default Paste: 84c Max, 78c Average (Score: 37037) (I manually calculated the average as I forgot to reset the min/max when I started the benchmark) * Reapplied with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste: 80c Max, 70c Average I didn't download armory crate since it's a horrible program (thus why I took away 1 star). I'm running OpenRGB and FanControl to handle thos functions.

Best money I’ve spent .
This is one of the best Aio I have bought in years , and I’ve purchased from about every major brand . An i9 ran 26 C at idle . Never saw over 60 C gaming . That’s with an overclock . I absolutely love the Animatrix . It’s the changeable display on the CPU pump area . So many colors and designs. You will need to download Asus software to use that part , however it automatically adds the driver and software to the windows update list for you so you don’t have to search for the correct drivers and software. It requires a usb header connection via the motherboard , but don’t worry they include the cable. The Argb fans look amazing , brighter and quieter than most fans I’ve used , and also thicker . I love this Aio .

Gen 8 pump/coldplate
This product used to be $289 and is not even close to worth it. Today it is $199 and I find it a fair price, not because of the LCD screen, but because of the pump and coldplate. The Asetek gen 8 pump and coldplate is a huge jump in performance compared to their previous generations. The pump impeller is powerful and the coldplate is enormous compared to your average coldplate on other AIOs. Arctic has been quite successful with their Liquid Freezer 2 and 3 lines and they are very affordable, but they have a fatal weakness: small coldplate and weak impeller. Attracted by their 420mm length and extra thick 38mm radiators, I've owned the Liquid Freezer II 420 and III 420. Although I applaud them for creating AIOs with more robust radiators, all that radiator cannot make up for their weaker pump design. I'm not saying Arctic Liquid Freezer II and III series are bad products, but they just can't keep up with a larger and more powerful pump/coldplate regardless of radiator size. For the ROG Ryuo III, I purchased it for the performance and I could care less about the LCD screen on the pump. I don't recommend anyone to use Armoury Crate as it will typically cause issues on your OS. Fortunately, you are able to to control the pump speed on the ROG Ryuo III without using Armoury Crate. The Asetek gen 8 pump is a bit noisy, but you can set a profile in your bios to ramp up or slow down depending on your temperatures. If you want the pump to be regulated by coolant temperature, you will need to down the bloatware Armoury Crate. I cannot speak on the fans as I have replaced them with Phanteks T30s. Comparing my 14900k runs in R15 and R23, with the exact same CPU settings, I am seeing an 8-10c improvement going from a Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420 to this ROG Ryuo III 360. A bigger radiator does not mean better performance. What is more important is how quickly your cooler can take the heat away from the CPU's IHS and Asetek's gen 8 pump does it very well.

Amazing!
This liquid cooling system has got to be the best cooling system that I have used up to date. I purchased this for my new build using an Asus mobo, pentium i9 ultimate cpu, and an Asus 5080 graphics card. With this cpu liquid cooling system my cpu runs about 92 degrees Fahrenheit and under stress it goes up to about 108, then cools back down. I have not seen my cpu go above 115 degrees even under heavy gaming and video. Amazing! As for installation... it was a breeze. The hardest part was applying the thermal paste. Not hard at all. The magnetic fans are so easy to install its almost effortless.

設置も簡単
取り寄せ品でアメリカから来るのに結構時間がかかったけれど、移動中の情報も度々あり、安心して待っていられた。また、CPUCoolerとして、設置も簡単でオーバクロックのクーリング性能も問題ないように思います。
