The ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme pushes cooling performance with thicker fans and a customisable display

The ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme offers improved cooling, thicker fans, better pump performance, and a customisable 3.5-inch display.

The latest release in ASUS’ cooling range, the ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme, builds on its predecessor with many significant upgrades. Aimed at gamers and PC enthusiasts alike, this all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler is designed to provide more efficient cooling while offering customisation options that set it apart in the competitive market of PC hardware.

With enhancements like a new Asetek pump and improved fan design, ASUS hopes to cater to those looking for performance, style, and ease of use. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect from this new cooling solution.

The new pump promises better cooling performance

At the heart of the Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme is a brand-new Gemma Gen8 V2 pump, manufactured by Asetek. This updated pump is designed to increase water flow and reduce impedance, leading to better overall cooling. If you’re familiar with the Ryujin III 360, this new pump builds on its success, promising more efficient heat dissipation during high-performance tasks like gaming and video editing.

The improved flow rate should help keep your CPU temperatures in check, even when pushing your system to its limits. Lower impedance means the pump can circulate coolant more efficiently, reducing strain and prolonging the system’s lifespan. These enhancements are expected to translate into better overall thermal management, though real-world performance will depend on other factors like case airflow and ambient temperature.

One of the Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme’s most noticeable upgrades is its set of beefier fans. ASUS has equipped this cooler with three 120mm fans, each 30mm thick. This increase in thickness boosts the static pressure across all noise levels, resulting in greater airflow without sacrificing quiet operation.

The thicker fans are engineered to push more air through your system, which is especially useful when dealing with high-performance CPUs that tend to run hot. These fans also feature a daisy-chain capability, simplifying cable management. Gone are the days of messy wires cluttering your case; now you can enjoy a cleaner, more organised build with fewer headaches during installation.

Like most modern coolers, these fans come equipped with ARGB lighting. Whether you’re into customising your PC’s look or prefer a more minimalistic design, the RGB lights allow you to create the visual aesthetic you want, all controlled through ASUS’ Armoury Crate software.

Customisable display with better resolution and refresh rate

A standout feature of the Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme is its 3.5-inch display, which has received notable upgrades over its previous version. The screen now boasts a 60Hz refresh rate, doubling the previous 30Hz, and its resolution has been bumped up from 240p to 480p.

These changes may seem minor, but they make a significant difference when displaying system stats, wallpapers, or animations. The smoother refresh rate offers a more polished viewing experience, while the higher resolution ensures crisper, more detailed visuals. Whether monitoring CPU temperature or displaying custom content, the improved screen delivers a more premium feel to your PC build.

Using ASUS’ Armory Crate software, you can customise what appears on the screen. Whether you want real-time stats like temperatures and clock speeds or prefer to show off your latest animated wallpaper, the options are endless. This level of personalisation is a nice touch for those who enjoy showcasing their custom PC builds.

Pricing and availability

ASUS has yet to confirm pricing and availability for the ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme. Given its premium features, it’s likely to carry a higher price tag than its predecessor. Stay tuned for updates as more details become available.

In the meantime, the Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme is a compelling option for those seeking the perfect balance between performance, aesthetics, and customisation in their cooling solutions.
