Review on 💦 ASUS ROG Ryujin 360 RGB All-in-One Liquid CPU Cooler - 360mm Radiator, Livedash OLED Panel, FanXpert Controls, 3x 120mm 4-Pin Noctua iPPC PWM Fans by Marcus Britton

Bought this cooler to replace an aging Corsair H60 from 2011. I went with it knowing that 120mm AIO heatsinks tend to be worse are than most decent air coolers. However, my case is that I move my desktop at least 30 miles every two weeks and need something light and uncomplicated on my CPU. I feel uncomfortable with a 1kg air cooler jumping on my outlet when traveling. ADVANTAGES: 1. Produces roughly the same stress temperatures as my H60 when stress testing the P95. This is even true when you consider that the maximum pump speed on this unit is around 2700 rpm, while the H60 has a maximum pump speed of 4200 rpm. To me this is very impressive as the flow has decreased by about 35%.2. The OLED display is pleasant to the touch. Of course, I didn't buy this device for the display, but it's a nice touch. The animations seem smooth and crisp for what they are.3. Installation was easy and everything on the device itself made a high-quality impression (except for the base plate). The hose was heavy and stiff (another minus, unfortunately), the pump/block was solid, and the heatsink felt solid and polished. Cons: 1. I'll start with the tube. I rated him as a pro for the build quality of this unit, but this thing has some high power tubes. I'm not sure of its diameter, but it's also rigid which makes routing in my inverted 90 degree case (Silverstone FT02) quite difficult. I finally succeeded, but it required some tweaking.2. Too many cables coming out of this thing. All this must be used for the full operation of the device. There is a pump connector, micro USB, sata and a fan connector. I figured I could get by with just a sata connector and a pump. In fact, you also need a micro USB for OLED and RGB to work. I was under the impression that the micro USB was only for uploading pictures to the device memory, which I didn't care. So it required some wiring.3. I'm not interested in the LiveDash software. I downloaded it because I wanted to customize the RGB to my liking. After installing the software, it overran all of my pre-existing lighting settings in my G.Skill Trident RGB, EVGA GFX and Asus Mobo RAM and mapped everything to this little pump without question. It was quite annoying and it took me a while to go back and fix everything in my own settings. Every time I tried to set up the pump's RGB, something else synced it to it. I ended up uninstalling it and other unnecessary programs it installed without asking, like Patriot RGB memory and the like.4. The backplate for mounting the pump was a thin piece of scrap plastic. I ended up just reusing my old H60 baseplate because at least it was made out of a stiffer, thicker plastic. the existing Noctua NF-F12. The device with this fan is very quiet even under load. TL; DR: Overall, this is a great little AIO that looks good, feels solid, and performs as well as any other 120mm AIO. The software needs a major overhaul, it's terrible. Excellent build quality. many cables to control the device Hard hose
