Introduction

A big thank you to ASUS for supplying the review sample.

ASUS is a company just about every PC enthusiast knows or has owned a product of—the company is an industry juggernaut, to say the least. Producing not only laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, and displays, the company has in recent years also expanded into the liquid-cooling market with all-in-one liquid coolers. The first product in that series to gain acclaim was the original ROG Ryujin series of liquid coolers, which featured an OLED display and typical ASUS ROG styling. Since then, the company has expanded its AIO offerings, not only offering extreme solutions, but more typical mainstream units as well.

The ASUS ROG RYUO IV 360 ARGB stands out as an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler with its impressive 6.67-inch curved 2K AMOLED display. It's packed with features such as customizable settings, a slide mechanism for display adjustment, naked-eye 3D effects, and ARGB fans that can be daisy-chained. To say it's loaded with features might be putting it mildly. Given that it's a 360 mm AIO, expectations for performance are naturally high. However, the real test is whether it can meet those expectations. Priced at $419.99, at the time of the review it has certainly been positioned as a premium product. All that said, let's put it through its paces and see how it performs.
