ASUS ROG RYUO IV SLC 360 ARGB 2025

88 out of 100 medium confidence 12 reviews

The ASUS ROG Strix LC III 360 ARGB is a powerful AIO cooler with excellent thermal performance, keeping high-end CPUs like the i9-12900K and Ryzen 7 5800X3D at low temperatures even under load. Users praise the build quality, quiet operation, and striking aesthetics, especially the camera-lens-like pump housing and customizable Anime Matrix display. However, a few reviewers note issues with the ASUS Armoury Crate software, loud fans at certain speeds, oversized LCD covering motherboard features, and short cooler hoses that limit placement flexibility. Overall, the cooler is highly recommended for its performance and looks, though some feel the price is high for the value.

Pros
  • Excellent cooling performance
  • Quiet pump and fans
  • Eye-catching camera lens design
  • Customizable Anime Matrix display
  • High build quality
Cons
  • Buggy Armoury Crate software
  • Loud fans at lower RPM
  • Oversized LCD covers motherboard features
  • Short cooler hoses
  • Cheesy built-in lighting patterns
