The all in one cooler market does appear to have become a little stagnant in recent years – most companies use Asetek designs which all perform pretty similarly. There is some scope to make improvements via LED or RGB lighting, a route most manufacturers tend to follow, but ASUS has opted to try and push performance even further. This can be seen through the inclusion of Noctua NF-F12 fans with the Ryujin 360, as well as a small 1.77” OLED screen for displaying system details and even custom GIFs.
ASUS' ambition to tackle the high-end AIO cooling market is clear, but with new, advanced features, naturally comes a higher price. At £249.95 It’s by no means a budget solution, and actually one of the dearer AIO solutions available today, but do these new features justify this higher price?
