Building a new PC and ran across this AIO CPU cooler for $190 vs $260 list price.
https://rog.asus.com/us/cooling/c...240-model/

Note, a new version of this is out: ROG Ryujin III 240 for $270 list price.

Yes, it's a luxury item as all I really needed for an i5-13600K was an air cooler, and you can get a basic AIO for $90. But I want a cool way to put a family picture in my PC case. LMAO

Compared to:
-$230 currently on Amazon
-$190 lowest price recorded by the Camels
-$140 best AIO cooler (no screen) per Tom's Hardware [tomshardware.com]
-$310 best AIO cooler (no screen) per PC Gamer [pcgamer.com]

Compared to the other ones with a screen that I found (listed below with screen size), this was among the lowest priced AIO offered, and it comes with the largest, non-circular screen.

MSI MEG Coreliquid S280, 2.4" -$186
Thermaltake Toughliquid Ultra 2.1" -$200
EVGA CLCx 2.1" -$213
Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD XT Display 2.1" -$240
NZXT Kraken Elite 280 2.4" -$250

For reference, up here in Canada it's on sale for $100 CAD (~= $75.50 USD). There's stock in most stores, and 10+ available online.

I'm not sure if there are decent reshippers to y'all down there though, mostly it's us Canadians buying from the States!

Edit: Oops, that's the original model (Asus ROG Ryujin) without the screen. My bad.

Man didnt even know they made this, kind of Pimp. If I was going all out show boating I would definetly pick this up, but for the price I still cant justify it when my current cooler master AIO only cost me $100 and has something similar but not as cool. If this ever gets down to $150 I am sold.

It seems like it needs Aida for system info. Like most lcds. The evga about will display some information, water temp fan speed without any external info.

So it comes with noctua fans. The price now makes more sense. Those noctua fans are $20+ each (to consumers at least)

YMMV

ASUS software is horrendous. Figured it was a fluke and had similar failures with the ASUS Harpe Ace Aim Lab mouse when updating the driver software and mouse configuration per mousepad style.

Went with the NZXT Kraken Elite 240 (non-RGB) two weeks ago and couldn't be happier. Have yet to replace mouse as I gave up on it this weekend and will be returning it.

i5-13600KF OC'ed
EVGA Z690 Dark Kingpin

Per NZXT the screen is amazing and software performs the essentials nicely. 6 year warranty and phone-based US Tech Support if needed (California). Worked perfectly on bootup and with about 2-4 minutes of tweaking and setting a default profile.

Is this enough for an i9 13900k? If not, what would you recommend?

Quote from SlickDealio :
[*]140mm Noctua iPPC-2000 PWM radiator fans
They should be 120mm fans if it's a 240mm radiator. You can't (easily) attach 140mm fans to a 240mm radiator.

So it has a fan built into the pump? What exactly is the point of that?

Is the software needed to take advantage of this full of bloat?

Essentially all AIOs based on 7th gen Asetek solution are about equal, fans make the difference. 8th gen is out and I assume this is why it's getting discount.

Anyways, the choice of F12 always seems odd to me as they are substantially worse than A12x25 on thin rads, not particularly sure about the process of this collab but this could have been better.


Personally, for the extra $100 I would get a custom display panel inside the case vs a small header screen like this. But I certainly acknowledge that this is definitely targeting the unique ROG audience so there's really not an alternative.

I like innovations but this lcd on cpu cooler is a dumb innovation. There are some fanbois who will have nothing less.
What is the point of the LCD? Eveyone is looking at the monitor to use computer. if u need info it can be displayed there.
