ASUS Republic of Gamers RYUJIN III 360 Extreme White Edition AIO Liquid CPU Cooler

Overview

The ASUS ROG RYUJIN III 360 ARGB EXTREME WHT is an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler designed to efficiently manage heat from high-performance Intel and AMD processors. Featuring a 360 mm aluminum radiator and three 120 mm ARGB fans, it delivers up to 89.73 CFM of airflow while maintaining noise levels at or below 36 dBA. This cooler is built to support demanding gaming, content creation, and workstation tasks by keeping temperatures low and system noise minimal.

Its advanced cooling system includes an eighth-generation Asetek pump with a three-phase motor for smooth operation and enhanced coolant flow. Additionally, a dedicated axial-tech fan inside the CPU block targets the motherboard’s VRM area, providing extra thermal headroom during overclocking or heavy CPU loads.

Key features

• 360 mm aluminum radiator combined with three ARGB fans to maximize heat dissipation and airflow.
• 8th-generation Asetek pump with a three-phase motor ensures quieter and more efficient coolant circulation.
• 3.5-inch full-color LCD on the pump cap displays real-time CPU frequencies, temperatures, or custom images and animations for personalized monitoring.
• Embedded axial-tech fan inside the CPU block cools motherboard VRMs, enhancing system stability under high CPU voltage.
• Magnetic daisy-chain connectors simplify fan installation by allowing power, lighting, and control through a single cable, reducing cable clutter.
• Flexible 400 mm sleeved rubber tubing offers versatile routing options in mid-tower and larger cases while minimizing coolant evaporation.
• Compatible with a wide range of Intel sockets (LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, 115x) and AMD sockets (AM5, AM4), fitting most modern gaming and workstation builds.
