ASUS has never been shy about blending performance with presentation, and the ASUS ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB all-in-one liquid cooling system is another striking example of just how far they’re willing to push design boundaries. Between the massive curved AMOLED display and the redesigned pump, this AIO is clearly built to impress both visually and thermally.

Coming with brackets to support Intel’s LGA 1851 and 1700 and AMD’s AM4 and AM5 platforms, it’s powered by a high-performance pump that runs up to 3200 RPM, delivering exceptional cooling for high-end CPUs. The large copper plate comes pre-coated with thermal paste, and the aluminium radiator houses three pre-installed ROG RYUO IV MF-12C ARGB Fans.

These use ASUS’s daisy chain design, where fans are magnetically attached to each other and use built-in terminals to pass power and ARGB signals. Rated at up to 2650 RPM, they create just over 71 CFM of airflow, with sound levels reportedly peaking out at just under 40 dB(A).They also feature some gorgeous RGB elements – not only does the whole blade glow with diffused light, but elements on the side glow in the same colours, displaying ROG iconography.

Installation, thankfully, is refreshingly simple, not only because the pre-installed fans are included, but also because the sleeved FEP tubing is about 200mm long; short enough to stay neat but long enough to reach comfortably in standard mid-towers. Connections for everything—from the pump power to the ARGB—are clearly labelled and easy to route, and once installed, the cooler gives off that signature ROG confidence.

The main appeal behind the ASUS ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB all-in-one liquid cooling system, however, is the 6.67-inch 2K AMOLED Screen. Not only does it have incredible resolution for its size, but its smooth curve also lends itself to displaying 3D animations—similar to the giant curved billboard in Shinjuku.

Using the ASUS Infohub Software grants you access to a variety of pre-loaded animations, graphics, and system statistics, and even allows you to add your own video clips. Additionally, the screen can be ‘split’ so that one flat side shows an animation, while the other displays stats.

It also features a sliding mount, letting you move it back and forth to get the best viewing angle for your case.

 There are, however, a couple of things to consider. The display, while gorgeous, only comes with a two-year warranty, notably shorter than the six years offered for the cooling hardware itself. It’s understandable given the technology involved, but worth keeping in mind if you plan on running the cooler long-term.

Additionally, the ASUS InfoHub software used to control the display feels limited compared to Armoury Crate. It handles the basics, but it lacks some of the deeper customisation tools that ROG fans have come to expect.

If you really want to make a statement with your PC, the ASUS ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB AIO Liquid cooling system delivers. Between the stunning display, strong cooling performance, and premium ROG styling, it’s hard not to be impressed. It’s bold, it’s functional, and it captures everything that makes ASUS ROG hardware stand out.
