You can skip that by using a thin sheet of magnet actually since the hub is metal. At least that's the reason for that material choice if my assumptions are correct.
@@octoslut This is totally untrue. Pretty much every brand, at some point releases a high end board with poor cooling around the socket. Reviewers point this out regularly. If you want to purchase a board with bad cooling, nobody is stopping you.
And this is exactly why I got the Artic 420 AIO since it's the only 420 AIO in the market aside from Alphacool's, which has been reported to suffer from leaks...
I've actually been using the old version for some years now and it's performing really well. They fixed the quality issues you hade with yours fairly quickly. The only issue I have with it is that the screen has burn in of every single sensor icon I'm using despite them constantly alternating.
Trends I would like to see in the PC market next year (inspired by Noctua's collaboration with ASUS): 1. GPUs that allow users to add any standard 120mm fan for cooling 2. AIOs sold without any included fans Imagine the flexibility it would give PC builders to customize their machines (without generating tons of e-waste) Of course prices should be adjusted accordingly.
You can use any fans you want on an aio tho? I have the 1st Gen if ryuigen and put better fans on it..I wish they included a tool go pop off the cooling lines for routing purposes
I just put in my build the new Aorus cooler, also comes with a screen on the pump which you can customise in the software (I have it display the CPU's temp), has RGB in the fans and I have been very impressed with it. It's 240mm and it's cooling an intel i7 12th gen and on idle I'm getting 28-29 degrees Celsius, when gaming or doing video editing it will go to about 55C. The ROG AIO here in the UK costs about 100 pounds more than the Aorus one, and I didn't see anything in this video that justifies that price difference, so I think I would have made the same choice again.
Merry Christmas Jay! Just built my first PC ever. You were the first source of information that I came across when I first started learning about PCs. I’ve always loved the content. Thank you for playing a big part in my love for computers and tech!
I bought this earlier in the month and now I finished buying the rest of my first gaming rig. I hope it can keep the i9-13900K cool, picked it up on sale for $100 off MSRP and just recently learned that its a very hot CPU.
I got it for $189 technically $204 with shipping. Newegg wanted $400 and multiple others wanted $350 plus. Shits ass dawg. Only caveat is that it takes a month to get here. It’s whatever I don’t have the GPU or SSD yet…
Jay, could you make a video detailing how to install the ryujin 2 from the mounting to the cables and stuff? I'm interested in this AIO but I'm a total noob and have some level of learning disability so I'm easily confused by the cables and stuff. It's the main reason why I've avoided AIOs and liquid cooling all my PC fiddling life.
You forgot to test (or mention) how effective the VRM cooling is. Was looking forward to hearing how effective it is from the moment you showed the fan underneath the display.
I have the first ryujin and it keeps them cool with just precision boost overdrive activated on my dark hero board. I'm running a ryzen 9 5950x and a red devil 6800xt with two sticks of corsair vengeance in a cougar panzer max case. When I put my hand over the exhaust (in my room that stays at 65° year round) I feel literally NO heat. Btw. I have my 750w psu venting in through the back of the case and immediately out thru the bottom of the case. Next to it on the bottom of the case I put an extra fan for exhaust because there's a plastic partition that separates the lower third of the case from the rest of the case. The oled on the cooler never reads over 30C while playing games and usually stays below 25c while idol or just watching Netflix. I don't think I've turned it off sense I built it.
Yet another statement from Jay that shows how limited his knowledge is - talking about how the vrms and ram need cooling - this has been repeatedly shown to NOT be the case by Gamers Nexus and HardwareUnboxed (unless you have a cheap Asrock board in which case you need all the help you can get). Jays statement seems to be very pandering to a minor feature of this, almost as if he was asked to say it. This entire video is basically an advert and pretty poor tech journalism.
Wishing Jay and family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes and also thank you for the knowledge and inspiration you have give to myself and your subscribers throughout the past year and this one also especially with what's been going on...Keep up the work and also the teams..wishing your teams a best health in to come..such a credit to RUclips
It's "REE-YOU-GEEN" not "RA-YOU-GEN"! I have the Ryujin 240 for over 2 years now and I love it! On a i9-9900k the Noctua fans are still while idling. I added some LED Halo Rings from Phantheks in between the fans and the the radiator so the lighting is also fixed. I'll definitely buy this new 360 for my next build. Also, Armory Crate is FINALLY working properly but it took way too long.
Arctic Liquid freezer 2 also has a small fan for circulating a bit of air around the VRMs , RAM etc. This is especially useful for those cases/builds where there's no decent air circulation within the case itself
@Mirsad Redzovic amazing, yes. the next level after that (in terms of function) would be a custom loop. and I also have it on 5950X . working great, looks nice and no difference if I boot windows or Linux. :)
I would love to see a video of PC maintenance over a few years of owning one. Like whether you have to apply new thermal over a while etc... Love this cooler!
google has the craziest results on this. I personally reapply fresh thermal paste once a year, but I use my hardware a lot and it's just what I do. most cases, 2-3 years is fine. dust management on the other hand should be done quite regularly, once a week, once every other week.
Im just lazy but never had a problem with poor maintainance. My old PC survived 7 years on same thermal paste and very little cleaning, everyday use. From my experience PC hardware is generally more durable than one might think. Under 100C and no driver issues and it probably wont randomly die. Obviously if you care about your components it doesnt hurt to clean it once a year.
I've never reapplied thermal paste just as a matter of maintenance. I'm running a 4700k on a PC that's been in use for like 18 hours a day for over 8 years, and there's never been a change in core temperatures that would indicate a need for reapplication. I would suggest recording your temps soon after building so you have a comparison point a year later and can decide for yourself. If the temps don't change, I don't see why there would be any reason to do this.
@@internisus my temps aren't an issue. like I said in my first reply, it's just what I do. you get a 5g tube of paste with a shelf life of about 3 years, worth the purchase with a yearly refresh tbh.
Yes, the other componetns need moving air, too. Thats the reason i cool my pcs just with air instead of water. These AIO often have to be replaced after 2-3 years. After that the danger of leaks raise dangerous high. Or Pump failures etc. I had enough PCs in my workshop with leaking AIOs. I hate them... BUT i have to say, this thing here is kinda cool with that display. I JUST WANT THAT DISPLAY!
I am also team aircooling. I was thinking about an aio when i built my o11 xl system. But i kept with bequiet dark rock 4. I even think air coolers are way more sexy ;)
@@audiophobia82 I have several PCs here. One is a Ryzen 3700x with an Alpenföhn Brocken 3 to cool it. The other is a Ryzen 3900x with a Scythe Mugen Rev. 2 TUF Version to cool it. Both work great. Watercooling is at the end an aircooler too. But with a detour. I have tested several AIO, yes the temps are more stable for a few hours. BUT if the fluid is warm, maybe cause you render for 10 hours, you cant get it cool without shutdown the pc. With Air Cooling you put the fans 2-5 minutes to max and the system is cool again.
I've been using AIOs for many years now. Never had any issues. No need to replace, I had my first for like 6 years and it was still working perfectly when I sold it. I guess it depends on the quality. I don't buy cheap.
@@TobiasRieperGER That detour is important. You get a much bigger surface area and you can dump the heat outside of the case. Plus you get a lot inertia. Cars use liquid cooling too, gas and electric. Why do yo care about cooling down? If you can run your PC for hours without overheating, what's the problem? Who cares if the fluid is warm.
@@andrasbiro3007 First, why the hell do you double posting? Use Edit. Second, IF Fluid gets warm, there is no chance to get it cold again. Rendering for several hours could bring fluid temps to 60-65°C. Now you stop the work, fluid stays in this temps for long time even after finisching rendering. Now your CPU produce 35°C and is flooded with 60° fluid. Now it works in the other direction. Do you know what diffusion is? Fluid become less over time. So your watercooling unit, even if it is a closed system, loose fluid. It disappears thru the rubber, seals or whatever. And in most AIO you can't fill it up. In a Custom Loop you can, but there you have to switch out the fluid all few years, cause it gets bad over time. Jay made a video about that. I say that, cause i bet you will not believe me. So listen to another pro. Resaon for that is material mix. Most units have copper pump housings and aluminium radiators. These don't fit together and produce rust in the system. That can clog up the pump and other stuff. As i said, my 3900x renders, it has just a simple Scythe Mugen on it. This thing just reach 65°C with overclock to 4200 mhz on all 12 cores. After work, fans go down to normal, after 2 minutes CPU is at 35°C again. And if i render for hours, there is no change to it. Watercooling is always louder than simple air cooling. I have 7 fans in my cases. The loudest one is the PSU. Its a Be Quiet Pure Power 11. Even my GPU has a semi passive mode and just turns the fans when starting the PC. After the boot it never makes any noise. And pls explain to me, how i can install a AIO so the radiator is outside the case without dismantle it or cutting my case? And where do i have to mount the radiator when it is outside the case? And how long the AIO lasts is not a simple messure. It counts how many hours it runs per day and what speed the pump goes. I have seen several units where the pump just stopped, cause it clogged up or just broke. The rubber hoses are often simple cheap ones, no reinforcements or so. They become hard and porous. The same with sealings. So why should i risk a leak that could destroy my expensive hardware? All in all my PCs are worth 2000-2500 Bucks (before Chip Crisis) and today 3500 bucks. All works, all is cool, all is silent. No ticking time bomb in my case. And cause i use liquid metal thermal paste, i have to check it once in 10 years. Sorry, all in all Watercooling just has disadvantages, and we haven't talked about the price. Maybe you need watercooling for power guzzling Intel CPUs, but who the hell still buys those wasters?
That's a giant pump block with that fan in it. I went with the phanteks Glacier One 360MP because if you take the cover of the pump it's the lowest profile Asetek pump block I could find. I used the NZXT Kraken G12 bracket to mount it to my Radeon 5700XT and it's still a two-slot card with the pump on it. Not the intended use case but it works well.
Ekwb Elite RGB still has the nicest CPU waterblock imho. Asus ROG is nice yet also expensive and not worth the extra money considering performance between Artic and EKWB
I love this AIO cooler! It comes with very efficient fans and you barely notices it under load. The software side is not the best though, Armoury crate can lag sometimes and doesn't let you choose too large gifs or videos to put on the display. All-in-all it's a must have for the price/performance ratio!
It is a difficult name, but "R " from "righteous", "YU" from "you", and "JIN" from "gin". Basically the "R" isn't "are". Sometimes random YT vids can be helpful. Would have loved to have gotten one of the these for my build. I have a Corsair 150i Pro. My temps still seem to be high, 35 to 40 degrees on semi-idle on my 5900X, I think I need to re-paste my CPU.
i have lkoved the version 1, but after 3rma`s i gave up and got my noctuha nhd15 back. cooling was never a problem. the aio worked awesome. but the stupid small oled screen they had on the pump block, either burned in over time(even at circeling temp and voltage readouts) or was broken from the get go.
I have the first one and MY GOD! I Hate That VRM fan! It's so obnoxiously loud! I was gonna replace it with a custom loop, until I got a TUF 3070Ti which makes it pointless. It runs at 60C max at 280 watts. Hits it's Voltage limit and never hits that 320 that it can do. Also never strays from 2.1ghz on the core and 21k on the memory. Makes me kinda sad it wont do that extra 10% on the Power, but it's framerates are only like 5% behind a 3080 so... More efficient and not needed I guess. FH4 maxed out, 1440p, with the benchmark, its like 18 FPS behind a 400 watt 3090 FTW3 Hybrid.... Mind Blown. Now I just want this AIO but not pay $500....... UPDATE: 5 minutes later I found one for $300...... maybe
It's pretty cool, something I've wanted since the Kraken Z is the ability to customize a little screen in my PC to look like an old-school JDM style boost gauge. It's such a shame you can only choose between an animated GIF or a couple of pre-baked system values.
I guess my pick is between the Artic Cooling Liquid Freezer II and this new ASUS ROG Ryugin II. [looks up prices] I guess my pick is the Artic Cooling Liquid Freezer II.
And that tiny fan is just as trash...each time I install the LF II i disconnect that fan right away. It does nothing except for being noisy and very noisy after about a year or so.
@@puciohenzap891 Im not sure if you can here the small fan. I guess everything in your pc is louder than the small pump fan :D in my chase i cant here it at all.
My RYUO 240 has screen burn in. Asus said I can send it in for warranty. They will not cross ship a new unit so I can still use my PC and not wait weeks for the replacement to arrive. This is why I'm getting a Kraken Z soon.
Looks sweet. So from my understanding that names means "dragon" or something like that. Just knowing the name, I would've thought this was an MSI product o.O Not gonna give up my Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 though, which I still think/feel is one of the best AIO's ever made (so far). It cools my 12700k w/o breaking a sweat. Happy holidays, to Jay & Co.
I was looking into getting this AIO, I got my hands on the Asus Rog 3090 and Thor PSU and decided I wanted to go with a all Rog build. Thanks for the reviewing this!
I really like the idea of having a fan on the CPU coldplate/pump to help cool down the VRMs and chokes. I've only seen a couple of AIOs with this feature though - really needs to become more standard as VRMS on a high-end system can easily hit over 100 degrees C (In Win have an articulating fan which you can mount on the top of the case and position above the VRMs, but its expensive and despite being an elegant and well designed product still looks a bit odd/borderline jank and has no RGB lol)
I’ve done two Ryzen chip builds. The first one was with the stock cooler and had no problem putting that on the chip. The second one is my wife’s build with an AIO, and yes I honestly found that little rectangular pin that you tighten to be quite a pain in the rear end
@@opachki8325 I've been telling people Asus copied off of them with the vrm cooling fan. Has better mounting than other AIOs etc my arctic liquid freezer 2 280 is still chilling everything perfectly. Most AIOs use the same shit same core company design it's why they all look identical. Arctic creates their own designs uses beefier radiators as well man it was a tight squeeze in my case chunky
I've done several ryzen builds this year and none i would consider "pain the the rear end" NZXT Z73 (avoid this now that ek has a comparable model but cheaper), LianLi Galahad 360 and one custom loop with ek magnitude block. Which AIO did you use?
Sadly not the good NF-A12x25 fans, and for the price, they absolutely should be. The NF-F12s are not very good when it comes to noise vs performance, they actually get quite loud.
I have the Ryujin 1, god the fans are so annoying and loud, even tho they are the same noctuas as the 2. The VRM cooler is overrated, unless you dont have any other fan in your case. Also, Armoury Crate, althought not as buggy as other propietary softwares, is annoying to use and sync. In terms of cooling, my 5950x idles at 28/33° C (currently in summer) and peaks at 68°c, using the CTR profiles with a 4.9 all cores boost.
@@AutoRestore1 ha, my latest upgrade to armoury crate completed borked itself. it will not recognise my Tuf 6800xt or the corsair ram that it happily recognised before. I'm currently having to use iCue to sort out the RGB on my asus mobo, gpu and aforementioned ram.
Not to mention that it is now a really old design with just a fancy screwed glued on. From a cooling perspective this gets murdered by EK and Arctic models.
@@malphadour Yea, I got myself an Arctic Liquid Freezer II, good stuff. The ROG AIO surely looks great, but at this point the thing costs as much as a high-end CPU (7. Generation pump edition) and you're not getting any performance benefit.
Yea. And bro in a world where aios like the cooler master master liquid with sub ambient cooling exists, you can't possibly compare normal aios like this to that. It's just absurd.
The one thing I really like about this is the length... really long. I was told that it's not about the size, length and whatever that matters, it's how you use em...
Holy shit now I don't know if I want this to match my ROG Crosshair VIII MoBo or if I still wanna get the H150i Elite Capellix LCD to match my case *HNNNNNNNGGGGG*
if you already have corsair rgb in fans etc..stick to it, I tried mix matching it looked bad colors didn't match and it was really annoying, if you don't have rgb good for you you're a free man ! I wish I didn't get the "rgb disease" lol
The fact it's using AIDA64 is great as that's one of the only systems that Rainmeter will already hook into. I wish they would configure these new displays as monitors so you can put anything you want on them, with Windows alone.
I think I've reached the point where I need to replace my AIO (Been about 4 years at least on this rig?) but I want to replace my case first. I love this case but the front vents are a 1inch wide strap down the side? Wtf I failed here
Only 4 years? The Corsair H50 (I believe!) 120mm AIO that has been on my 4770K rig has only been reposted once in the 7/8 years since I built it!!!! Temps are still the same even under consistent heavy loads re-encoding video fromh 2160p H264 to HEVC/x265 that they were when it was first installed. I thought I would have had to replace it by now due to evaporation of the liquid over that time span. When I replace the H110i in my 8700 rig, I will then put that on the 4770K & retire the H50/H50i/whatever it is (or buy a decent air cooler for it as it is just used for encoding video & as my Plex server.
Merry Christmas to Jayztwocents and everyone (to whom, that may celebrate Christmas). Keep up the great work Jay, been watching for awhile and have always enjoyed your content, since you were on with Linus in Scrapyard wars and may Phil/Nick keep being yourselves, you both make the channel great. To see such a team who is real and connects with their fans and gives honest opinions. Always a joy.
Yeah I just installed it last night, not really a fan of it honestly. Especially the fact that it's 1.5GB for nothing special, classic example of bloatware.
RYUjin is pronounced "Ryu" like Dragon in japanese, and Jhin, like the champion from LoL, "Y" sounding like "ee" from "bee". As "Ryu" and "Shoryuken", character and special move from Street Fighter games.
I’ve just “upgraded” form the Thermaltake Floe Riing RGB 360 TT Premium Edition, to a Corsair iCure H170i Elite Capellix, and super disappointed, The TT has the proper AM4 bracket, the Corsair uses the crappy clip one… So it’s great to see this AIO uses a good mount as well.
Is a "crime" a cooler at this premium level, using ultra chip brackets for AMD. It demonstrated companies like that doesn't care about AMD high end users
@@PilotBusaKaine corsiar said they will add 4 screw bracket in every Aio soon . They need to sell and give 4 screw bracket for everyone that already buyed Aio coolers . \The Only corsair that has proper bracket is lcd version . this downgrade in some ""manufactures"" demontrated totally desrespect about amd users one tip for AMD Ryzen users: keep miles away from Aio made from Corsair, Lianli , Cooler Master(only Aio , because the CoolerMaster AirCoolers uses the proper bracket), BeQuiet, Fractal Design, Msi Mag series( Msi MEG an MPG series uses proper Bracket with very good quality). AIO ""manufacturers"" that repect AMD user and offer proper bracket are Aorus/Gigabyte, Asus RoG and Tuf , Arctic, Cougar, DeePCool Castle(Only Castle Series has proper brackets), Evga , EKWB(AiO), Msi MPG and MEG series(keep away from MAG series), NZXT, Thermatake and XPg levante who wants a 420 mm aio , the correct choose is Arctic Freezer II 420 . In your case, try to found Corsair proper bracket on marketplace(is really cheap, ~13 dollars, their site or contact them to send the proper bracket
Thanks Jay for this great review. I’d love to see a comparison with other AIOs like Steve does. I wonder if this fun innovation is the best they could do to low some degrees. I hope the innovations will be better than just a fun a all of this cool things of screens and hub that are not related to the efficiency of the cooling. I love ROG product when for me has a value. But this one, that seems pretty nice, I really don’t know how improve the thermal efficiency over sustained time. And I still wonder why the contact area with the CPU is a circle and not a square. It should cover the whole superficie of the CPU. I love the AIOs, but I will choose the one that have the most thermal efficient, no just the cosmetics. I hope you or Steve can make a good comparison with other brands. I wish you all the best for the 2022! Happy new year!
sonal owner here of one and i love mine. had the corsair top of the line one before the new lcd ones and the screen on it is awesome. i really like the hub too i am using alot of corsair hubs tho and my rgb fans. its nice that u dont have to plug into the aio fan on the mb and not get an error in the bios.
Nothing fully covers 12th gen right now, it's bullshit people are still not talking about this, the first version of the cooler in this video was proven to be the absolute worst for contact deeming it useless. And everyone wonders why they have heat problems on 12th gen
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to Jay, Nick, Phil, Brian, and all of your families. Thank you so much for persevering through this tumultuous year and continuing to inspire us. You have the support of this community and I can't wait to see what comes next. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks. Had this cooler and love it. Thinking about getting rgb fans and doing push pull to get the great fans still and the rgb. Also didn't know what that software was for. Installed it I think and never touched it and then was annoyed the temps were mostly 0 so ill look at that now. Thanks and hope you had a great christmas
Hey Jay, I just fitted my new Deepcool 750w modular PSU. I wanted modular because I wanted LESS rats nest. But it is just as bad, with extra bits hanging off. You really NEED to do a video to show the cables that come with every PSU, and or, how or where to get decent replacements. I cannot be the only one and you more than most go on about cable management.
@@JosefRudy Cablemod, right, so even more money thrown away on a set of cables that will cost as much or more than the PSU, and zero guarantee that they will be any better Perhaps Jay could review extension/replacement cables. That would be useful too.
I got mine a few weeks ago upgrade from the first one and it's definitely an improvement, love that they gave us a control box with the amount of cables we had on the first one it was a mess. Uk price I paid was about £300
@@mikerzisu9508 wouldn't say it was perfect it had its hang ups and didn't read correct temps, the wiring was subpar, lack of control box made capable management a pain. Besides it's 3 years old now it's not like it's brand new and if I want to upgrade I'll upgrade. No major reason to upgrade to a 30 series from 20 series but a good chunk of us have. You gonna bitch about that too? Or just salty that we can afford things like this?
@@chrism2150 I can afford as many as I want, just love pointing out snobs that replaced one expensive component for another for no reason then try to flex about it.

Finally building my 12900K after having it sit for the last 2 months and I’m thankful to finally have this AIO after waiting so long. Many people are flaming it because it’s cost, but it’s a beautiful cooler for sure. Can’t wait to power it up! Merry Christmas All!
@@rahliE777 Thanks! The best part in waiting is I managed to get Vengeance DDR5. That’s why I have waited so long to assemble. Got lucky on NewEgg Shuffle and won a combo. Would rather of had the Dominator or G.Skill but i’m not complaining! Very, very fortunate.
@@aluckyshot awesome, good luck to you too. So far the junction box for the fans included with the AIO make it so much easier to connect RGB. 6 outputs for Fans and RGB to one cable so it was a breeze tightening up the wiring. Much nicer than using splitters. Now i’m finally doing the cleanup on wire then to run the strimmers and install the PSU and i’m ready to bootup.
Cool. I have an Arctic Freezer 240mm. Same type of little fan on the block and a variable speed pump. While I was watching this, I got curious and launched Cinebench. So with that and Chrome running, my CPU leveled out at 77C. My fans hit 70% and pump speed hit 55%. It idles at 49C. That's a Ryzen 7 5700G. I imagine the difference in size of the coolers makes the difference in temps. It would be more tempting if not for the price. Maybe the next build. Thanks for the info.
@@aftermax01 Room was about 72F and the case is a Corsair 4000D. I have replaced the plastic front cover with the tempered glass one from a 4000 RGB. As I sit here, the CPU is 48C and the GPU (1070) is 43C). Case seems to do okay.
which revision of arctic cooler do you have? there is 2 different ways you can mount arctic coolers. resulting in a 5°C difference. and also Ryzen runs really hot because the heat is coming from tiny chiplets. Ryzen 9 5900X runs cooler than the 5800X despite having more cores. 5800X has 8 cores in a single chiplet while the 5900x has 6 cores in 2 chiplets so the heat is less intensive in a single spot. my 3700X also runs above 70°C when i fire up a stress test or cinebench with my freezer 2 280mm AIO.
I love how one of the big sellingpoints of AIOs is that the block’s small so it doesn’t take up so much space on the motherboard. Meanwhile ASUS decides to build a AIO that currently probably has the chunkiest block in the world

9:18 When you hit Default it set the fan curve - I believe you just need to click on the line to add additional points to move
nope.. hitting the line doesnt add additional points.. kinda stupid...
The controller hub should use 2.5" drive mounting. That way you would not have to bodge it in with velcro.
Simple but effective, how did they not consider that.
It does have it. That's how I have mine mounted.
You can skip that by using a thin sheet of magnet actually since the hub is metal. At least that's the reason for that material choice if my assumptions are correct.
Wouldn't that block at least some of the side ports?
It does
I like that it moves air around the cooler. Active cooling makes such a huge difference.
Indeed it does
Yes. Which is why I love the Artic liquid freezer, but this is one step up. Love it
unnecessary gimmick as good boards will have good vrm heatsinks.
@@octoslut This is totally untrue. Pretty much every brand, at some point releases a high end board with poor cooling around the socket. Reviewers point this out regularly. If you want to purchase a board with bad cooling, nobody is stopping you.

not very advanced, just some more lights. i'm waiting for a 24" 240hz monitor on the cooler
Trends I would like to see in the PC market next year (inspired by Noctua's collaboration with ASUS):

2. AIOs sold without any included fans
Imagine the flexibility it would give PC builders to customize their machines (without generating tons of e-waste) Of course prices should be adjusted accordingly.
ive always thought bare video cards for water cooling builders would be neat too but I am guessing way too niche for getting a SKU.
Can it still be called an AIO if it's missing major component like the included fans?
You can use any fans you want on an aio tho? I have the 1st Gen if ryuigen and put better fans on it..I wish they included a tool go pop off the cooling lines for routing purposes
@@yunsha9986 You could always call it by what it really is.. pre-assembled water cooling with crappy components.
@@Brandon9400 His point is to not generate e-waste.
I just put in my build the new Aorus cooler, also comes with a screen on the pump which you can customise in the software (I have it display the CPU's temp), has RGB in the fans and I have been very impressed with it. It's 240mm and it's cooling an intel i7 12th gen and on idle I'm getting 28-29 degrees Celsius, when gaming or doing video editing it will go to about 55C.
The ROG AIO here in the UK costs about 100 pounds more than the Aorus one, and I didn't see anything in this video that justifies that price difference, so I think I would have made the same choice again.
Thanks for the feedback, I was looking at the Aorus AIO as well.
Merry Christmas Jay! Just built my first PC ever. You were the first source of information that I came across when I first started learning about PCs. I’ve always loved the content. Thank you for playing a big part in my love for computers and tech!

Building PCs is so easy nowadays, y'all kids have it lucky, back in my day.....
Sounds like an awesome Christmas! I'm jealous I miss assembling PCs, it's so much fun. Enjoy!
too bad he doesn’t read RUclips comments 🤨🧐😬🤔
Specs???
I feel like Jay is my computer dad. My actual dad isnt dead or anything, Jay is just PC dad.
I bought this earlier in the month and now I finished buying the rest of my first gaming rig. I hope it can keep the i9-13900K cool, picked it up on sale for $100 off MSRP and just recently learned that its a very hot CPU.
Let us now how it managed with the i9 13900, hopes are it's gonna do its job perfectly!!
how are the temps looking?
I'd also like to know how the temps are looking once you gather some data, please.
I got it for $189 technically $204 with shipping. Newegg wanted $400 and multiple others wanted $350 plus. Shits ass dawg. Only caveat is that it takes a month to get here. It’s whatever I don’t have the GPU or SSD yet…
Jay, could you make a video detailing how to install the ryujin 2 from the mounting to the cables and stuff? I'm interested in this AIO but I'm a total noob and have some level of learning disability so I'm easily confused by the cables and stuff. It's the main reason why I've avoided AIOs and liquid cooling all my PC fiddling life.
Been using this AIO for a week now. It’s so beautiful.
Whats the model of this AIO? thnx!
@@nightwingzero8905 Product page is literally in the video description buddy. Or you could have just watched the first few mins of the video. Lol
@@kaleidodeer a’ight thanks, weird, my internet was acting up, I will check it out later once more. Thanks for the heads up
could u tell me please where did connect the usb cable that came from the pump ? is it usb 2.0 header in the MOB ?
Merry Christmas happy holidays Jay and everyone
You forgot to test (or mention) how effective the VRM cooling is. Was looking forward to hearing how effective it is from the moment you showed the fan underneath the display.
Checkout Steve's review of the Arctic's Freezer ii series for usefulness of VRM cooling. It outperfomers this overpriced ASUS AiO for much less money.
@@notgonnahappen7899 I saw that review. This one has a beefier fan. Was really curious to hear about it.
@@notgonnahappen7899 I think the LGA1700 bracket is way better on the freezer II as well. Keeps the IHS nice and flat so you make good contact.
I have the first ryujin and it keeps them cool with just precision boost overdrive activated on my dark hero board. I'm running a ryzen 9 5950x and a red devil 6800xt with two sticks of corsair vengeance in a cougar panzer max case. When I put my hand over the exhaust (in my room that stays at 65° year round) I feel literally NO heat. Btw. I have my 750w psu venting in through the back of the case and immediately out thru the bottom of the case. Next to it on the bottom of the case I put an extra fan for exhaust because there's a plastic partition that separates the lower third of the case from the rest of the case. The oled on the cooler never reads over 30C while playing games and usually stays below 25c while idol or just watching Netflix. I don't think I've turned it off sense I built it.
Yet another statement from Jay that shows how limited his knowledge is - talking about how the vrms and ram need cooling - this has been repeatedly shown to NOT be the case by Gamers Nexus and HardwareUnboxed (unless you have a cheap Asrock board in which case you need all the help you can get). Jays statement seems to be very pandering to a minor feature of this, almost as if he was asked to say it. This entire video is basically an advert and pretty poor tech journalism.
Merry christmas Jay 🎄
Wishing Jay and family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes and also thank you for the knowledge and inspiration you have give to myself and your subscribers throughout the past year and this one also especially with what's been going on...Keep up the work and also the teams..wishing your teams a best health in to come..such a credit to RUclips
Oh do shutup
It's "REE-YOU-GEEN" not "RA-YOU-GEN"!
I have the Ryujin 240 for over 2 years now and I love it! On a i9-9900k the Noctua fans are still while idling. I added some LED Halo Rings from Phantheks in between the fans and the the radiator so the lighting is also fixed. I'll definitely buy this new 360 for my next build.
Also, Armory Crate is FINALLY working properly but it took way too long.
It is undoubtedly one of the nicest looking aios out there, too bad most of the performance reviews have given it underwhelming value / performance
value/performance 420mm Arctic Freezer II still best
Standard Asetek cooler with a cheapy screen and a fan slapped on. Not for me!
typical of asus junk, overpriced.
@@Hito343 ok but that's 420 mm
My main question. What is the life span? Hear MSI's can be half a year from reviews.
Arctic Liquid freezer 2 also has a small fan for circulating a bit of air around the VRMs , RAM etc. This is especially useful for those cases/builds where there's no decent air circulation within the case itself
@Mirsad Redzovic amazing, yes. the next level after that (in terms of function) would be a custom loop.
and I also have it on 5950X . working great, looks nice and no difference if I boot windows or Linux. :)
I would love to see a video of PC maintenance over a few years of owning one. Like whether you have to apply new thermal over a while etc... Love this cooler!
google has the craziest results on this. I personally reapply fresh thermal paste once a year, but I use my hardware a lot and it's just what I do. most cases, 2-3 years is fine. dust management on the other hand should be done quite regularly, once a week, once every other week.
Im just lazy but never had a problem with poor maintainance. My old PC survived 7 years on same thermal paste and very little cleaning, everyday use. From my experience PC hardware is generally more durable than one might think. Under 100C and no driver issues and it probably wont randomly die. Obviously if you care about your components it doesnt hurt to clean it once a year.
I've never reapplied paste on any of my PCs. The last one went 6+ years just fine. As long as your temps are good, don't worry.
I've never reapplied thermal paste just as a matter of maintenance. I'm running a 4700k on a PC that's been in use for like 18 hours a day for over 8 years, and there's never been a change in core temperatures that would indicate a need for reapplication. I would suggest recording your temps soon after building so you have a comparison point a year later and can decide for yourself. If the temps don't change, I don't see why there would be any reason to do this.
@@internisus my temps aren't an issue. like I said in my first reply, it's just what I do. you get a 5g tube of paste with a shelf life of about 3 years, worth the purchase with a yearly refresh tbh.
Yes, the other componetns need moving air, too. Thats the reason i cool my pcs just with air instead of water. These AIO often have to be replaced after 2-3 years. After that the danger of leaks raise dangerous high. Or Pump failures etc. I had enough PCs in my workshop with leaking AIOs. I hate them...
BUT i have to say, this thing here is kinda cool with that display. I JUST WANT THAT DISPLAY!
I am also team aircooling. I was thinking about an aio when i built my o11 xl system. But i kept with bequiet dark rock 4. I even think air coolers are way more sexy ;)
@@audiophobia82 I have several PCs here. One is a Ryzen 3700x with an Alpenföhn Brocken 3 to cool it. The other is a Ryzen 3900x with a Scythe Mugen Rev. 2 TUF Version to cool it. Both work great.
Watercooling is at the end an aircooler too. But with a detour. I have tested several AIO, yes the temps are more stable for a few hours. BUT if the fluid is warm, maybe cause you render for 10 hours, you cant get it cool without shutdown the pc.
With Air Cooling you put the fans 2-5 minutes to max and the system is cool again.
I've been using AIOs for many years now. Never had any issues. No need to replace, I had my first for like 6 years and it was still working perfectly when I sold it. I guess it depends on the quality. I don't buy cheap.
@@TobiasRieperGER
That detour is important. You get a much bigger surface area and you can dump the heat outside of the case. Plus you get a lot inertia. Cars use liquid cooling too, gas and electric.
Why do yo care about cooling down? If you can run your PC for hours without overheating, what's the problem? Who cares if the fluid is warm.
@@andrasbiro3007 First, why the hell do you double posting? Use Edit.
Second, IF Fluid gets warm, there is no chance to get it cold again. Rendering for several hours could bring fluid temps to 60-65°C. Now you stop the work, fluid stays in this temps for long time even after finisching rendering. Now your CPU produce 35°C and is flooded with 60° fluid. Now it works in the other direction.
Do you know what diffusion is?
Fluid become less over time. So your watercooling unit, even if it is a closed system, loose fluid. It disappears thru the rubber, seals or whatever. And in most AIO you can't fill it up. In a Custom Loop you can, but there you have to switch out the fluid all few years, cause it gets bad over time. Jay made a video about that. I say that, cause i bet you will not believe me. So listen to another pro.
Resaon for that is material mix. Most units have copper pump housings and aluminium radiators. These don't fit together and produce rust in the system. That can clog up the pump and other stuff.
As i said, my 3900x renders, it has just a simple Scythe Mugen on it. This thing just reach 65°C with overclock to 4200 mhz on all 12 cores. After work, fans go down to normal, after 2 minutes CPU is at 35°C again. And if i render for hours, there is no change to it.
Watercooling is always louder than simple air cooling. I have 7 fans in my cases. The loudest one is the PSU. Its a Be Quiet Pure Power 11. Even my GPU has a semi passive mode and just turns the fans when starting the PC. After the boot it never makes any noise.
And pls explain to me, how i can install a AIO so the radiator is outside the case without dismantle it or cutting my case? And where do i have to mount the radiator when it is outside the case?
And how long the AIO lasts is not a simple messure. It counts how many hours it runs per day and what speed the pump goes. I have seen several units where the pump just stopped, cause it clogged up or just broke. The rubber hoses are often simple cheap ones, no reinforcements or so. They become hard and porous. The same with sealings. So why should i risk a leak that could destroy my expensive hardware? All in all my PCs are worth 2000-2500 Bucks (before Chip Crisis) and today 3500 bucks.
All works, all is cool, all is silent. No ticking time bomb in my case. And cause i use liquid metal thermal paste, i have to check it once in 10 years.
Sorry, all in all Watercooling just has disadvantages, and we haven't talked about the price. Maybe you need watercooling for power guzzling Intel CPUs, but who the hell still buys those wasters?
Merry Christmas to you and everyone. Have a great new year, and many more good shows.
We need a compilation of every time jay says “I Digress”
Merry Xmas Jay. God bless you and the whole work family family. A techperous new year
That's a giant pump block with that fan in it. I went with the phanteks Glacier One 360MP because if you take the cover of the pump it's the lowest profile Asetek pump block I could find. I used the NZXT Kraken G12 bracket to mount it to my Radeon 5700XT and it's still a two-slot card with the pump on it. Not the intended use case but it works well.
Merry Christmas Jay and friends! May your temps stay low and the frames high.
Ekwb Elite RGB still has the nicest CPU waterblock imho. Asus ROG is nice yet also expensive and not worth the extra money considering performance between Artic and EKWB
ayyyy nice another upload yay
I have the Ryujin 1 on a 5900x and it is working fantastic. I'll get this Ryujin 2 when I do the next build.
clicking the amazon links dont bring up the product.
I love this AIO cooler! It comes with very efficient fans and you barely notices it under load. The software side is not the best though, Armoury crate can lag sometimes and doesn't let you choose too large gifs or videos to put on the display. All-in-all it's a must have for the price/performance ratio!
Have they fixed that issue at all since your comment ?
Have you had any performance issues around the Armory Crate software? I heard its massive bloatware.
It is a difficult name, but "R " from "righteous", "YU" from "you", and "JIN" from "gin". Basically the "R" isn't "are". Sometimes random YT vids can be helpful.
Would have loved to have gotten one of the these for my build. I have a Corsair 150i Pro. My temps still seem to be high, 35 to 40 degrees on semi-idle on my 5900X, I think I need to re-paste my CPU.
the R in Ryu is actually often pronounced like a D or close to a D
i have lkoved the version 1, but after 3rma`s i gave up and got my noctuha nhd15 back. cooling was never a problem. the aio worked awesome. but the stupid small oled screen they had on the pump block, either burned in over time(even at circeling temp and voltage readouts) or was broken from the get go.
I’ve been seeing owners with OLED burn in problems as well opting for the LED version instead.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I have the first one and MY GOD! I Hate That VRM fan! It's so obnoxiously loud!
I was gonna replace it with a custom loop, until I got a TUF 3070Ti which makes it pointless. It runs at 60C max at 280 watts. Hits it's Voltage limit and never hits that 320 that it can do. Also never strays from 2.1ghz on the core and 21k on the memory. Makes me kinda sad it wont do that extra 10% on the Power, but it's framerates are only like 5% behind a 3080 so... More efficient and not needed I guess. FH4 maxed out, 1440p, with the benchmark, its like 18 FPS behind a 400 watt 3090 FTW3 Hybrid.... Mind Blown.
Now I just want this AIO but not pay $500.......
UPDATE: 5 minutes later I found one for $300...... maybe
It's pretty cool, something I've wanted since the Kraken Z is the ability to customize a little screen in my PC to look like an old-school JDM style boost gauge. It's such a shame you can only choose between an animated GIF or a couple of pre-baked system values.
I want this too. Boost gauge would be so freaking awesome
I guess my pick is between the Artic Cooling Liquid Freezer II and this new ASUS ROG Ryugin II.
[looks up prices]
I guess my pick is the Artic Cooling Liquid Freezer II.
The arctic liquid freezer 360 has a small fan above the pump for cooling ram components, too. And its around 180dollar less in price.
And that tiny fan is just as trash...each time I install the LF II i disconnect that fan right away. It does nothing except for being noisy and very noisy after about a year or so.
Yeah Arctic is best when it comes to cooling, 100% agree. Ryujin and Asus in general is overpriced
@@puciohenzap891 Im not sure if you can here the small fan. I guess everything in your pc is louder than the small pump fan :D in my chase i cant here it at all.
and im not even shure that you can disconnect the small fan.
NZXT Z AIO still holds the crown, best AIO by far.
merry christmas brother may you and your family have fun
My RYUO 240 has screen burn in. Asus said I can send it in for warranty. They will not cross ship a new unit so I can still use my PC and not wait weeks for the replacement to arrive. This is why I'm getting a Kraken Z soon.
I don't even have a pc that can use this but let's watch the video for no reason at all, merry Christmas jay
The fact that the Headers on the controller aren't on their separate sides kind triggers some OCD inside of me xD
Love you jay!!!!

It's a nice AIO, but I can't see myself paying that much for an AIO cooler.
glad you can't because I just bought it as they're becoming hard to get
Just picked one up. Gotta keep the Rog 3090 cool.
I just bought the RGB one for 360 euros 💀
Awful prices indeed now a Ryujin 3 is coming out lol
@@Kizzster damn what 💀 how are they gonna improve it any further
it's just another expensive asotech. they are all made in the same factory.
go EK or arctic if you want something better
What happened to the RTFM Show?
Nice to see it comes with LGA 1700 bracket now...
Looks sweet. So from my understanding that names means "dragon" or something like that. Just knowing the name, I would've thought this was an MSI product o.O
Not gonna give up my Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 though, which I still think/feel is one of the best AIO's ever made (so far). It cools my 12700k w/o breaking a sweat.
Happy holidays, to Jay & Co.
Probably 竜神, Meaning dragon god/king.
Your LFII is a way better cooler than this overpriced heap of rubbish.
Merry Christmas Jay and Fam.
Very good content to end off techmas. Thank you for the quality content Jay and Merry Christmas!
I was looking into getting this AIO, I got my hands on the Asus Rog 3090 and Thor PSU and decided I wanted to go with a all Rog build. Thanks for the reviewing this!
I really like the idea of having a fan on the CPU coldplate/pump to help cool down the VRMs and chokes. I've only seen a couple of AIOs with this feature though - really needs to become more standard as VRMS on a high-end system can easily hit over 100 degrees C (In Win have an articulating fan which you can mount on the top of the case and position above the VRMs, but its expensive and despite being an elegant and well designed product still looks a bit odd/borderline jank and has no RGB lol)
Proper case fans are probably enough.
@@JD96893 Not always. Reviewers constantly complain about about VRM temps usually on some lower end Asus Boards, MSI and Asrock.
when we gonna talk about dialing in the torque of your waterblock under load.
I’ve done two Ryzen chip builds. The first one was with the stock cooler and had no problem putting that on the chip. The second one is my wife’s build with an AIO, and yes I honestly found that little rectangular pin that you tighten to be quite a pain in the rear end
The msi coreliquid 360 was extremely easy to mount
Liquid freezer 2 is the best for ryzen and it uses a different system.
@@opachki8325 I've been telling people Asus copied off of them with the vrm cooling fan. Has better mounting than other AIOs etc my arctic liquid freezer 2 280 is still chilling everything perfectly. Most AIOs use the same shit same core company design it's why they all look identical. Arctic creates their own designs uses beefier radiators as well man it was a tight squeeze in my case chunky
Well that’s easy to fix. Don’t stick the pin in your rear and you won’t have any pain. Problem solved!
I've done several ryzen builds this year and none i would consider "pain the the rear end"
NZXT Z73 (avoid this now that ek has a comparable model but cheaper), LianLi Galahad 360 and one custom loop with ek magnitude block. Which AIO did you use?
Just put the 240 in my rig last week. Love it.
Sadly not the good NF-A12x25 fans, and for the price, they absolutely should be. The NF-F12s are not very good when it comes to noise vs performance, they actually get quite loud.
I have the Ryujin 1, god the fans are so annoying and loud, even tho they are the same noctuas as the 2. The VRM cooler is overrated, unless you dont have any other fan in your case. Also, Armoury Crate, althought not as buggy as other propietary softwares, is annoying to use and sync. In terms of cooling, my 5950x idles at 28/33° C (currently in summer) and peaks at 68°c, using the CTR profiles with a 4.9 all cores boost.
They are the industiral PPC fans, not the quiet optimised ones. PPC's are all about cooling performance, but they are a bit louder as a result.
@@AutoRestore1 ha, my latest upgrade to armoury crate completed borked itself. it will not recognise my Tuf 6800xt or the corsair ram that it happily recognised before. I'm currently having to use iCue to sort out the RGB on my asus mobo, gpu and aforementioned ram.
Merry Christmas Jay & Family!!
That is a bit pricey for a 360 AIO. Being flashy is fine, but I will stick with my custom watercooling.
Not to mention that it is now a really old design with just a fancy screwed glued on. From a cooling perspective this gets murdered by EK and Arctic models.
Rog does water cooling also?
@@malphadour Yea, I got myself an Arctic Liquid Freezer II, good stuff. The ROG AIO surely looks great, but at this point the thing costs as much as a high-end CPU (7. Generation pump edition) and you're not getting any performance benefit.
Yea. And bro in a world where aios like the cooler master master liquid with sub ambient cooling exists, you can't possibly compare normal aios like this to that. It's just absurd.
The one thing I really like about this is the length... really long. I was told that it's not about the size, length and whatever that matters, it's how you use em...
I like my 240 mm thermaltake but i with i have a software to control the led but sadly its just sata powered
This is going in my next build
Holy shit now I don't know if I want this to match my ROG Crosshair VIII MoBo or if I still wanna get the H150i Elite Capellix LCD to match my case *HNNNNNNNGGGGG*
I'm torn between the two as well. I already have both armory crate and iCue and I want to stay withing those ecosystem.
if you already have corsair rgb in fans etc..stick to it, I tried mix matching it looked bad colors didn't match and it was really annoying, if you don't have rgb good for you you're a free man ! I wish I didn't get the "rgb disease" lol
The fact it's using AIDA64 is great as that's one of the only systems that Rainmeter will already hook into. I wish they would configure these new displays as monitors so you can put anything you want on them, with Windows alone.
This will have to be a late Christmas present for myself, looks so cool!
Merry Christmas Jay and Family
I think I've reached the point where I need to replace my AIO (Been about 4 years at least on this rig?) but I want to replace my case first.
I love this case but the front vents are a 1inch wide strap down the side? Wtf I failed here
Only 4 years? The Corsair H50 (I believe!) 120mm AIO that has been on my 4770K rig has only been reposted once in the 7/8 years since I built it!!!! Temps are still the same even under consistent heavy loads re-encoding video fromh 2160p H264 to HEVC/x265 that they were when it was first installed. I thought I would have had to replace it by now due to evaporation of the liquid over that time span. When I replace the H110i in my 8700 rig, I will then put that on the 4770K & retire the H50/H50i/whatever it is (or buy a decent air cooler for it as it is just used for encoding video & as my Plex server.

Why can't you monitor things like flow rate, water in/out Temps with AIOs?

I cringed every time he mispronounced Ryujin 🤣
i been using the first one for over 2 years now and i had no problems with temps or anything else,
i paid £80 used form FB marketplace
The arctic freezer ll also has the fan over the cpu to cool other components on the motherboard and it is cheaper if you want an aio with this feature
Exactly. And it's plug and play, 1 single connector to the mobo
I’ve just “upgraded” form the Thermaltake Floe Riing RGB 360 TT Premium Edition, to a Corsair iCure H170i Elite Capellix, and super disappointed, The TT has the proper AM4 bracket, the Corsair uses the crappy clip one… So it’s great to see this AIO uses a good mount as well.
Is a "crime" a cooler at this premium level, using ultra chip brackets for AMD. It demonstrated companies like that doesn't care about AMD high end users
Corsair doesn't care about AMD user in AIO segment. They only care about AMD on custom water cooler segment
It’s crazy as their older models had the 4 screw fitting AM4 mounts.
@@PilotBusaKaine corsiar said they will add 4 screw bracket in every Aio soon . They need to sell and give 4 screw bracket for everyone that already buyed Aio coolers .
\The Only corsair that has proper bracket is lcd version .
this downgrade in some ""manufactures"" demontrated totally desrespect about amd users
one tip for AMD Ryzen users: keep miles away from Aio made from Corsair, Lianli , Cooler Master(only Aio , because the CoolerMaster AirCoolers uses the proper bracket), BeQuiet, Fractal Design, Msi Mag series( Msi MEG an MPG series uses proper Bracket with very good quality).
AIO ""manufacturers"" that repect AMD user and offer proper bracket are Aorus/Gigabyte, Asus RoG and Tuf , Arctic, Cougar, DeePCool Castle(Only Castle Series has proper brackets), Evga , EKWB(AiO), Msi MPG and MEG series(keep away from MAG series), NZXT, Thermatake and XPg levante
who wants a 420 mm aio , the correct choose is Arctic Freezer II 420
.
In your case, try to found Corsair proper bracket on marketplace(is really cheap, ~13 dollars, their site or contact them to send the proper bracket
Thanks Jay for this great review. I’d love to see a comparison with other AIOs like Steve does. I wonder if this fun innovation is the best they could do to low some degrees. I hope the innovations will be better than just a fun a all of this cool things of screens and hub that are not related to the efficiency of the cooling. I love ROG product when for me has a value. But this one, that seems pretty nice, I really don’t know how improve the thermal efficiency over sustained time. And I still wonder why the contact area with the CPU is a circle and not a square. It should cover the whole superficie of the CPU. I love the AIOs, but I will choose the one that have the most thermal efficient, no just the cosmetics. I hope you or Steve can make a good comparison with other brands.
I wish you all the best for the 2022! Happy new year!
Every single Asetek cold plate is circular.
this pump is the best pump I've ever seen. if I designed a pump it would have all these features and more argbw accents for more customization.
Jay's the best
sonal owner here of one and i love mine. had the corsair top of the line one before the new lcd ones and the screen on it is awesome. i really like the hub too i am using alot of corsair hubs tho and my rgb fans. its nice that u dont have to plug into the aio fan on the mb and not get an error in the bios.
It always feels weird to me seeing a circular cooling plate that is supposed to go on a square or rectangular CPU.
Nothing fully covers 12th gen right now, it's bullshit people are still not talking about this, the first version of the cooler in this video was proven to be the absolute worst for contact deeming it useless.
And everyone wonders why they have heat problems on 12th gen

Now there are three things to worry about - not enough fluid / big air bubble, leaks, and dead pixels.
And plenty of other fails making it unfit for purpose.
Thanks. Had this cooler and love it. Thinking about getting rgb fans and doing push pull to get the great fans still and the rgb. Also didn't know what that software was for. Installed it I think and never touched it and then was annoyed the temps were mostly 0 so ill look at that now. Thanks and hope you had a great christmas
Hey Jay, I just fitted my new Deepcool 750w modular PSU. I wanted modular because I wanted LESS rats nest. But it is just as bad, with extra bits hanging off. You really NEED to do a video to show the cables that come with every PSU, and or, how or where to get decent replacements. I cannot be the only one and you more than most go on about cable management.
Doing every PSU would be hard. If you want custom you look at cable mod
@@JosefRudy Cablemod, right, so even more money thrown away on a set of cables that will cost as much or more than the PSU, and zero guarantee that they will be any better
Perhaps Jay could review extension/replacement cables. That would be useful too.
How can this be the 'most advanced' cooler when it's a standard Asetek AIO?
Very misleading title. "Most Glitzy Ancient Cooler" would be better title.
I got mine a few weeks ago upgrade from the first one and it's definitely an improvement, love that they gave us a control box with the amount of cables we had on the first one it was a mess. Uk price I paid was about £300
Why replace a perfectly good aio… dumb
@@mikerzisu9508 wouldn't say it was perfect it had its hang ups and didn't read correct temps, the wiring was subpar, lack of control box made capable management a pain. Besides it's 3 years old now it's not like it's brand new and if I want to upgrade I'll upgrade. No major reason to upgrade to a 30 series from 20 series but a good chunk of us have. You gonna bitch about that too? Or just salty that we can afford things like this?
@@chrism2150 I can afford as many as I want, just love pointing out snobs that replaced one expensive component for another for no reason then try to flex about it.
@@mikerzisu9508 i gave my thought on new tech if that makes me a snob then I guess that makes every tech RUclips a snob also 🤷♂️ I can flex how well off i am if that makes you feel any better?
@@chrism2150 tech youtubers review hardware for a living, a lot of it gets loaned or donated to them. You on the other hand are just here to flex, plain and simple. Wasted $300 for no reason lol, minor upgrade... questionable whether it even was an upgrade at all. But hey man, you do you.
The Eisbaer extreme disagrees 🤓
happy holidays to jay and everyone else, stay safe out there
It would be great if ASUS sold that fan hub separately.
Knowing asus it would cost $150
Merry Christmas Jay thanks for the Videos
Finally building my 12900K after having it sit for the last 2 months and I’m thankful to finally have this AIO after waiting so long. Many people are flaming it because it’s cost, but it’s a beautiful cooler for sure. Can’t wait to power it up! Merry Christmas All!
Great combo, enjoy!
@@rahliE777 Thanks! The best part in waiting is I managed to get Vengeance DDR5. That’s why I have waited so long to assemble. Got lucky on NewEgg Shuffle and won a combo. Would rather of had the Dominator or G.Skill but i’m not complaining! Very, very fortunate.
Good luck with the build, doing a similar one here.
@@aluckyshot awesome, good luck to you too. So far the junction box for the fans included with the AIO make it so much easier to connect RGB. 6 outputs for Fans and RGB to one cable so it was a breeze tightening up the wiring. Much nicer than using splitters. Now i’m finally doing the cleanup on wire then to run the strimmers and install the PSU and i’m ready to bootup.
@@aluckyshot i’ll post an imgur link when I finish to show you the end result! Post yours too!
Cool. I have an Arctic Freezer 240mm. Same type of little fan on the block and a variable speed pump. While I was watching this, I got curious and launched Cinebench. So with that and Chrome running, my CPU leveled out at 77C. My fans hit 70% and pump speed hit 55%. It idles at 49C. That's a Ryzen 7 5700G. I imagine the difference in size of the coolers makes the difference in temps. It would be more tempting if not for the price. Maybe the next build. Thanks for the info.
It also depends on room temperature and case airflow
arctic AIOs are much better than than asus ones..
@@aftermax01 Room was about 72F and the case is a Corsair 4000D. I have replaced the plastic front cover with the tempered glass one from a 4000 RGB. As I sit here, the CPU is 48C and the GPU (1070) is 43C). Case seems to do okay.
which revision of arctic cooler do you have? there is 2 different ways you can mount arctic coolers. resulting in a 5°C difference. and also Ryzen runs really hot because the heat is coming from tiny chiplets. Ryzen 9 5900X runs cooler than the 5800X despite having more cores. 5800X has 8 cores in a single chiplet while the 5900x has 6 cores in 2 chiplets so the heat is less intensive in a single spot. my 3700X also runs above 70°C when i fire up a stress test or cinebench with my freezer 2 280mm AIO.
@@SweatyFeetGirl Arctic Liquid Freezer II mounted fan on top like the directions for Ryzen applications.
I love how one of the big sellingpoints of AIOs is that the block’s small so it doesn’t take up so much space on the motherboard.
Meanwhile ASUS decides to build a AIO that currently probably has the chunkiest block in the world
AIO head so large it needs its own small and loud fan to cool VRM
