The ROG Ryuo series stands out as a top-tier line of high-performance CPU liquid coolers designed specifically for compact and mid-sized gaming setups. Marking ROG's debut in CPU cooling, the Ryuo coolers seamlessly blend performance, functionality, and the iconic design associated with ROG. An exceptional feature of the Ryuo 240 is its integrated 1.77-inch LiveDash color OLED display. This dynamic screen provides real-time monitoring of crucial system metrics, allowing users to keep tabs on temperatures, voltages, fan speeds, and even personalize the display with custom graphics or animations. Notably, compatibility with Asus motherboards ensures optimal hardware monitoring, while image customization is limited to 160 x 128 pixels for JPEG and GIF files.
The LiveDash software offers unparalleled customization, providing users with intuitive control over the OLED display and RGB lighting effects. This includes selecting which system data to monitor, displaying personalized GIFs and images, and regulating RGB lighting seamlessly. The infusion of Aura RGB lighting enhances the aesthetics of the Ryuo, casting a subtle glow that accentuates the CPU as the focal point of any gaming rig. The lighting color and effects can be tailored to complement the OLED display and overall system colors, creating a cohesive and personalized look.
Perfect synchronization is achieved through ASUS Aura Sync, allowing coordinated lighting effects with other Aura-enabled components and peripherals. The Aura software provides comprehensive control over lighting across all supported devices, enabling users to easily set the desired mood.
The Ryuo's radiator fan is finely tuned to work optimally with Ryuo radiators, delivering a cooling efficiency of 81CFM/5.0mm H2O. The pump design is also noteworthy, featuring a cutting-edge cooling-plate design with micro-channels that increase thermal dissipation space for CPU heat. This innovative approach reduces thermal resistance, resulting in enhanced performance and lower temperatures. Backed by a 3-year warranty, the ASUS ROG Ryuo 240MM CPU Cooler stands as a testament to both stunning aesthetics and game-changing cooling capabilities.
