ASUS has today revealed the new TUF Gaming LC II 360 AIO Liquid Cooler with dazzling gen 2 ARGB lighting and a beefy 360mm radiator.

ASUS TUF Gaming LC II 360 AIO

I’m quite fond of the ASUS TUF design theme with its rugged and industrial look fitting in quite well with my taste in RGB-less PCs, so a new TUF-themed AIO does pique my interest. This 360mm AIO features the expected rugged design with three 120mm ARGB fans and the block itself almost resembles a crate and features an ARGB TUF logo on the centre. The tubes feature reinforced sleeving to enhance the TUFness and all around is a good complement when paired with a TUF motherboard and TUF GPU.

Performance

This is the first TUF AIO with a 360mm radiator and expands upon the existing lineup of TUF AIOs taking them to new levels of thermal performance. This radiator uses grooved fins to direct airflow with precision which comes from the three 120mm ARGB fans which offer a great balance of airflow, static pressure and quiet operation with noise levels below 29dB. Further reducing noise is the new cooling design with the pump head separated from the motor to reduce vibration noise. Additionally, the AIO uses a new place-and-twist retention mechanism to make installation a snap without the need for tools. Installation is also possible with a wide compatibility of AM4, AM5, LGA 1700, 1200 and 115X sockets.
