The ASUS ROG Strix LC II 360 is a high performance cooling solution no doubt. This is AURA Sync capable so if you want it to get in-sync with the rest of your ASUS AURA capable devices, the data cable is a must.įor an ROG product, I expected more when it comes to the software related features of the Strix LC II 360. Lighting is not exactly simple but is subtle enough to appeal for my taste. Support is nil, least on my version with lighting effects control alone. ![]() Software support is of course a courtesy of the ASUS Armoury Crate. Since the ASUS ROG Strix LC II 360 thermally performs well enough at 25-50% PWM duty cycles, I consider this range as the goldilocks zone between cooling and acoustic performance. Sound level at various PWM duty cycles shows that it could go as low as 34.8dBA and as high as 57.2dBA. Readings are taken directly from a sound level meter. This is done via AIDA64 Extreme and its built-in System Stability Test. Sound pressure level is measured in Decibels (dBA) at various fan duty cycles. TL DR, it hit 88✬ max at full load with that processor. If you’re interested to see the performance of this cooler with the Intel Core i9-12900K, head over to this review. Not really far off from the maximum cycle’s thermal performance. Actually surprised here with the performance at 25% duty cycle. Readings are taken directly from the CPU (Tdie) sensor.Ĭooling performance is excellent for all PWM duty cycles tested. ![]() Temperature is measured in degree Celcius (✬) at system idle and load. The DUT is tested with the following configuration from our test system: This is done so to negate the FOTB (fresh out the box) state of the DUT (device under test), yielding better benchmarking consistency. It is important to note that we are testing the review sample after burn-in, with at least 24-hours of uptime. Our test setup relies on the measurements taken from AIDA64 Extreme. Obviously, I did not use this on an enclosure so your installation difficulty may vary. The tubes are also not that long at 380mm in length, so measure if this could be mounted on your case. You just need the space for them – and an optimized one at that.Ĭable management is not that bad but prepare to do some gymnastics to keep the setup looking clean. Installation is straight forward, as most with enclosed loop setups. ![]() The ASUS ROG Strix LC II 360 appears to be a well made unit but not exactly what I’ve expected for ₱10,995.00 PHP. The radiator itself could house six of these if you’re feeling generous. These are 120mm fans with rated speeds of 800-2500RPM and a noise output of 37.6dBA at unknown RPM. Now ASUS supplied the LC II 360 with their own fans dubbed conveniently as the “ROG radiator fan”. The braided tubes are 11mm in diameter with a total length of 380mm. Pump power on the other hand is supplied by a 4-pin PWM header. This comes with twist lock brackets for both Intel and AMD socket designs.Ĭonnectivity for the AURA Sync (RGB lighting) is provided by a Micro USB to an internal USB 2.0 header. The 55mm water block is made out of cooper and is wide enough to accommodate most IHS designs. The packaging should come with the following items inside: Nothing fancy about this but it’s nice to see ASUS steering away from porous materials such as polystyrene foams. Intel LGA 1700, 1200, 115x, 2011, 2011-3, 2066 AMD AM4, TR4*ĪSUS had the ROG Strix LC II 360 packed with pulp molded internal packaging. Product Page: ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 360 ().The company did not ask me to say anything particular about it. Both comes with the ARGB lighting on the pump and the latter comes with ARGB for both the pump and the fans.ĭisclosure: ASUS sent the ROG Strix LC II 360 for the purpose of this review. This cooler comes in two flavors our model and the ARGB variant. With a 360mm radiator, triple ROG radiator fans and an enlarged copper base pump, the ROG Strix LC II 360 is poised to cool the most challenging processors – at least according to ASUS even without a specified TDP or thermal capacity rating. This is where the ASUS ROG Strix LC II 360 comes into play. ![]() The Intel Core i9-12900K for an instance, comes with a TDP of 241W – limiting the selection of air cooling solutions. The need for capable cooling solutions is at all time high with the release of flagship processors.
