When it comes to AIO liquid coolers, there’s no shortage of options on the market, but once in a while, something truly different comes along. Enter the TRYX Panorama 360 ARGB, a premium AIO cooler that not only delivers on performance but also throws in a fresh take on design and user experience. Whether you’re running an Intel Core i9-13900K, 14900K, or even the Core Ultra 9 285K, this AIO means business, but be warned, it also comes with a premium price tag.
Unboxing
Right from the start, the unboxing experience sets the tone. Unlike most mainstream AIOs, the TRYX Panorama 360 ARGB arrives in a box that feels more like unwrapping a premium piece of tech than a PC component. The design is clean and modern, and everything inside is nicely organized.
The accessories are neatly packed into two small boxes, which we really appreciate, no digging through bags or foam to find mounting brackets or screws. One of the standout items, of course, is the pump unit with its large, curved display. If you enjoy that touch of futuristic flair on your build, this will catch your attention. It’s bold, sleek, and screams high-end.
Another thoughtful inclusion is the pre-applied thermal paste on the pump unit, saving you the trouble of worrying about how much to apply during first installation. TRYX even includes an extra tube of thermal paste for future maintenance, which is a nice touch you don’t always see in this category.
Installation
Installation is relatively straightforward. With the thermal paste pre-applied, the pump goes on without fuss, and the fans come pre-installed on the radiator, saving you even more time during setup, especially helpful if you’re building a new system or doing a quick upgrade.
However, not everything is perfect. The mounting bracket uses plastic clips to hold the screws, and based on our past experience with similar designs, these can be prone to breaking if not handled carefully. While we didn’t encounter an issue during our installation, we’d love to see TRYX consider a more robust solution here in future revisions.
Where TRYX really shines is in its magnetic fan connector system. Cable management is often the least enjoyable part of building a PC, especially when ARGB fans are involved, but TRYX’s solution genuinely helps reduce the typical clutter. It’s simple, effective, and something more brands should adopt.
Performance
Now, onto performance. We ran the TRYX Panorama 360 ARGB through its paces using two of the most thermally demanding CPUs in the consumer space: Intel Core i9-13900K, 14900K, and Core Ultra 9 285K. And the results? Simply impressive, thanks to Asetek’s Emma Gen8 V2 pump.
Compared to one of the best AIOs we have on hand, the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ION 360, the TRYX cooler delivered 8-10°C better temperatures under load. That’s a considerable margin and makes a strong case for TRYX if you’re planning to overclock or just want peace of mind when running intensive workloads.
Throughout stress tests and real-world usage, the cooler remained stable, quiet, and most importantly, kept our CPUs well below thermal throttle limits. If you’re going to pair this with high-end hardware, it won’t let you down.
Final Thoughts
At RM 1,699, the TRYX Panorama 360 ARGB is undeniably a premium cooler. It’s not something most people will pick up casually, but if you’re building a high-end rig and you want the cooling performance to match your flagship CPU, this AIO is worth a serious look.
The standout design, the impressive cooling results, and little touches like pre-installed fans, magnetic connectors, and extra thermal paste help justify the price. Sure, the plastic clip on the mounting bracket gives us some pause, but overall, this is a well-thought-out product from top to bottom.
If you’re in the market for a no-compromise cooler that looks as good as it performs, the TRYX Panorama 360 ARGB earns a spot on our premium pick list. It’s bold, functional, and delivers exactly what high-performance users are looking for.
