Verdict

ASUS ROG STRIX LC III 360 ARGB

8.1 / 10 Expert Rating

A sensible mainstream entry point into ASUS's ROG cooling ecosystem for buyers who don't need the RYUJIN III's flagship display.

Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360 Atmos

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A cooler whose distinctive ring-fan design is a genuine aesthetic differentiator more than a thermal one.
