ASUS ROG STRIX LC III 360 ARGB (360mm AIO Liquid/Asetek Gen7 Pump/Mainstream ROG Line/ARGB) Review

The ASUS ROG STRIX LC III 360 ARGB is ASUS's mainstream 360mm AIO, sitting below the display-equipped ROG RYUJIN III in the ROG cooling lineup, using an Asetek Gen7 pump and standard ARGB fans to bring ROG branding and Armoury Crate integration to a more accessible price point.

Thermal Performance

An Asetek Gen7 pump and 360mm radiator handle roughly 270W of TDP, solid mainstream-flagship performance a step below the RYUJIN III's more advanced Gen8 V2 pump platform.

Design and Software

Standard ARGB fans without a pump-head display keep the price well below the RYUJIN III, while Armoury Crate still handles lighting and fan curve control for buyers wanting a consistent ROG software experience.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the ASUS ROG RYUJIN III 360 ARGB Extreme, covered elsewhere on this site, the RYUJIN III's larger LCD and more advanced pump justify a substantially higher price for buyers who want the flagship display; this STRIX LC III delivers the same Armoury Crate ecosystem and comparable core cooling for considerably less. Against the NZXT Kraken Plus RGB, also covered elsewhere on this site, the two compete closely on price and thermals, with the choice largely down to preferred software ecosystem.

Expert rating8.1 / 10

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

Best for

ASUS ecosystem buyers who want ROG branding and Armoury Crate integration at mainstream pricing.
Flagship-class builds needing roughly 270W of headroom without RYUJIN III's display premium.
Buyers who want ARGB lighting without paying for a pump-head LCD they may not use.

Not for

Not for buyers who want the biggest available ROG display, where the RYUJIN III 360 ARGB Extreme, covered elsewhere on this site, has the 3.5-inch LCD.
Not for buyers chasing the best value-per-degree, where the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360, covered elsewhere on this site, generally cools more for less.
Not for buyers with no interest in Armoury Crate or the broader ROG ecosystem.
