ASUS Announces TUF Gaming LC II 360 ARGB AIO Liquid Cooler
ASUS has introduced the TUF Gaming LC II 360 ARGB AIO liquid cooler, featuring a 360 mm radiator, Gen 2 ARGB lighting, and compatibility with various chassis and CPU sockets.
The TUF Gaming LC II ARGB series is designed to enhance the performance and features of mainstream gaming builds. It includes a coldplate with illuminated coolant flow, reinforced sleeved tubing, and a high-capacity radiator cooled by three 120 mm ARGB fans. The grooved fins on the fans optimize airflow and reduce noise, while the Aura Sync ARGB elements provide stylish illumination.
The TUF Gaming LC II 360 ARGB also boasts a new cooling design with a separated pump head and motor for reduced noise and vibration. Additionally, the installation process is made easier with a tool-free place-and-twist retention mechanism. Each cooler comes with a six-year ASUS warranty for added durability.
Liquid cooling radiators, such as the TUF Gaming LC II 360 ARGB, can greatly contribute to the aesthetic appeal of a build, especially when mounted vertically in a dual-chamber chassis like the TUF Gaming GT502. The industrial design of the liquid cooler is crafted to perfectly complement ASUS TUF gaming motherboards, graphics cards, and chassis.
In this generation, ASUS has upgraded the radiator fans with brighter Gen 2 ARGB lighting, allowing users to showcase their builds. ASUS Aura Sync enables easy synchronization of lighting with other components and peripherals for a cohesive look.
The TUF Gaming LC II 360 ARGB sets new standards of thermal performance as the first TUF Gaming AIO liquid cooler with a 360 mm radiator. The grooved fins on the radiator improve airflow and reduce noise, while the three 120 mm ARGB fans provide a balance of airflow, static pressure, and quiet operation. These fans effectively cool the system while maintaining noise levels below 29 dB.
The TUF Gaming LC II 360 ARGB AIO liquid cooler is compatible with a wide range of CPU sockets, making it suitable for various PC builds. It supports Socket AM4 and AM5 motherboards for AMD processors, as well as LGA 1700, 1200, and 115x sockets for Intel processors.
ASUS has also increased the length of the sleeved tubing to 400 mm to ensure compatibility with larger PC cases that offer options for mounting a 360 mm liquid cooling radiator.
