Key Specs

AniMe Matrix Display – Visual Personalisation

The standout feature of the Ryuo III 240 ARGB is its AniMe Matrix LED screen, housed within a premium black shell. This customisable display allows you to showcase ROG animations, real-time system stats, or your own pixel art designs via the ASUS software suite. With Aura Sync support, the lighting integrates seamlessly with your existing RGB ecosystem for a cohesive build aesthetic.

Advanced Cooling Performance

Powered by an 8th generation Asetek pump, the Ryuo III 240 ARGB circulates coolant efficiently through a high-capacity aluminium radiator. The dual 120mm ROG ARGB fans deliver a maximum airflow of 70.07 CFM and a static pressure of 3.88 mmH2O, ensuring optimal heat dissipation even under heavy workloads. The copper base plate enhances thermal conductivity for reliable CPU cooling.

Quiet Operation for Everyday Use

Despite its powerful cooling capability, the Ryuo III 240 ARGB maintains a noise level of just 36.45 dB at high speed, making it suitable for both gaming and professional environments. The pump operates between 800 and 2600 RPM, allowing you to balance performance and acoustics based on your needs.

Extensive Socket Compatibility

With 400mm tubing and broad socket support including Intel LGA 1150 through 1700 and AMD AM4/AM5, the Ryuo III 240 ARGB offers flexibility for a wide range of modern builds. This makes it an ideal choice whether you’re upgrading an existing system or assembling a new high-end rig.
