We’ve seen CPU coolers with screens before. We’ve seen CPU coolers with OLED screens before. We’ve seen CPU coolers with curved OLED screens before. We’ve even seen CPU coolers with curved, motorised OLED screens before. But have we seen a CPU cooler with a curved, movable 3D-effect OLED screen before? No, sir, we have not. Until today.

Give it up for the ROG Ryuo IV 360 ARGB water cooler, the ultimate checkbox exercise in CPU cooling, announced today at Gamescom. Its finely triangulated USP is a movable curved 6.67-inch AMOLED display that supports “3D-effect videos or customized system information”.

Asus says, “a powerful pump delivers robust cooling performance, higher flow, and lower impedance, while the pre-mounted, daisy-chained ARGB fans provide high airflow and static pressure. Its fans have a low-noise design and feature front and side lighting.”

The cooler supports LGA 1851, 1700, AMD AM5, and AM4 CPU sockets, and features 400mm tubing for better chassis compatibility. There’s also software with support for hardware monitoring and screen content management. Oh, and there’s a white version, too, that’s otherwise identical.

Getting back to that “3D effect” thing, our understanding is that is doesn’t mean some kind of lenticular 3D, as per the Acer Predator SpatialLabs View 27 we recently reviewed. Instead, we’re talking 3D effect as in those videos that use borders and lines to frame movement, plus extreme perspective and a bit of blur. Like this demo video.

Asus doesn’t provide a specific resolution for the display, only describing it at “2K”. But that probably means 1,920 by 1,080, or something very close to that. By default, it can either display one of a number of preloaded 3D effect visuals or a user-configurable suite of hard info, such as CPU temps, fan speeds, voltages, clockspeeds and all that good stuff.

You can also splitscreen the display, so that part of it is showing hardware info, the other trick visuals. And as you can see above, the “3Dness” does actually kinda work.

As for the “movable” bit, the OLED screen is on a slider. So now you know. For the record, the radiator measures 394 by 140 by 32 mm and sports three front-and-side lit 120 mm fans. That setup delivers a rated airflow of 71.44 CFM at a noise level of 39.6 dB(A). The cooler module has a six year warranty, while the screen is covered for two years.

Finally and on the sordid matter of money, this was never gonna be cheap. US pricing hasn’t emerged, but it’s available in the UK for £322, which implies something in the region of $350. Ouch. But then if you want screens on everything, it’s going to cost you.

A relatively new name in the PC hardware market, Tryx, gained attention last year with its Panorama AIO liquid coolers featuring L-shaped curved OLED screens. This year, the company is extending that concept to its new PC case, the Arcvision.

Additionally Tryx announced an airflow-focused case, a lifestyle-oriented case, and its first CPU air cooler.

The Arcvision is a premium mid-tower case featuring curved tempered glass panels on the front and side. It supports ATX motherboards and up to seven cooling fans, with room for radiators up to 360 mm. The standout feature is the embedded curved display in the lower-left corner, which creates the illusion of a panoramic view.

The display is similar to the one used by Tryx in their AIO coolers and is housed within a removable panel. The company will offer interchangeable panels with wood or marble finishes, and the case itself will be available in versions both with and without the curved screen. Tryx plans to launch the case by the end of the year in black and white color options, with pricing starting at $120 for the standard version and around $240 for the model with the curved display.

The second PC case in the lineup is the Flova, which features a fabric finish on the front and the power supply shroud, along with some wooden feet. Since fabric isn’t ideal for airflow, Tryx has introduced an interesting solution. In addition to the standard vertical triple-fan mount, the case includes a cross-flow fan that draws air in through side vents. The mounting system is designed to support both cross-flow and traditional case fans at the same time. The front panel allows the fabric cover to be removed easily for cleaning if dust builds up over time.

The case supports up to ATX motherboards, including models with reverse connectors. It accommodates up to a 360 mm radiator or three 120 mm fans at the top, a single fan at the rear, and up to a 240 mm radiator or two 120 mm fans on the side.

For those who prioritize airflow, the company also introduced the new Luca and Luca Air cases. Both feature the company’s X-shaped floating base design, while the Luca Air offers the option to install two 200 mm front fans with a 38 mm thickness. The case also includes an integrated solution for connecting the front fans via pogo pins.

Lastly, the company unveiled the new Turris CPU air cooler. It sports a high-performance dual-tower design with two fans, six heat pipes, and a plastic shroud reminiscent of the DeepCool Assassin IV series. The cooler also features a removable 5-inch LCD for displaying system stats, GIFs, or custom artwork. Additionally, the front fan can be repositioned to accommodate high-profile memory modules. Available in black and white variants, the Turris air cooler is priced at $100.
