AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Baseline test

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Baseline test

Time for the essence of this review. The Asus Ryujin II 360 should be enough for the range of CPUs from the Pentium to the Core i7 Hexa-core, or even the Core i9 octa-core and the AMD Ryzen family. We ran the test at the default frequencies. First up is the IDLE temperature, measured when the CPU does next to nothing, just waiting for any action by the user. 

There are no major differences in this case. The new Ryujin II 360 is slightly worse than the predecessor, but that's in a margin of error.

Here, it’s becoming more interesting, and you can see some differences. This LCS cooler offers good performance, slightly better than the Ryujin 360, probably due to the usage of a new pump (but the difference is again very marginal). The ambient temperature was about 22°C, affecting cooling performance for sure, but we tested all the previous coolers in similar conditions. You don’t want to have the CPU above 75-80 degrees at default frequencies; otherwise, you can assume that the cooler is undoubtedly doing an inferior job.

We’ll show you what it looks like on the Intel platform on the next page.
