ASUS introduced its first split water-cooling product, the ROG RYUJIN III WB, on its official overseas website. This product, first revealed at CES 2024, features a split cold head known as the Longshen 3rd generation, which is designed using Asetek technology. The ROG RYUJIN III WB integrates 178 micro cooling fins and a compact copper alloy cold plate to enhance thermal conductivity and cooling efficiency. The design retains elements from the Dragon God 3rd generation integrated water cooler, including a high-speed VRM cooling fan. This fan operates at speeds up to 5100 RPM, with a maximum air pressure of 5.53 mmH2O and airflow of 21.08 CFM, contributing to a potential reduction in motherboard VRM temperatures by up to 35°C.
Additionally, the ROG RYUJIN III WB includes a 3.5-inch IPS LCD display with a 60Hz refresh rate that can show real-time hardware metrics such as CPU frequency, voltage, and water cooling system metrics like fan speed and flow rate. The display also supports custom animations and wallpapers, with a capacity to upload up to 32MB of video content spanning 2000 frames.
The product is compatible with both Intel (LGA 1700/1200/115X) and AMD (AM5/AM4) platforms and comes equipped with a pure copper 90° water pipe adapter. It also includes a one-year subscription to AIDA 64 Extreme, enhancing its utility for performance monitoring and diagnostics.
