Introduction to the TRYX PANORAMA ARGB 360 White
The TRYX PANORAMA ARGB 360 White is a truly elaborate liquid cooling kit, built on the foundations of one of the most acclaimed manufacturers in this segment, such as Asetek, with an eighth generation of its pump-exchanger, which we will talk about in more detail later.
What undoubtedly draws attention to this liquid cooling system is its screen located on the exchange block, it is not the only kit on the market with a multifunction LCD screen, in fact, we have already tested some very interesting models, but with these dimensions, with 2k resolution and curved OLED panel, none to date.
You don’t see many curved displays in the PC world, and TRYX puts it in a liquid cooling kit. There’s nothing more elaborate on the market, and you’ve probably seen builds with this kit countless times on major social media.
The TRYX PANORAMA can be found in various sizes, from 240 to 360 millimeters, with intermediate formats of 280mm. In two colors, black and white, and with ARGB capacity in its fans or without. A good number of combinations to choose from where there is always something in common: its multifunction display screen. We will talk about it later at length, but we will have to review other important technical aspects first.
These are key details that will allow us to know if this kit is just a very pretty face or if it also has a depth that allows modern processors to be cooled with guarantees.

TRYX PANORAMA ARGB 360 White Radiator
It starts off quite well, and I say this because it introduces elements that are not common in kits of its format and size. One of these elements is the radiator, which is a little bigger than usual, 30mm compared to the usual 27mm , which according to the brand means 2 degrees less in a processor with 100W consumption.
It’s not the most spectacular radiator you can find in an all-in-one kit these days. Arctic offers 38mm radiators, but it’s certainly an upgrade worth considering and, on the other hand, it creates fewer installation problems. Where a 27mm radiator with the fans fits, this radiator should be able to fit as well.
The version we tested is 360mm long, but all the others, shorter ones, have the same type of radiator, wider and with a reconfigured distribution of aluminum fins to improve performance with high static pressure fans, with more turbulence and allowing more airflow to pass through.
This radiator also improves the microchanneling of the radiator, achieving better results thanks to less resistance to the coolant’s advance inside. It is also supported by other improvements that we will discuss in the following lines.
8th generation Asetek pump in the TRYX PANORAMA ARGB 360 White
Launched in 2022, the Asetek Gen8 cooling system represents a significant advance in liquid cooling technology, where this brand is a pioneer by integrating pump and exchange block in the same assembly.
This generation incorporates key innovations, which we have already seen in several products such as the highest ranges of ASUS ROG RYUO III coolers, among others. This system incorporates advanced cold plate technology and a series of optimized features to maximize heat dissipation and flow efficiency, both in the pump and, above all, in its passage through the heat exchange plate. The Asetek 8 pump develops a variable speed between 800 and 2600 rpm with a deviation of around 400 rpm and PWM control.
One of the key improvements to the Gen8 is its three-phase motor, which facilitates a more uniform and efficient flow of liquid. Additionally, the internal passages have been redesigned to minimize hydraulic resistance, allowing for faster heat transfer from the CPU to the coolant. Complementing this improvement, the cold plate is now 32% larger and adopts a square shape, optimized to perfectly fit the processor’s integrated heat spreader (IHS), maximizing thermal absorption.
Internal piping has also evolved, with an enlarged 7mm diameter supporting a greater volume of coolant flow. The cold plate or copper exchange plate now features convex microchanneling that allows for maximizing performance at the processor’s hot spot.
The integrated pump has full PWM control and is configured via Windows via USB connection. Everything is integrated and TRYX also has a small 60mm fan in the dome where the curved OLED screen is installed that distributes fresh air to the heatsink pump and also to surrounding elements such as RAM and VRMs on the motherboard. The kit includes thermal paste already perfectly applied to the heatsink block.
Wider synthetic polyamide tubes
TRYX has incorporated new, wider tubes made of synthetic polyamide and covered in that nice nylon mesh we’ve come to expect from modern cooling kits. It not only offers aesthetics but also an extra layer of protection for tubes that are already made of a material exceptionally suited to these work environments.
Synthetic polyamides are known for their strength and durability, characteristics that make them ideal materials for industrial applications and in demanding environments. A tube made of polyamide offers excellent resistance to adverse climatic factors, including ultraviolet light and humidity, maintaining its structural integrity and functionality even in extreme conditions.
Thanks to their low permeability, polyamide tubes minimize evaporation and leaks, making them especially useful in systems that require precise control of fluids or gases. In addition, this material is able to withstand a wide range of temperatures, from -40 °C to 120 °C, without losing flexibility or strength. This makes it suitable for environments where thermal fluctuations are frequent, avoiding deformations, cracks or hardening.
The inherent flexibility of polyamides allows tubing made from this material to handle movement and vibration without compromising its structure, making it ideal for compact systems such as cooling your custom PC. Its chemical resistance is also remarkable, being able to withstand exposure to oils, fuels, solvents and mild acids without degrading or losing its properties.
In this white version of this kit that we have tested, we can also find it in black, all the elements are in this colour, of course also the tubes. The fittings are fixed on the radiator, and with free rotation in the block, so that their installation and distribution is easy. The tube length in this model is 400mm, sufficient for the type of mounting for which it has been designed, which is on the roof of the box.
ROTA 120mm ARGB PWM fans
TRYX integrates its best fans to date into this kit. The 120mm ROTA Pro, with 140mm options, two colors, black and white, and ARGB lighting, are a good example of a fan specifically designed to give great results in combination with a water-cooling kit.
These are fans with a good rotation speed range, with a range between 500 and 1850 rpm, with a configuration of 9 blades that, together with a good design of the blades and the high rotation speed, can produce up to 1.8mm-H2O of static pressure and a little more than 80CFM of airflow. Interesting figures, especially if we take into account that it achieves them with only 26dBA of noise.
Its secret, as with the best fans of the moment, is to use a six-pole motor, much more stable, with a FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) bearing system that balances the axis of rotation, reducing friction, heat and wear on the moving elements of the fan.
The ROTA Pro blades are made from the popular material for this type of components, LCP, which Noctua has been using for some time. The brand name is Sterrox®, but the blades are basically made from liquid crystal polymer, a highly advanced composite material that is particularly suited to this work environment.
However, this model has second-generation ARGB units and therefore requires acrylic material on the blades for the lighting to be powerful and unified. That is why the ROTA ARGB are exclusive to this model. The performance is not the same, the “pro” ones develop twice as much static pressure and higher frequencies, but also more noise. The RGB ones, however, add the possibility of being updated at the firmware level to improve their performance in the most advanced lighting effects.
High-resolution OLED widescreen display
There are many cooling kits on the market with displays on the block. They are a very interesting way to combine spectacularity with the provision of real-time information through the kit on such a magnificent and central point of the PC as the CPU itself.
What makes this kit different from many others is that the screen is not only much larger than usual, 6.5 inches, but it is also AMOLED type , with incredible quality, it has 2k resolution (1080p) and, in addition, it is curved, with a 90 degree turn to the right side.
This combination of features makes this kit quite unique. It is further enhanced by accessible software, with lots of functionality such as 3D effects, taking advantage of the screen format, but also with other display options such as split screen, and animations.
It also supports fully user-customized content and a content library that grows every week, and we can even share our own content with an ever-growing community of users. The software helps us scale the content appropriately so that it looks visually perfect on the screen.
TRYX Kanali Assembly and Management Software
This unit has a completely universal Asetek mounting system. That means we can use it with any processor on the market, recent and old, including HEDT processors such as AMD Threadripper processors. It is a simple assembly, with everything you need and no tools required, except for our own hands.
Connectivity is an interesting topic on this model because TRYX gives us all the options, we can include all the fans and ARGB in a USB module and control it from Windows, including the drive pump, or we can choose to let the motherboard take control through traditional connectivity, pump and fans by PWM and lighting to a three-pin 5v ARGB port.
Everything is standard and the control is given to the system, which, for me, is more logical since it allows us a more general control of all the components and from the BIOS. The only thing left out is the block fan, which goes with the screen and manages itself quite well with very little noise when in operation. It is a large fan, 60mm, and works really well.
But TRYX also adds a USB controller with two PWM ports and two other ARGB ports with SATA power input. This way, we can have the application, from Windows, take control of the operation of the kit. It is another option that the brand puts on the table for those who prefer it.
We can have the kit assembled, screen included, in just a few minutes and, without a doubt, the result is truly spectacular. The TRYX Kanali software is very complete and accessible and not only allows us to bring the screen to life, with a lot of nice standard options that are also being expanded every so often, but we can also take control of the kit’s performance in a personalized way to adjust the operation of the pump and fans.
All these configurations, which we can easily perform, we can see the result with very complete monitoring information on the block’s own screen.
Performance
This is a kit designed for high-performance processors, those that we expect to exceed 250W under load, or also some processors intended for workstations that can consume more than 350W. With these figures, a large radiator and quality fans, this kit offers good performance results, but not the best that have passed through our laboratory. Kits with larger radiators, 420mm, are still the best we can buy, their problem is space.

Analysis and conclusion
This kit is good, it has high-quality components and uses proven technology such as the eighth-generation Asetek. With these data, confirmed in our tests, this kit offers great cooling performance with an excellent balance between performance and noise generated. Its fan in the block even allows cooling around the socket, something that almost all all-in-one kits lack, and it does so without any disturbance, with a large fan that makes little noise.
This is in terms of performance because in terms of spectacularity, this kit is a completely separate product and far above its competition. Its OLED screen is spectacular, large and eye-catching, and the software that manages it is very well done, offers many options and is very easy to use. You have to have it close to realize its spectacularity and the new levels it reaches in terms of the development of an all-in-one cooling kit.
THE BEST
- Excellent performance, with a good balance between cooling and noise
- Allows you to manage each element independently
- Easy assembly, with pre-mounted fans and a single cable for PWM and ARGB
- Spectacular large curved AMOLED screen
- Very good management software, accessible and very complete
WORST
- The price of this unit is quite high, around 400 euros, being one of the most exclusive all-in-one liquid coolers on the market.
