TRYX Panorama 360 AIO Review: Not a Typical AIO!
Modern all-in-one liquid coolers often incorporate integrated displays, though these screens tend to be small due to physical limitations. For instance, the ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme features one of the larger 3.5-inch displays currently available. Hyte’s THICC Q60 is a notable outlier, which includes a 5-inch IPS panel mounted on a rotating arm, allowing 90-degree adjustments. Despite this flexibility, users typically settle on a fixed orientation for practical use.
Breaking free from these constraints, the TRYX Panorama 360 stands out with its expansive 6.5-inch AMOLED screen. Designed in an L-shape around the pump housing, the display is visible through both the side and front panels of tempered glass cases. Adding to its visual appeal, the screen boasts a glasses-free 3D effect.
Technically, TRYX employs an eighth-generation Asetek pump a widely trusted solution alongside a 60 mm fan positioned beneath the display to aid in voltage regulator cooling. The unit’s radiator measures 30 mm thick, with size options spanning 240, 280, or 360 mm. Buyers can select between black or white finishes, as well as models with standard or addressable RGB-lit fans, catering to diverse aesthetic preferences.
Our team had the chance to test the white TRYX Panorama Non-ARGB 360, which currently retails for roughly £330. For comparison, the brand’s entry-level model, the TRYX Panorama 240, starts at around £290. So there’s no denying these 3D displays come at a premium. The big question we wanted to answer during our review? Whether the TRYX Panorama 360’s innovative tech delivers enough real-world benefits to justify the cost, or if it’s simply a flashy niche product. Let’s break down what makes this display stand out, or fall short in everyday use.
Box Appearance
The moment you lay eyes on the TRYX Panorama 360’s packaging, its premium vibe is unmistakable. The box sports a sleek, minimalist look with crisp finishes and a calming mix of white and pistachio green, a color combo that instantly draws you in. It feels modern yet approachable, like something you’d proudly display on your desk.
Flip it over, and you’ll find all the nitty-gritty details of socket compatibility, sizing, and fan specs, laid out clearly without overwhelming you. No jargon, no clutter, just straightforward info to answer your questions at a glance.
But the real magic happens when you lift the lid. Right there, greeting you, is the phrase “Unfolding Imagination,” a nod to TRYX’s knack for blending creativity with precision engineering. The water block’s built-in screen even has a clever little viewing window, teasing the tech inside like a sneak peek of something special.
Inside, every component feels thoughtfully curated. The pre-assembled ROTA Pro radiator and fans sit snug in their compartments, wrapped with care to avoid scratches or shifts during shipping. But the star of the show? That AMOLED-equipped water block, front and center, its sharp design practically daring you to imagine the builds it could inspire. It’s not just packaging, it’s an unboxing experience, designed to make you feel like you’re opening something truly next-level.
Inside Stuff
The TRYX Panorama 360 cooler is designed for a hassle-free setup, starting with its versatile hardware. It comes with AMD mounting brackets and an Intel backplate that fits LGA115x, 1200, and 1700 sockets. To simplify installation, you’ll find specialized nuts and spacers included, plus twelve short screws to tightly fasten the radiator in place.
TRYX also throws in some handy extras: a 2-gram tube of their Alpha-01 thermal paste to optimize heat transfer and a PWM extension cable for seamlessly linking the fans to your motherboard. The step-by-step user manual walks you through assembly and setup in just five straightforward stages. For added convenience, QR codes are printed right in the guide, scan them to download the KANALI software or access quick-help resources online if you need a hand.

Design Unpack
The TRYX Panorama 360 radiator combines a decent design with serious cooling power. Built with a minimal frame (measuring just under 400mm long, 120mm wide, and 30mm thick), its 21-fins-per-inch density ensures it’s engineered to tackle intense thermal loads head-on. Whether gaming or pushing your system to its limits, this radiator is built to keep temperatures in check without compromising on space efficiency.
Installation is a breeze thanks to its 400mm reinforced EPDM rubber tubing, durable enough to handle tight bends and flexible enough to adapt to sprawling setups. The design doesn’t skimp on aesthetics, either: a subtle light-gray TRYX logo adds a touch of sophistication at the radiator’s edge, while angular geometric patterns along the fan frames give it a modern, kinetic vibe once mounted inside your case.
Out of the box, the pre-installed fans simplify setup, and their chainable design reduces cable clutter… mostly. Though convenient, the visible loose cables feel like a missed opportunity for refinement, especially at this price point. Magnetic connectors, like those on premium models such as the ROG RYUJIN III 360, would’ve elevated the seamless look many enthusiasts expect.
One curious detail? While testing, it became clear that this cooler shares its core DNA—pump, radiator, and base—with another model in the lineup. For a product marketed as a standout, this recycling of components might leave some users wondering where the innovation truly lies.
Not a Typical Screen
Unlike standard flat screens, the TRYX PANORAMA 360 OLED panel flows seamlessly around the cooling unit like liquid metal. I kept rotating it in my hands, amazed at how the 6.5-inch screen wrapped around the edges without distorting the 2240×1080 resolution. While some might wish for a higher refresh rate than 60Hz, everyday scrolling and gameplay felt buttery smooth to my eyes.
What surprised me was how they elevated what’s essentially a tech component into design art. The textured black sides with that burnished gold TRYX logo give it luxury watch vibes. Up top, the holographic “AMOLED 2K – COOLED BY ASETEK” etching dances in light – a clever flex of its two best features. Though I’ll admit, flipping it over reveals my only design nitpick: the black mesh filter on the white rear panel looks like an afterthought. Thankfully, the magnetic screen pops off effortlessly when you need to access installation screws – no screwdriver wrestling!
With 125mm tall, Double-check your PC case clearance, especially in compact builds. But there’s a method to the bulk: that expanded copper base (32% larger!) With my Intel Core i5-13400F’s heat spreader perfectly. I did chuckle at the slight thermal paste overflow on my unit – nothing a quick alcohol wipe couldn’t fix.
That whisper-quiet 60mm fan behind the display. It’s like getting bonus airflow for both the screen and motherboard components. After a while of Cyberpunk 2077, my CPU temps stayed frosty while the screen itself never felt warm to the touch. They’ve truly reimagined what a cooler can be – equal parts engineering and aesthetic statement.
ROTA Fans
These aren’t just some generic fans. I was genuinely impressed when I tested them. Pushing up to 81 CFM airflow and 3.66 mm H₂O static pressure at 2200 RPM, they held their own against heavy hitters like the Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM and Arctic P12 that I’ve used before. Not bad at all for stock fans, right?
What stood out was their blade design. They use this liquid crystal polymer material that feels premium, and honestly, you can feel the airflow when they ramp up. Perfect for tackling heat in beefy rigs, especially if you’re running something like an overclocked CPU or a high-end GPU. Now, they don’t have the fancy magnetic connectors you’ll see on pricier models, but setup was still a breeze. The cables are short and clutter-free, plus they throw in an extension for flexibility—no wrestling with spaghetti behind the motherboard.
One thing I’d criticize? The lack of maglev or magnetic mounts. But here’s the kicker: the rubberized corners do an awesome job dampening vibrations. Even at full tilt, my desk didn’t turn into a massage chair, which I can’t say for some “silent” fans I’ve tried. Bottom line? These are workhorses that punch above their weight. Not the flashiest, but they get the job done without drama.
Compatibility
The TRYX Panorama 360 is built for compatible with contemporary platforms, supporting AM4, AM5, LGA 115x, LGA 1200, LGA 1700, and LGA 1851 sockets.
Installation on LGA 1700
Screwing the ROTA Pro fans into the radiator was easy. The screws they included worked fine, and the fans felt solid once they were in. No wobbling or weird gaps. The best part? The fans use a single Y-cable that plugs right into the CPU Fan header. No tangled wires—just one clean connection.
The retention kit was already put together, which saved me time. For Intel LGA 1700, you’ll use the backplate; for AMD AM4/AM5, just snap on the brackets. I tightened the pump onto my CPU with the thumbscrews (no tools needed—just fingers). Easy.
Almost forgot the USB cable for the display. Plugged it in early to avoid backtracking. Took a second to route the cables neatly—nothing fancy, just tucked them where they wouldn’t block airflow.
The 4-pin PWM lets you control fan speed (good for keeping things quiet), and the USB cable lets you customize the AMOLED screen. Once that’s done, screw the radiator into your case. The screws they gave me fit perfectly—no hunting for extras.
KANALI Software Experience
The first thing that grabbed me? That huge 6.5-inch AMOLED screen. Seriously, the colors pop like crazy, and the 2240×1080 resolution makes everything sharp. But what blew my mind was the 3D effect they’ve cooked up here. Videos and images look like they’re jumping off the curved screen – way cooler in person than any promo clip I saw online. The deep blacks from the AMOLED tech play a big part in that illusion.
Now, the software side of things – TRYX’s KANALI app – surprised me. Setting it up was smoother than I expected. After installing, it walked me through the basics like adding a desktop shortcut. The auto-update for firmware was a nice touch too – no hunting down patches, it just made sure everything was ready to roll.
When I first opened KANALI, I noticed it splits into two main sections: “Homepage” and “Panorama.” The Homepage feels like mission control – you’ve got live stats for CPU/GPU usage, temps, and even your download speed. Handy for keeping tabs while gaming or streaming. But the real fun’s in the Panorama tab. This is where you customize that gorgeous screen with trippy 3D animations that show off what the hardware can do.
Here’s the cool part – you can upload your GIFs or videos onto the display. I tried to upload some retro game clips on there, and they looked wild with that curved 3D effect. (Though fair warning: you can’t pull directly from GIPHY yet – had to upload my files manually.)
The customization goes deeper too. There’s a section where you can split the screen into zones, tweak brightness, or mess with visual filters. I spent way too long playing with the fan controls – you can map curves to keep things quiet or crank cooling when temps rise.
Small details I appreciated? Being able to swap between Celsius and Fahrenheit, choosing startup preferences, and the fact that updates keep rolling in. It’s clear that TRYX is still adding polish, but what’s here already works solid.
My Hands-On Test with the Tryx Panorama 360 Cooler
Let me break down how this cooler performed when I pushed it to its limits. First off, I ran the pump at full blast (100%) but kept the VRM fan at 50% – cranking it higher made it sound like a jet engine, and honestly, who wants that noise messing with their sound tests?
Thermal Results at Max Speed
The fans hit around 2,177 RPM during testing. Not exactly what the specs promised, but close enough for real-world use. Here’s where things got interesting:
- Casual Use (100W): Think browsing or office work. The cooler kept my CPU at a frosty 36°C. No sweat here – it’s lounging in a hammock.
- Gaming Mode (150W): Fired up some AAA titles, and temps climbed to 49°C. The cooler handled the heat spike smoothly – zero lag or throttling mid-game.
- Heavy Lifting (200W-250W): Rendering 3D models or editing 4K video? Temps hit 62°C and 74°C, respectively. For a 360mm cooler, that’s seriously solid compared to others I’ve tested.
- Extreme Load (300W): Most coolers tap out here, but the TRYX Panorama 360 held steady at 87°C. No thermal throttling (which only kicks in past 360W, anyway). Impressive, especially if you’re into overclocking or marathon streaming sessions.
Thermal Performance with Noise Pollution
I set the fan noise to a chill of 45 dB(A), about as loud as a quiet office, and even under pressure, this cooler didn’t heat. The fans hit 1700 RPM here—enough to keep things cool without sounding like a jet engine.
Let’s Break It Down
150W Load: 53°C. Barely breaking a sweat.
200W Load: 77°C. Still solid, especially since we’re prioritizing quiet operations.
300W Load: 90°C. Okay, this is where things get toasty, but honestly? For a setup this quiet, it’s impressive. Most gaming rigs would be screaming at this point.
Why It Works
The reason is the Astek Gen8 pump. Compared to the older Gen7, it’s like upgrading from a bicycle to an e-scooter—smoother, quieter, and shaves off up to 2°C for every 100W of heat.
Verdict
Let me start with the screen. That 6.5-inch AMOLED display? It’s wild. Not just a flashy gimmick, it makes tweaking settings feel like interacting with a mini-control panel. Plus, the 3D animations pop in a way static RGB just can’t match. But the real hero here is the cooling. With that Asetek Gen8 pump and ROTA Pro fans, my CPU stayed frosty even when I threw heavy gaming and editing at it. We’re talking about handling 300W of heat without breaking a sweat, which is perfect for beasts like Intel Core Ultra or AMD’s Ryzen 7800X3D chips. And somehow, it stays relatively quiet—no jet-engine noise here, even at full tilt.
Now, the gripes. First, the fan cables felt stuck in 2015. Why no magnetic connectors like other coolers? It’s a hassle when you’re trying to keep your build clean. Also, the KANALI software gets the job done, it’s barebones. Customizing the screen is fun, but the app needs more polish and features to compete.
You’re paying for that eye-catching screen and top-tier cooling, which makes sense for enthusiasts who want both performance and flair. But if budget’s your priority, older AIOs with simpler designs might save you cash.
Summary
83%
Summary Overall, TRYX nailed their debut. The Panorama 360 feels like a next-gen cooler, even with its quirks. If they smooth out the software and tweak the cables, this could be unbeatable. For now, it’s a bold, stylish choice for anyone wanting to flex their rig without sacrificing power. Just know what you’re signing up for.
