Hey everyone! I recently picked up the ROG Ryuo IV SLC AIO cooler from AliExpress since it's currently not available in my area, and it's part of my dream PC build. However, I stumbled upon an article from Tom's Hardware discussing potential cooling efficiency issues with this cooler, particularly how it doesn't perform well under certain temperature conditions. As I'll be using my PC for heavy AAA gaming and video editing, this has me a bit worried.
Moreover, while I'm a fan of ROG products, I've heard mixed reviews about their customer service and warranty policies, especially since I bought mine abroad. I'm contemplating returning it, if possible, and switching to a different brand. Has anyone had any experience with the TRYX panorama cooler? I was considering it initially, but I'm a bit hesitant as it's a newer brand.

From what I've read, Asus mentioned that the ROG Ryuo IV SLC coolers may struggle when running at over 90 degrees Celsius for long periods but should perform fine under normal conditions. Unless your CPU is consistently hitting those temps, it seems like it shouldn't be a huge issue. Just curious, do you think your CPU will really be that hot for more than a couple of days?
I do some large rendering projects, and while I typically check the CPU temp intermittently, I know it can get pretty close to that limit. I might not hit 90 degrees for three days straight, but sometimes I render back to back for several days without much break for the CPU.
