Tryx Panorama 360 SE AIO Review

Introduction and Technical Specifications

Introduction

It is crazy how quickly things change. I’ve been around so long I remember the idea of Zalman’s passive cooler being a wild option. Then the market moved to 120mm tower air coolers, and these appeared to be the only way to be. It doesn’t feel like a moment since AIOs first appeared. But then I am very old. AIOs have, nonetheless, quickly gone from simple 120mm single fan radiators, to lit up fans, lit up pumps and finally pumps that have screens built in.

The Tryx Panorama 360 SE takes that idea of a screen built into the pump, and moves it to the logical end point. Instead of having a tiny screen the size of your processor – because of pump sizes – Tryx have clearly asked “why not just have a massive screen?”. You might have seen this on the first Tryx Panorama. Today it’s time for the SE. Normally a SE model means drastically cut down for price reasons. With this, though, Tryx seem to have revisited the original Panorama and fixed the various problems. It’s lighter, easier to adjust, and the screen has been upgraded to eliminate a lot of the reflectivity of the first model.

Miraculously this has all been done whilst trimming the price. This Tryx Panorama SE 360 is £80 cheaper than the original. However, on paper at least, it’s an upgrade. Is it possible that in a world built upon greed a company has managed to make their product more for less? Something actually consumer friendly? The idea shakes the foundations of global capitalism. We’re here for it. Let’s find out if the changes to the screen design and ASETEK Adela pump let the Tryx Panorama SE perform as well as its forebear.

Technical Specifications

Like all good coolers the Tryx Panorama SE supports all the current processor sockets. The screen is akin to an ultrawide, with a resolution of 2160×1080. The fans are also designed to be radiator fans and so have good pressure and airflow. How good we’ll find out near the end.
