TRYX Panorama ARGB 360 CPU Cooler Review
Thermal Performance
OC3D CPU Cooler Stress Test
We want to push CPU coolers to their limit, and that requires a workload that will place maximum load on our i5-14600K CPU. Why didn’t we choose an i7 or an i9? The simple answer is that we want to test various CPU Cooler options. If we put the hottest CPU we could in our system, only the best of the best CPU coolers would even pass our testing procedures. Since not everyone uses such a power-hungry CPU, we decided to tone the wattage and thermal loads down by using an i5-14600K. Even so, this CPU consumes a lot of power and generates a lot of heat under all-core workloads.
For testing, we have used Cinebench R24. This is an all-core workload that places heavy strain on all available CPU cores. This load pushes CPU thermals higher than any other and does so consistently. We use Cinebench R24 for 30 minutes to see how hot our CPU gets over that time. If CPU temperatures rise to 100 degrees Celsius or over, that CPU cooler has failed our testing. This is part of the reason why there are more coolers on our higher fan RPM cooler charts. Some coolers will pass our thermal testing at higher fan RPMs but fail at lower fan RPMs.
1000 RPM Performance
If I am honest, I’m shocked. I didn’t expect TRYX to enter the CPU cooler market with such a band. Yes, the Panorama is a great-looking CPU cooler, but we didn’t expect it to deliver industry-leading performance. This is the best-performing CPU cooler in our 1,000 RPM charts. Nice work TRYX!
1500 RPM
At 1500 RPM, we see results show a similar trend similar to our 1,000 RPM tests. Temps drop by two degrees, and the Panorama remains the head of the pack.
Maximum Fan RPM
When maxing out all of our CPU coolers, we can see that Corsair’s recently released iCUE TITAN 360 RX managed to sneak ahead of the TRYX panorama. This places the TRYX in second place by less than one degree. Excellent performance from the folks at TRYX. The Panorama is one of the best-performing CPU liquid coolers on the market.
