how to install Asus ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB Cooling Fan/Radiator/Water Block/Pump

Installing the Ryujin III is a straightforward process for most builders, especially those familiar with all-in-one liquid coolers. Follow these general steps to achieve a secure, efficient installation while maximizing the cooler’s aesthetic and performance benefits.

Step 1: Plan case compatibility and airflow. Confirm your computer case supports a 360mm radiator and determine the best mounting location for optimal airflow. Decide whether you want the radiator fans pulling air into the case or exhausting air out of the case, taking into account existing fans and GPU heat output to maintain balanced temperatures.

Step 2: Mount the radiator and fans. Attach the three 120mm ARGB fans to the 360mm radiator using the supplied screws, ensuring that the fan arrows point in the direction of airflow. Secure the radiator inside the chosen mounting location (top, front, or modular panel) following the case’s instructions. Double-check that cables will not interfere with other components and that the radiator is firmly mounted to minimize vibration.

Step 3: Install the CPU water block/pump unit. Place the water block/pump assembly onto the CPU socket using the included mounting hardware for your motherboard platform. If thermal paste is not pre-applied on the block, apply a thin, even layer according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, then secure the block evenly to ensure proper contact with the CPU surface.

Step 4: Connect power, fans, and lighting. Connect the pump power cable to the motherboard header designated for the AIO pump (often labeled AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN) and enable any required BIOS settings to control the pump speed. Connect the ARGB cables to the motherboard’s ARGB header or to an included controller, and connect the fans to the appropriate fan headers or a dedicated fan hub. If the cooler includes LCD control cables, connect them to the controller or USB header as specified in the manual. Route cables neatly to maintain airflow and a clean build appearance.

Step 5: Power up, configure, and test. Power on the system and enter your BIOS or use ASUS Armoury Crate to configure the LCD screen’s display preferences (stats, GIFs, or artwork) and tune ARGB lighting. Update the cooler’s firmware if prompted and verify that the LCD panel responds to commands. Run a brief stress test to verify cooling performance, check for any abnormal noise, and ensure there are no leaks or mounting issues before putting the system under sustained load.
