FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Asetek Gen7 V2 pump?

The Asetek Gen7 V2 pump is designed to be quieter and offers improved cooling efficiency, capable of dissipating an additional 100 watts of heat compared to previous generations, resulting in lower CPU temperatures.

How do I control the RGB lighting?

The RGB lighting can be controlled using the ASUS Aura Sync software, which allows for a wide range of effects and customization. Ensure the ARGB cables are connected to your motherboard.

Does the cooler come with thermal paste pre-applied?

No, the cooler typically does not come with pre-applied thermal paste. You will need to apply thermal paste to your CPU before mounting the water block.

What is the tubing length?

The ROG Strix LC III 360 features approximately 38cm (40cm in some specifications) of reinforced, sleeved tubing, providing flexibility for installation and cable management.

Can I customize the LCD screen?

Yes, the LCD screen can be customized to display live system statistics such as CPU temperature and load, or you can upload custom animations using the provided ASUS software.

Is this cooler suitable for overclocking?

Yes, the high-performance cooling capabilities of the ROG Strix LC III 360 make it well-suited for CPUs that are overclocked, helping to maintain stability under increased thermal loads.

What is the warranty period for this cooler?

The product information indicates a 1-year warranty for the ROG Strix LC series.

Troubleshooting

Pump not running or no liquid flow detected.

Ensure the pump power cable is securely connected to the motherboard's AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN header. Verify that the pump speed is not set to 0 RPM in the BIOS or software.

Fans not spinning.

Check that the fan cables are properly connected to the motherboard or fan controller. Ensure the fan speed is not set to 0 RPM via BIOS or software. Test fans on another header if possible.

CPU temperatures are unusually high.

Verify that the water block is making firm contact with the CPU. Ensure thermal paste was applied correctly and evenly. Check that the radiator and fans are clean and free of dust. Confirm fan and pump are running at appropriate speeds.

Aura RGB lighting is not working.

Ensure the ARGB cables are correctly connected to the motherboard's ARGB header. Download and install the latest version of ASUS Aura Sync software. Check for conflicts with other RGB software.

LCD screen displays incorrectly or not at all.

Confirm the USB cable for the LCD screen is connected to an internal USB 2.0 header on the motherboard. Ensure the latest version of the relevant ASUS software is installed and configured for the LCD display.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cooling performance for demanding CPUs.
  • Quiet operation due to improved pump and 0dB fan technology.
  • Highly customizable RGB lighting effects with Aura Sync support.
  • Flexible installation with a rotatable water block.
  • Integrated LCD screen for system monitoring and customization.
  • Durable build with reinforced, sleeved tubing.

Cons

  • 360mm radiator size requires significant case space.

  • LCD screen customization may require specific software knowledge.
  • Potential for pump noise at higher RPMs, though generally quiet.
  • Requires a compatible motherboard header for full RGB and fan control.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Secure the radiator to your case's 360mm fan mounts. Attach the fans to the radiator, ensuring correct airflow direction.
  2. Water Block Installation: Apply thermal paste to the CPU. Mount the water block onto the CPU socket using the appropriate mounting bracket (Intel or AMD). Connect the water block to the motherboard.
  3. Power and Control: Connect the pump and fan cables to the designated headers on your motherboard (CPU_FAN, AIO_PUMP, etc.). Connect the ARGB cables for lighting.
  4. Software: Install the ASUS Aura Sync software for full control over lighting effects and the LCD screen customization.

Compatibility:

This cooler supports a wide range of modern CPU sockets, including:

  • Intel: LGA 1700, LGA 1200, LGA 115x (1150, 1151, 1155, 1156)
  • AMD: Socket AM5, Socket AM4

Ensure your PC case has sufficient clearance for a 360mm radiator (typically mounted at the top or front).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly dust the radiator fins and fan blades with compressed air to maintain optimal airflow. Wipe the pump housing and water block with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Thermal Paste: For optimal performance, consider reapplying thermal paste every 1-2 years or if you notice a significant increase in CPU temperatures.
