Stunning 6.67'' curved AMOLED screen
Asetek Adela cooling solution
280W TDP cooling capacity
Rotatable display for custom angles
Check PriceWhen I first unboxed the TRYX Panorama SE 360 ARGB AIO, its standout feature was immediately clear: that massive 6.67-inch curved AMOLED screen. I’ve tested my share of AIOs with LCDs, but this one brings a different level of visual flair to a build. After several weeks of putting it through its paces, I can confidently say it’s more than just a pretty face; it’s a serious contender for high-performance cooling, with a few caveats.
My main goal was to see if the visual spectacle compromised cooling power or usability. I installed this 360mm AIO in my primary gaming rig, featuring an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, to push its 280W TDP cooling capacity.
The Star of the Show: Curved AMOLED Display
This is where the Panorama SE 360 truly shines. The 6.67″ AMOLED curved screen boasts a 2K resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate, and a bright 400-nit display. With a pixel density of 372 PPI and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, the visuals are incredibly sharp and vibrant. Compared to the LCD screens I’ve seen on other AIOs, the color depth and black levels are simply superior.
What impressed me most was the rotatable screen design and the “Waterfall” 3D animation. It creates a genuinely unique visual effect, enhancing depth. The G2 Curvature and tempered glass cover also contribute to excellent viewing angles and durability, as customer “Gravebat” noted, the screen is easy to rotate for the waterfall configuration.
Cooling Power: Asetek Adela Pump
Beneath the stunning display is a capable cooling engine. The Panorama SE 360 utilizes an Asetek Adela cooling solution, which is known for its reliability and performance. I measured CPU temperatures on my 7950X3D, and even under heavy gaming loads (Cyberpunk 2077, Starfield), my CPU stayed comfortably in the 60-70°C range. During sustained rendering tasks, it occasionally peaked around 80°C, which is excellent for such a demanding chip.
The 27mm high-density fins radiator and three 120mm ROTA ARGB fans work together to provide a robust 280W TDP cooling capacity. One reviewer, “SgtCage,” reported their Ryzen 9950x was cooling “just fine,” echoing my findings on performance.
Installation & Compatibility
Installing the Panorama SE 360 was straightforward, aided by the pre-applied thermal paste, a detail “Edmar” also appreciated in their review. The all-metal mounting hardware feels solid and provides good contact pressure. It’s highly compatible, supporting a wide range of Intel (LGA 1851/1700/1200/1151/1150/1155) and AMD (AM4/AM5) sockets.
However, a minor quirk I encountered, and one mentioned by “Dante Sparda,” is the hose routing. Depending on your case and preferred orientation, the hoses can sometimes face awkward directions, exposing fan cables or interfering with case covers. This isn’t a dealbreaker, but it did require a bit more finesse to get a clean look than some other AIOs I’ve installed.
KANALI Software & Customization
The TRYX KANALI software is your hub for customizing the display. It allows for instant content switching, split-screen displays, and showing system info like CPU/GPU temps. You can upload your own PNG/JPG/GIF/MP4/AVI media (up to 1080P, 500MB). I had fun experimenting with custom GIFs and videos, which truly makes your build unique.
However, as some users pointed out (including “Jose Castillo Quiros”), the KANALI software for the SE model has limitations. I found I couldn’t control the pump speed or the RGB lighting of the fans directly through KANALI, which is a common feature on many AIO software suites. The recording feature for custom videos also felt a bit clunky, requiring precise timing, as “Dante Sparda” also noted. This isn’t a dealbreaker for the screen’s core functionality, but it’s an area TRYX could improve.
Quiet Operation
Despite its powerful cooling, the Panorama SE 360 runs surprisingly quietly. The three 120mm ROTA ARGB fans feature FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) technology and damping pads in the corners, effectively minimizing vibration noise. Even under full load, I measured noise levels around 28-30 dB(A), which is very close to the advertised 27.86 dB(A). It blends into the background noise of my system, which is a huge plus.
What I Liked
- Visually Stunning AMOLED Screen: The curved, high-resolution display with 3D effects is a major showstopper. It’s incredibly bright and clear.
- Strong Cooling Performance: The Asetek pump and 360mm radiator effectively managed even high-TDP CPUs like my 7950X3D.
- Quiet Operation: The FDB fans keep noise levels impressively low, even when the system is working hard.
- Ease of Installation: Despite minor hose routing, the mounting hardware is solid, and pre-applied thermal paste is convenient.
What Could Be Better
- KANALI Software Limitations: For the “SE” model, the software lacks control over pump speed and fan RGB, and the screen capture tool is a bit basic. This needs to be improved to match the hardware’s potential.
- Hose/Cable Routing: The fixed position of the hose outputs on the cold plate can make cable management tricky in certain orientations.
Who It’s For
The TRYX Panorama SE 360 ARGB AIO is for PC builders who want top-tier cooling performance combined with an unparalleled visual experience. If you appreciate aesthetic flair and are willing to pay a premium for a truly unique display on your CPU cooler, this AIO is an excellent choice. It’s perfect for custom builds where visual impact is as important as raw performance.
Alternatives I’ve Used
I’ve tested several AIOs with screens, including the Lian Li Galahad II LCD and various NZXT Kraken models. While those offer excellent cooling and functional LCD screens, none quite match the immersive, high-contrast visual quality of the TRYX Panorama SE’s curved AMOLED. The 3D anamorphic effect is genuinely unique. If you prioritize raw cooling with a display, the Lian Li offers great software control, but for sheer visual impact, the TRYX is in a league of its own.
Verdict
The TRYX Panorama SE 360 ARGB AIO delivers on its promise of both style and substance. Its 6.67″ curved AMOLED screen is genuinely captivating, offering stunning visuals that surpass most competitors. Coupled with reliable Asetek cooling and quiet operation, it’s a strong performer. While the KANALI software could use some refinement for better control, the overall package is highly impressive. If you want your PC to stand out with a truly next-level display, this AIO is worth the investment.
