ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 280 ARGB Processor All-in-one liquid cooler 14 cm Black 1 pc(s)

ROG Strix LC II 280 ARGB AIO provides high-performance closed-loop liquid cooling for Intel and AMD CPUs, combining effective thermal management with addressable RGB lighting. The cooler includes illuminated ROG branding on the pump cover and addressable RGB radiator fans, designed to integrate with Aura Sync and coordinate multi-color effects across compatible components.

Advantages

The cooler offers optimized radiator fans tuned for the Strix LC series to deliver strong airflow and static pressure, along with an enhanced pump head that uses a micro-channel cooling plate to increase thermal dissipation. 4-pin PWM control for both pump and fans enables precise speed adjustments to balance cooling performance and acoustic levels. Compatibility across a broad range of Intel and AMD sockets and 38 cm tubing simplifies installation and routing.

How to use

Mount the radiator to a compatible 280 mm case location and secure the pump block to the CPU socket following your motherboard and case manuals. Connect the 4-pin PWM cables for the pump and the fans to appropriate headers on the motherboard to enable PWM speed control. Attach the ARGB connectors to a compatible Aura Sync header or controller to manage lighting effects. Ensure tubing routing avoids sharp bends and that all fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque.

Recommendations

For best results, update your motherboard firmware and Aura Sync software to the latest versions before configuring lighting and fan curves. Verify compatibility with your CPU socket and case radiator clearance prior to installation, and monitor temperatures after setup to confirm expected cooling performance.
