Installation
Installation was surprisingly easy. We mounted the CPU waterblock on to the MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi motherboard with no problems whatsoever.
We then proceeded to mount 360 radiator on the top of the Gamemax N90 chassis. Again, no issues here. Everything fitted rather nicely. The tubing was long enough to position it away from the memory DIMM slots.
What I really like about the the TRYX Panorama SE 360, is that the ARGB cooling fans are all daisy-chained, which means less cables to tidy up. Just connect the ARGB/PWM extension cable from the fans directly to the motherboard. To power the pump on the CPU waterclock, you just need to plug in the 4-pin PWM cable.
As for the display module, it’s powered by USB so you need to plug it in to the USB header on your motherboard. And since it’s fully detachable, you can rotate the display to match the orientation of your PC build.
The lighting from the ARGB cooling fans is bright and vivid. You can control the lighting effects via your motherboard software. The stunning 6.5″ curved AMOLED display is gorgeous to look at, and instantly makes your system alive. It’s super bright at 400 nits and the sceen is super sharp with a resolution of 2K @ 60Hz.
Next, to configure the display, you can use the Kanali software which you can download from Tryx’s website.
Kanali Software
To bring visual magic to the display, you can use the KANALI software to enable stunning anamorphic visual effects, as well as controlling the unit to display your own images, GIFs, videos, and personal configurations, such as time/date, CPU temps, frequencies, CPU load and more.
Test setup and Testing Methodology
The system used for testing is listed in the table below. Ambient temperatures were kept at 24 degrees Celsius +/- 1 degree. We used the included thermal paste, which I think is more than adequate. The fan speed was set to default. The idle temperatures were recorded after 10 minutes of idle and max temperatures were recorded after a 5 minute torture test using Adia 64 CPU System Stability Test and recording the Cores values and taking the average.

Load Temps
At 100% CPU load, the temperature of the CPU package reached a high of 87 degrees Celsius. These temperature readings are within our expectations for an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, so I’m more than happy with the results.
For those who are new to DIY PC building, we highly recommend you use a 360 AIO cooler for all current generation of CPUs from AMD and Intel
