OLED 2K resolution, ultra wide and curved.
These are all specs that are better than my personal gaming water and probably yours too.
So of course today, we're talking about an AIO, wait, what?
Yes, this right here is the Trikes Panorama 360 ARGB
and it has a curved AMOLED display on it that apparently looks frickin' incredible.
Why you would want that? We don't know.
I genuinely have no idea, but let's have a look at it.
It looks like an NVIDIA box for their RTX cards.
Very nice. Oh, also, six year warranty.
I do like that quite a bit. Getting in here though, of course,
the first thing that you see is the display right here.
Unfolding imagination. Ooh, they're even proud of their box design.
Okay, besides the contrast and color of this being a bit hard on the eyes,
this does look like a really well thought out little user manual here.
AIOs are one of the only things where I would strongly recommend reading the instructions
because you can get really screwed up if you do something like missing a washer
in a spot that it's supposed to be or trying to put in the wrong screws into your motherboard.
It can cause loads of issues and maybe you'll find out halfway through
that you need to undo everything that you just did and redo it all again
because you screwed up a little tiny way. This looks pretty easy though.
We have platform support for Intel 1150X up to 1700,
but not for HEDT platforms and also of course, AM4 and AM5.
Let's put this guy over to the side for a second. Just have a little look at what we have here.
There's all of our stuff in nice little bags. It looks like we have a little controller.
What is this for? RGB? Yep, very simple, just RGB.
It does look like we have a motherboard sync which I like to see, which means that you can have your fans go RGB
without using their software. Although I imagine you very much need their software
to use the screen. We have some Alpha 01 thermal grease.
I have no clue if this is good stuff, but we will find out soon enough.
And of course, all of our mounting supplies right here.
Now to verify that our trikes cooler is actually pretty decent,
we have set up a very simple test. We have our ShortCircuit computer here
which has a 360 AIO as well. This one is from Cooler Master
and we have just run Cinebench as well as screen recorded for 30 minutes,
logged the data and we will just be testing it out right here.
So here is our baseline. How easy do you think this cooler
is going to be to get out of this bell? Looking at it, this is like kind of a small case.
The ease of this job has clearly not been considered at all.
Doing a speed uninstall. My apologies to main gear.
This right here is an absolutely beautifully cable managed system
and I'm going to have to ruin most of it. I really appreciate that the tape
to all of these little RGB connections. These things are horrible for just coming apart
like look at how easy that was. And so taping them or hot gluing them
makes this a way more reliable system. Good job guys.
Okay, it took a lot of doing because there was a lot of cable management
but I think, yep, we are free.
There we go. We've got this Cooler Master 360 AIO
that is now out and we can install our silly one.
Let's just verify that this fits right quick. This cooler is pretty standard sized
but it is ever so slightly larger than normal.
Most radiators are 27, 28 millimeters thick.
This one right here comes in at 30 so you get a tiny bit more performance
and it does still fit in a normal radiator position which is great because we did not pre-check it.
With the Trex Panorama you have two options of fans not RGB or RGB which is about an extra $10
although I think you might wanna consider not getting those fans.
The problem is that the standard fans have a static pressure of 3.66 millimeters of water
which is pretty standard, that is what you expect whereas these RGB ones have 1.8 millimeters of water
which is pretty terrible when you are trying to push a whole bunch of static pressure
through a radiator. It's probably going to be fine
but that said this is an extremely premium cooler
and I really wish that they had just put some better fans on there
because that is going to hold back performance if you want to just go all out.
Main gear were nice enough to include a cutout at the back of this case so this will be super easy.
We're just going to put the little backing plate in there
and then we can screw in our little standoffs. To mount the cooler I need to pull off the screen
just like so under which we have a nice little fan.
This right here is presumably to cool down our VRMs.
Like to see that and also underneath it we have a pump that is made by Asatec
which means it's actually going to be quite a high quality unit.
Looking at this screen it is quite large and we can have a little look at the driver's circuits
right in there, very fun. One thing that is nice about these fans
is that the RGB and the fan power are combined
so you can just daisy chain them together. You don't have a whole bunch of wires coming out of it.
One thing that's not so nice is that it goes into this single proprietary cable
which means that if you lose this you are screwed. On the bottom of our cold plate
there is pre-applied thermal paste which is very nice. That other tube was just if you want to apply it again
but one thing that I've realized that's a little bit unfortunate
is that your tubes need to be at the bottom of the AIO.
If you look at it, this right here goes on such that it is like that
and you definitely want to have this great big bit
showing the front and the side of the screen at all times
instead of it being like that. I want the tubes to go up and around
but I do not want a screen to just be facing the GPU.
So instead we're going to have to do a kind of weird like they're going to have to come across here out in front.
It's very clear that they only thought to have this up in the top because it's going to be pretty strange looking
out that we have a radiator in the front.
Man, I really wish I could put them somewhere else. Ah, can you go around?
Maybe it's salvageable, we'll shall see. Can I get this guy on with the tubes over there?
Oh, go on, get on there.
I don't think that's going to happen. Go over there, does it just slide on now?
Yep, sure does. I can't do anything with those.
Well, it is what it is. All right, I think we are all good.
Time to turn it on and see if it has all worked.
RGB on the fans, working perfectly. Those are all good.
I hear it pumping so that, oh, there we go.
Look at that, what a silly thing.
Android system update.
There we go, tubes are out of the way.
The system is up to date. When it was updating, we briefly saw
that this is running Android for some reason. So I guess that you could get hacked
through the display on your AIO.
But that's not something that I'm personally going to be too concerned about
because it looks pretty fricking cool in there.
Let's have a little play. What can we put on here?
Migration, what is this?
Oh, very cool. You know what, at full brightness, this thing actually looks pretty darn good.
Let's do a peel here.
Oh, yeah, that was satisfying.
Now they do say that it can do a 3D effect where it is actually using that,
this corner is physically closer to you than the edges
and it kind of expands stuff around here. I don't know how convincing that is,
but it is a thing that they say. Another thing, this is a 60 Hertz display.
So it's actually really nice and smooth. A lot of little AIO screens that I've seen before
will have lower fresh rates and they just cannot deliver what this has.
That is a good little display. Spend some time playing around with the stuff
so you can have your system info displayed right here.
So we have our CPU temp, frequency and the date and time.
And also as you can see, you can upload custom images
like this beauty right here. You also can split it so we can have two of him on here.
Let's see how this goes. Ha ha, perfect.
What a beautiful thing. I am so glad that technology has brought us this.
Oh, I can have a whole bunch of info on here.
Wow.
So yeah, this is a thing that you can do.
One thing that programs like this can be awful for
is just using up a whole bunch of your CPU resources even though they're just doing something stupid
like putting Linus's face on a screen. For the most part, it's been doing pretty good
but now that I am doing file processing of a video,
it's using up a fair bit of the CPU so hopefully running videos on this
will not be too taxing. Damn, all right.
I put our GR Corolla video on it and I guess that you can just run that.
And one thing that is fortunate is that it's only using like 1% CPU usage
while we are playing an actual video on it which is not too bad.
I have seen much worse from our GB software before.
All right, I think we are good to find out if this thing is any good.
I do have to say, I really like the display bit of it
but of course, if your CPU runs hot, then who cares?
I do have it set up so that it's connected to the same ports on the motherboard
as the other cooler was. So it should be a pretty good apples to apples test.
So far, so good. We're looking at 75 degrees Celsius on the CPU
and we are also looking at me showing off a Toyota Corolla GR.
So, wow, what other cooler can do that?
All right, all right. The screen cooler is doing a pretty darn good job.
If we look at it here, in the red is the previous cooler master cooler
and in the green, we have our trikes OLED cooler.
If we look at this here, for the most part, it seems like that this is around like 73, 75 degrees.
Whereas the cooler master was sitting much more around like 76 to 80 degrees.
You can very easily tell there's like a three to five degree difference all the way through here.
And also the powers are just a couple of watts more
going just above 200 instead of just below it.
So it is very marginal in an improvement
but it's also not terrible. And when you're going for a cooler
that has a great big screen on it, not being terrible is kind of all that you need.
What you also need is a whole lot of money.
Now on other sites, I have seen a quota that this is around $370 or so
but the lowest that we have found it was on AliExpress
for $515. So with any luck, you'll be able to find it more
in that $300 and a bit dollar range because you'll probably be giving up a bit of performance
compared to something like a top tier ASUS one.
But at the same time, look at that fricking display.
But for $500 oof, you have to really,
really want that display. Just like how I really want you to hit like,
get subscribed and just have a great old day. I'll see you guys later.
