Just last year we brought you two AIO reviews from TRYX – the PANORAMA SE ARGB 360 and the PANORAMA 360 – both of which performed very well. Today we are taking a look at the latest all-in-one cooler from TRYX, the STAGE. Similar to how the PANORAMA AIOs had wraparound screens, the STAGE has a concave pair of screens, with a mirrored “stage” between the two. This sets you up for some really cool display options in your case. Of course this cooler isn’t all about looks, and backing that up is a 360mm radiator and fans, along with a compact pump housing. Let’s get right into this review of the TRYX STAGE and see if it gets a standing ovation or booed off stage.
Special thanks to TRYX for providing the STAGE review sample!
Specifications of the TRYX STAGE
Packaging of the TRYX STAGE
TRYX has provided a pretty nice unboxing experience with the STAGE, and that starts with a bright white exterior design that shows off the cooler on the top of the box, along with a few feature callout icons. A few areas of the imagery have had a nice gloss effect applied to them, which makes them stand out from the rest of the design.
At the back of the box we have a small specifications table and plenty of regulatory badging.
Inside the product box we find the cooler and all of the mounting hardware nicely arranged in a shaped foam enclosure. TRYX has protected the radiator and pre-mounted fans, as well as the tubing and pump housing with a set of plastic bags, as is pretty much the standard. The LCD display is held in its own compartment to avoid any damage during shipping.
Accessories that come with the TRYX STAGE
Included with the STAGE is an arrangement of installation components for modern AMD and Intel platforms, as well as a physical installation guide. This includes everything from mounting brackets, fan screws, and wiring harness, to a tube of thermal paste. I always appreciate a physical manual with my hardware, and TRYX does a good job of guiding you through the installation process with their included material.
