Our last look at an ASRock all-in-one CPU cooler really impressed us, especially since it was the first AIO from ASRock that we had taken a look at here at ThinkComputers. Looking to keep up that reputation in this review is the Steel Legend 360 LCD, another 360mm AIO from ASRock that is equipped with an LCD display, VRM fan, and more. If the aesthetics of the Phantom Gaming line doesn’t fit your style, then follow along as we get a closer look at the ASRock Phantom Gaming 360 LCD.
Special thanks to ASRock for providing the Steel Legend 360 LCD review sample!
Specifications of the ASRock Steel Legend 360 LCD
Packaging of the ASRock Steel Legend 360 LCD
The Steel Legend 360 LCD is packaged in a bright white retail box, featuring design language that really goes well with the overall Steel Legend look. The box does a good job showing off the AIO on the top cover, as well as some ASRock software compatibility logos.
Around the back we get a few features images and information about each, as well as a specifications table. Including some of these features and specifications on retail packaging really helps those that are making their purchases in stores. While many consumers end up buying these products online, I think it is still very important to consider the retail, brick and mortar shopper, and having this type of information at your fingertips in the store can help sway a purchasing decision.
With the box open, we find multiple cardboard compartments. Each of these sections is labeled, and this type of layout not only helps keep components in their places during shipping, but also gives you a bit nicer of an unboxing experience compared to a cardboard tub and components just draped in plastic bags.
Accessories that come with the ASRock Steel Legend 360 LCD
Included with the cooler is a printed installation manual, which includes information for both AMD and Intel systems. I really like having a physical manual that you can have right next to your build area as an easy point of reference – this beats having to scroll across a PDF manual on your phone. Installation hardware and brackets are included for modern AMD and Intel systems, so you should be ready to install the Steel Legend 360 LCD as soon as you get it out of the box. ASRock also includes a syringe of thermal paste and a spreader with the PG 360 LCD, as it does not come with pre-applied paste from the factory. Also included are a few plastic tubing clips to help position the cooling lines.
