While we mostly know ASRock for their motherboards and graphics cards, they do much more than that, including all-in-one coolers for your CPU. One of their latest AIOs is from their Phantom Gaming line of products, the 360 LCD. Designed with performance and style in mind, this 360mm AIO packs a ton of great features into its design. From a 3.4″ LCD display to a 360mm fan array, the Phantom Gaming 360 LCD is set up for success, so let’s get right into the review!
Special thanks to ASRock for providing the Phantom Gaming 360 LCD review sample!
Specifications of the ASRock Phantom Gaming 360 LCD
Packaging of the ASRock Phantom Gaming 360 LCD
The Phantom Gaming 360 LCD is packaged in a really nice retail box, with a glossy finish, and bright colors. 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. I love when companies include features and specifications on their retail packaging. While many consumers end up purchasing 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 Phantom Gaming 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 PG 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.
