Cool concept, but proprietary connector makes it dead on arrival for me.

The upside of the design is that it allowed Asus to implement its Aura Sync lighting across the triple-fan setup, making it look like an animated billboard.

The author thinks “looks like an animated billboard” is a positive???

I’l put this right up there with the proprietary GPU power connectors that force you to buy a card and motherboard from the same vendor. Hard pass.

AIOs are totally unnecessary these days air coolers are so effective. The only reason to get one is to make the inside of your computer look neat. What a waste.
