This new AIO cooler packs more displays than your entire setup

[midian182]

Because, Why Not: There has been a growing trend among many PC builders recently: in-case displays. Not only have these screens been getting bigger and more advanced, but some people find that one just isn't enough. That's where Chinese firm Jonsbo comes in. The company's new AIO cooler series packs a bewildering four customizable LCDs.

Jonsbo's TF3-360SC series initially looks like a typical AIO cooler with a 3.5-inch 640 x 480 screen built into the pump block – a design we've seen many times before.

But Jonsbo has decided that one screen is far from enough. Embedded into the frames of the 120mm fans are three 3.38-inch 640 x 180 displays, ensuring users have all the data they could possibly want on display at all times.

The three panels, which operate at 350 nits brightness, can be customized to show system information such as temperatures, fan speeds, and clock rates. They can also be programmed using Jonsbo's proprietary software to display JPG images, GIFs, and MP4 videos.

The pump block has a detachable top cover that can be rotated to allow for different installation orientations, too.

The radiator, meanwhile, measures 397 x 120 x 27mm and is able to fit standard triple-fan mounting spots. The fans operate between 700 and 2,400 RPM, are rated between 21.46 and 62.40 CFM of airflow, and reach a maximum noise level of 37.3 dBA. The pump runs at 2,500 RPM and keeps below 30 dBA.

The TF3-360SC is compatible with a wide range of new and old Intel and AMD sockets: it fits Team Blue's LGA2011, 1851, 1700, 1200, and 115x, as well as Team Red's AM5 and AM4.

The displays can be managed through Jonsbo's Windows app, allowing different content to appear on each individual screen. The app connects to the AIO via USB headers and SATA power, which means that unlike some similar products, it doesn't require extra power cables.

The TF3-360SC series is available in matte black and gloss white to match specific PC builds. No word yet on pricing, but expect to take a big chunk out of your wallet. For comparison, Thermaltake's TH360 V2 Ultra AIO, which has "only" a single screen on the water block, is $150.

Damn glad this exists, because I do NOT have enough screens in my life. I've been abusively underscreened, and so far the only solution has been to hang out in sports bars.

Ok, but why though.

Talk about useless crap. What a perfect example this is.

Ok, but why though.

The same reason people have leds.

I have Lian-Li fans with lcd screens...just because the models without them was out of stock...but I do kinda like them - Use them to show different statuses - Like cpu temp, gpu temp, fanspeed etc..not something I "need"..but still...cool

Different strokes for different folks I guess, but I can live without all that shite being in my computer case.

Why all the hate?

9x out of 10 the whole premise of an uber pc is completely superfluous in general. I mean what, because gaming is such serious business? lmao

It's equivalent to a toy or a trinket. I think this thing is neat looking and fun. Doesn't need to have a point and is all about consumerism and consumer interest. Random RGB lighting is far more pointless, as it were. These screens can at least provide some sort of utility.

Yeah, but Jonsbo (this brand) does one for $120. A Lian li triple pack of lcd fans is $135-150.
So even if this thing comes in at say $220 relatively it's still a bargain. And funnily enough that'd be the same as some Corsair AIOs with just one display.

My partner got them (easily influenced by TikTok glamour shots) and I have to say im not impressed. Got the wireless ones that... Use a wire for the screen data.
Oh and the third one crashes every now and then and pretty much always fails to initialize on startup. Apparently a common and known issue when plugging more than two into the same USB hub (in her case, the one on the Lian li edge PSU).
The software is also quite limited in the values it can display.
What if I want to display 2 values? Nope (although the AIO lcd can cycle through two).
What if I want to display motherboard or SSD temp? Nope.

Have yet to look into system load from the L connect software but Lian li recommending not using more than 3 LCD fans displaying stats to keep resource usage in check does not sound promising. Perhaps when signal rgb support for it is added things get better but that was supposed to come ages ago and then they went quiet.
Lian Li, nice looking and performant hardware but imo their software is crap and their manuals are pretty bad.
