Asus found a problem with some of their fancy computer coolers that stops them from working properly. The ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB coolers lose their cooling power after getting really hot for three straight days. These coolers have bright screens and colorful lights that normally work great. The company will replace broken units for free. People who push their computers really hard during extreme tests usually face this issue.

The coolers work fine at normal temperatures between 40 and 45 degrees. Asus tests every cooler for three days at 70 degrees before selling them. The trouble starts when temperatures go above 90 degrees for 72 hours straight. Hardcore computer users who overclock their systems often hit these extreme temperatures. The company thinks a manufacturing mistake caused the problem rather than bad design.

Asus can tell which coolers have the defect by looking at their serial numbers. The broken coolers have serial numbers that start with T4 and contain certain number ranges. These ranges cover 1689 to 1932, 2025 to 2888, 2961 to 2998, and 3193 to 3242. The company made a website where people can check if their cooler needs replacement. These coolers cost between 300 and 400 dollars but are hard to find in American stores.
