TRYX PANORAMA vs TRYX PANORAMA SE
When TRYX first unveiled the PANORAMA, it stood out immediately, not just as another AIO CPU cooler, but as one that blended performance with style thanks to its striking curved AMOLED display and strong cooling hardware. In early 2025, TRYX had followed up with the PANORAMA SE, a more streamlined version designed to capture the same appeal at a friendlier price point.
On the surface, the two coolers look similar, but there are some key differences under the hood that could sway your decision depending on what you value more: raw cooling performance, design flexibility, or affordability. Let’s break down where the PANORAMA and PANORAMA SE overlap and where they set themselves apart.

Main Differences
What PANORAMA provides:
More cooling headroom under extreme loads
Dedicated VRM fan on the pump block
Thicker radiator allows for better thermal margins
ARGB controller box included
What PANORAMA SE provides:
Lower price without losing the signature look
Rotatable display for flexible mounting orientation
Quieter operation due to no VRM fan
Which model is right for you?
Both the PANORAMA and the PANORAMA SE are built to turn heads, but they serve slightly different kinds of PC builders. The original PANORAMA leans into its flagship identity with maximum cooling performance, premium extras like a VRM fan, and a thicker radiator that gives enthusiasts more thermal headroom and an ARGB controller. It is the cooler you reach for if you are pushing a high-end CPU to its limits or simply want the best of everything.
The SE, on the other hand, feels like the everyday choice. It keeps the gorgeous, curved display and the core cooling performance intact while trimming down a few features in exchange for a lower price tag and even better mounting flexibility. For most builds, that balance makes it a practical option.
TLDR:
Go PANORAMA if you want zero compromises with performance and premium features
Go PANORAMA SE if you would rather save some money, don’t need the premium cooling features and ARGB control box while still getting the iconic PANORAMA display. This model will be recommended if you need the extra tubing length for certain dual-chamber case routing.
Either way, TRYX has made sure you do not have to sacrifice style for substance.
