INTRODUCTION

    AIO liquid cooling or air cooling? This is probably the very first thing that comes to mind when building a brand new system (or upgrading your old one) and well at least for me it's a rather simple one. So, go with air cooling if you never want to worry about a pump failing on you (and if your case has plenty of airflow) or with AIO liquid cooling if you want optimal cooling efficiency and zero clearance issues with motherboard components and hardware (also if case airflow is not that great). Personally, i prefer AIO liquid CPU cooling solutions mainly because i don't have to worry about interior airflow as much (ease of installation is also a factor for me) and today on my test bench i have yet another such model, the Dragonfang 360 ARGB by Valkyrie.

    Just like with the SYN line of AIO liquid Cooling Systems by Valkyrie the Dragonfang is also available in both black and white colors and as expected follows the typical combination of a tri-fan 360 aluminum radiator (397mm in length), FEP braided tubes and a copper waterblock and pump combo. Valkyrie has once again used three 120mm X12 fans with the Dragonfang 360 (2150RPM/80CFM/3.14mmH2O/29dBA) (so just like with the SYN 360 you can expect partial ARGB lighting from them) and as for the top of the waterblock/pump logo this time it comes ready with several ARGB LEDs (ARGB lighting for both the fans and the pump can be controlled via the bundled hub and the Myth Cool PC software). Finally, and also just like the SYN 360 the Dragonfang 360 ARGB AIO is also covered with a very generous 5-year limited warranty.
