INTRODUCTION

     Air vs Liquid CPU cooling has been one of the most heated debates in the PC community for well over a decade now and at least for me things are rather simple. If you don't care about having the best cooling efficiency around (top air coolers are the exception to this), airflow levels are good inside your case, clearance issues are not a thing for you and you don't ever want to concern yourself with even the possibility of a broken pump then air cooling is clearly what you should lean towards. On the other hand, if you're looking for the best possible cooling efficiency, airflow levels are not that great or if clearance issues are a thing, then liquid cooling is meant for you. Looks obviously also matter but there are both air and liquid coolers that look nice so that's really something that comes down to personal preference. The LIQMAXFLO ARGB line of AIO liquid coolers by ENERMAX was unveiled late last year and with me today i have the 360mm model.

   ENERMAX was founded in Taiwan in 1990 and is a world-renowned PC Power Supply manufacturer and maker of award-winning PC components such as chassis, coolers, fans, and peripherals, with recognition from consumers around the world. Our farsighted R&D capability is our key strength and we stick to our spirit of “Technical Innovation” and “Quality First” to create products that unleash the full potential of the system for every PC enthusiast.

   Unlike most AIO lines the LIQMAXFLO ARGB line of AIO CPU Liquid Coolers by ENERMAX currently includes 240/360/420mm models all of which stand out due to their TDP of 400W, 38mm thick aluminum radiators, 60mm VRM ARGB fan (3000RPM) placed on top of the pump and the bundled coolant (for service purposes). Everything else pretty much remains the same and so once again we find two 400mm long nylon braided rubber tubes, high-performance dual chamber Xtreme ceramic-bearing pump (3-phase, 6-pole motor with a speed of up to 3000RPM -+10%), all-copper base (with shunt-channel technology) and three 120mm ARGB PWM fans (3mm thick blades/1800RPM/58.03CFM/23.46dBA/2.4mmH2O). As expected, both the three bundled 120mm ARGB PWM fans and the 60mm VRM ARGB fan are fully compatible with 3-pin (5V) ARGB sync technologies (ASUS Aura Sync, Razer Chroma RGB, ASRock Polychrome Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion and MSI Mystic Light) but for those who don't own a compatible motherboard ENERMAX bundles a compact RGB control box with their LIQMAXFLO ARGB AIO series. Finally, ENERMAX covers the entire LIQMAXFLO ARGB line of AIO liquid coolers with a 5-year limited warranty.
