CONCLUSION
By using a 38mm thick aluminum radiator ENERMAX was able to produce good cooling efficiency numbers at very low noise levels and that’s both good and bad. Personally, I would had used faster fans to produce even better results and for those who wouldn’t need the extra speed I’d bundle a low-noise adapter (just like they did with the Aquafusion ADV ARGB series). That being said with noise levels hardly surpassing 46dBA at full load the LIQMAXFLO ARGB 360 is among the 10 lowest noise models in my charts (and out of a total of 89 that says a lot). At the same time however the 38mm thick radiator may not fit in every single case out there (63mm with the fans) so be sure to check prior to getting your hands on any member of the LIQMAXFLO ARGB series. The fact that the speed of the 60mm VRM ARGB fan is “tied” to that of the pump is actually not an issue since noise levels are not high enough (if they were that would be a different story – still some people would certainly like to be able to adjust its speed). The ability to fill the radiator with coolant if ever needed is also a plus although I don’t expect coolant levels to be an issue for many years to come.
Currently retailing for just USD127.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 130.15Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the LIQMAXFLO ARGB 360 AIO Liquid Cooler by ENERMAX is priced very well. At the end of the day the LIQMAXFLOW ARGB 360 may not be the highest performance AIO in the market today but it does well, it’s almost inaudible, comes with extra coolant in the box (just in case) and it looks very nice so the Golden Award is in order.
