Enermax Aquafusion 360mm AIO Cooler Review

Performance
Temperatures
Stock performance is certainly recpectable, with one of the lowest idles we’ve had at 24c, and a decent average of just 82c, which is pretty great for the i9-12900K.

Using the optmised settings, the idle did increase, but it’s still very competitive. However, with a load temperature of just 70c, the AquaFusion 360mm is certainly in the high-end class here.

Acoustics
The fans are a little on the louder at full speed, but honestly, it’s not really much different than other 360mm radiators.

However, at least they didn’t get louder when we overclocked, so that’s something. To be honest, the fan profile is a little agressive as it is on most AIO coolers, so you’ve most definately got room to dial them back to better acoustics here.

CineBench R23
At the stock settings, the CineBench R23 score was competitive, coming in at 25837, and about on par with the similarly euqipped Antec vortex 360 AIO.

However, when overclocked, we did see a nice improvement in the score, taking it to 26377 points.
