Enermax Aquafusion ADV 240mm AIO Cooler Review

A Closer Look

First up, let’s take a look at the new fans. They’re pretty unique looking with a sort of squared circle look about them that I really like. They are ARGB fans and have a frosted fan blade design that will illuminate, but also a thick ring of lighting on the outer frame too, for double the fun.

The fans feel quite robust with thick frames and it’s like they’re built from multiple layers, with these ridges down the side that will add to their overall strength, while reducing the need for more plastic by filling this area in entirely.

There are anti-vibration rubber mounts on all four corners, and on both sides too, so you’ll get the effect of them regardless of their orientation.

One thing that really stands out, however, is the back of the fan, which has thirteen thin blades that act as the frame support and motor mount. I’ve never seen a fan design like this and obviously, it looks like it’ll provide minimal air resistance too, which is always a good thing. The fans themselves feature a 9-blade fan design. They’re designed to run at 500 to 2000 RPM. However, there’s a low-noise adaptor included to bring that down to 1700 RPM should you need it.

Moving on to the pump, it’s quite compact design despite using a dual-chamber design, being not much larger than the copper cold plate on the bottom, which is actually quite large itself though, and should provide excellent coverage for even the larger over the supported CPUs.

It supports all major AMD and Intel sockets (see list below), with brackets that simply screw onto the side of the pump. The pump itself uses a ceramic bearing, with a 50,000 hours MTBF, which is nearly 6 years of constant usage.

• Intel® LGA 1700/1200/115x/2066/2011/2011-3/1366
• AMD® AM5/AM4/AM3+/FM2+/FM1

The top of the pump has a gorgeous mirror finish to it, which I think looks amazing when it’s not turned on. However, there’s some ARGB lighting under it, which you’ll see in action shortly.

The radiator is a 240mm design, and it comes with a pretty densely packed aluminium fin array that allows it to deal with an impressive 360W TDP. It also comes with support to mount the fans on either side, giving you more flexibility when you come to install it.

The tubing is good quality with a nice and durable black weaving that both protects it, and looks great too. There’s also black sleeving on the PWM connector for the pump.
