Enermax Aquafusion 120 White (ELC-AQF120-SQA-W)
AIO CPU Water Cooler
An all-in-one, closed-loop liquid cooler that delivers high-performance water cooling for Intel and AMD processors. Its sophisticated water block, powerful yet quiet Enermax SquA RGB fan, and densely finned aluminum radiator work together to quickly and efficiently take heat away from the processor. Both the water block and fan support addressable RGB, allowing you to create dynamic visual experience via motherboard software or the included control box. Plus, the Aquafusion comes pre-assembled, making installation and maintenance a breeze.
Design
AQUAFUSION White is an All-in-One CPU liquid cooler with pre-filled coolant. This makes a water cooler as simple as a regular air cooler. Easy installation and no maintenance. The fully sealed design ensures lowest evaporation of liquid and a long product lifetime.
With colorful lighting and silent cooling AQUAFUSION White is the best for case mods and gaming systems.
Dual-Chamber Water Block
The patented Dual-Chamber Design isolates the pump from the heated coolant, extending the life of the cooler.
The cold coolant enters the first chamber with the pump inside and is then forced through the cold plate absorbing heat. The heated coolant is collected in the second chamber and then transported to the radiator for cooling.
Central Coolant Inlet (CCI) Design
The central coolant inlet (CCI) injects coolant at the hottest point of the CPU increasing the cooling performance. The cold plates Shunt-Channel Technology (SCT) shortens the coolant flow path and results in faster heat transfer.
Aurabelt Water Block
The premium RGB water block with 3D Layer Design and Aurabelt lighting is able to create colorful rainbow effects with 16.8 million colors.
RGB Sync
Synchronizable RGB lighting via addressable RGB headers of motherboards from Asus, Asrock, MSI and Gigabyte. Programmable lighting effects via motherboards software. Razer Chroma support with compatible motherboards of Asrock and MSI.
Note: Addressable RGB LEDs run on 5V, do not connect them to a non-addressable 4 pin header with 12V.
SquA RGB Fans
ENERMAX SquA RGB fans support addressable RGB technology for a unique RGB lighting experience. The fan is equipped with a Vortex Frame Design that can generate a centered, strong air pressure that is optimized for radiators.
SquA RGB’s frame is equipped with rubber damping pads to prevent vibration transfer to the chassis.
RGB Control Box
The integrated RGB control box offers quick setup of 10 pre-set lighting effects without the need of an RGB motherboard or additional software.
Tubes
The premium weaved tubings are made of flexible and long lasting polyamide rubber with multiple layers ensuring zero permeability and long-lasting operation. The tubes offer an easy system installation thanks to a length of 400mm.
For maximum safety the connections to the fittings are sealed with extra strong glue.
Radiator
The radiator offers a large cooling surface with high heat exchange capacity thanks to the fine channels and thin aluminum fins. AQUAFUSION White is available with a 240mm radiator with 360W TDP cooling capacity.
Compatibility
Quick & user-friendly universal mounting system supporting Intel and AMD sockets (excluding TR4/SP3 socket). The pressure adjustment spring system and high conductive Dow-Corning thermal grease ensures a perfect contact with the CPU’s heat spreader.
AQUAFUSION White is compatible with 120mm fan mountings. Please ensure your case offers enough space to install the radiator.
Pros: Solid build quality. Nice packaging, Intel 1700 ready (with add-on bracket). Easy to work with. Looks great. Fans look very nice. Fans move air effectively. Rad Fins look quality. Hoses feel good. Pump looks good. Easy to install on both AMD and Intel. RGB plays ok with others. Pump is on the quiet side. No Pre-Applied Thermal Paste. (Could also be a con for some)
Cons: Would be nice to have a few extra screws for the RAD and fans. Won't fit on the top of a Corsair 5000D for some reason. Just couldn't get it to fit up there. Thermals are less than expected. I'd hope that it would cool a 5900X better, but could just be one of those things. Temps at idle are between 31 and 45. Fans could be quieter. Fan RGB wiring, as usual, was fun.
Overall Review: I'd buy it again. I'd recommend it to others. I'd use it with a 5900X and up to a 12900KS. (NOT OC)
