Enermax AquaFusion ADV 360

In diesem Test richten wir unser Augenmerk auf eine AIO-Wasserkühlung mit schönen RGB-Effekten aus dem Hause Enermax. Genauer gesagt handelt es sich um die neue Aquafusion ADV 360, eine Weiterentwicklung des bereits von uns getesteten Aquafusion 360 Modells. Diese neue Version beeindruckt nicht nur durch ihre visuelle Gestaltung, bestehend aus beleuchteten Lüfterrotoren und einem rechteckigen Rahmen, sondern auch durch eine Pumpe mit wirklich gelungenem Spiegeleffekt.

Enermax legt bei seinen intensiv beleuchteten AiO-Kühlungen aus der AquaFusion-Serie nach. Die neuen AquaFusion ADV-Modelle sollen sowohl mit einem auffäligen Lichtdesign als auch mit ihrer Kühlleistung überzeugen. Für den Test haben wir mit der AquaFusion ADV 360 das größte Modell der Serie erhalten.

Whether it's for their cooling efficiency, looks, installation ease, zero clearance issues or even their very little case airflow requirements (or all of these) AIO liquid CPU coolers are what most gamers, enthusiasts and even professionals trust nowadays. Still as I’ve already pointed out numerous times in past reviews when there's such a large number of models in the global market currently although it's very easy to pick an AIO based on looks it's nowhere near as easy to pick the right one in regards to performance, noise levels and yes, even quality. The Aquafusion ADV ARGB is one of the latest lines of AIO coolers to hit the market by Enermax (released in early 2023) and today I’ll be testing the tri-fan 360mm model.

Enermax have a very good cooler here, and while it’s not leading the pack in terms of acoustics, price or performance, it sort of sits in a very comfortable average when compared to rival models. It can certainly hold its own against the other big name brands, with thermal performance that is more than good enough to tame our Intel Core i9-12900K, which is famously a very hot running CPU.

The reviewed Enermax Aquafusion ADV 360 and 240 cooler performed well. This time it was the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (in place of Ryzen 7 3700X) and Intel Core i9 13900K (as a replacement for the i9 12900K). It handled both tested processors (although the smaller variant couldn't cope with the i9 13900K with 35 dBA normalized noise). The price for both products is reasonable, considering the features you get. The maximum rpm (2000) noise is too much, but you can set your fan curve to make it more reasonable. There are three overall size variants (as there’s also 120 mm) and two colors (black and white – this one is only for 240 and 120 mm versions). You get ARGB lighting on the pump (with the infinity mirror effect) and fans.
