A big thank you to Endorfy for supplying the review sample.
Endorfy is a new brand many will not have heard of as of yet. That doesn't mean they don't have a rich heritage in the DIY PC space. Endorfy unified SPC Gear and SilentiumPC into a single brand, meaning there is a wealth of knowledge and expertise in-house, and while the brand may be new, you can still expect stellar products. In the PC cooling market specifically, SilentiumPC was known for its impressive product portfolio of value-focused CPU coolers. From that point, the brand expanded into power supplies, fans, and cases. Meanwhile, SPC Gear focused on peripherals. With the change to Endorfy, they have removed branding limitations and allowed themselves more freedom to expand into new areas that are not just limited to the PC space. It will be interesting to see where the company goes from here and what new products will be released going forward.
In today's review, I will be looking at the Endorfy Navis F280 AIO. This all-in-one liquid cooler features an all-black design making it appear quite stealthy. This will likely appeal to those that seek to avoid all the ARGB lighting bling that has resulted in some truly garish design over the last few years that has also resulted in serious cost creep even before inflation. Therefore it is quite nice that Endorfy has stuck to its roots with the Navis F280, as it is attractively priced at roughly $105.00 / €99.00. Should the performance of this 280 mm unit be on par with its competition, it will be a great value. Furthermore, if it manages to outperform, then it will truly be an attractive offering, so let's take a closer look and see what this AIO can do.
