A Closer Look

Looking at the radiator, it really isn't anything special your not going to find any fancy side plates or pressure relief tech; instead, you get a clean aluminium radiator in pure black that should do the job just fine. When it comes to fin density, I measured an average of 21-22 fins per inch (FPI). This FPI is fairly typical for closed-loop coolers, but it does mean the fans need to produce a decent amount of pressure to be effective. As for the tubing, it is roughly 380 mm in length, which is a bit shorter than the usual 400 mm. That said, the fittings are an upgrade over the standard black ones as they feature a ringed design element which, while it won't likely be noticed, is still a nice touch.


The pump design is quite a bit different compared to most units. The mounting bracket is built-in and supports all sockets, so there is no swapping necessary. As for the design itself, its rounded edges attract light, while the square design keeps things simple. Only the pump top has any real design element that stands out, and even that is somewhat hidden as the company logo will only really appear with lighting hitting it at the correct angle. It's a nice touch, but sadly, an oversight during the design phase means it can't be removed and rotated. Power for the pump is provided with a SATA plug, while a PWM header is used for control. The wiring itself exits the pump housing between the two fittings. Thankfully, it doesn't impact the swivel fitting's range of motion. Finally, the copper cold-plate on my sample was slightly convex and had some scratches because I fumbled it with my butterfingers. Other than that, the actual machining marks are barely visible.


When it comes to the fans, Endorfy opted to use their Fluctus series in the 140 mm form factor. These fans feature daisy chainable headers and rubber corners to dampen vibration. While the RPM range is exceptional, with a minimum of 250 to a max of 1800, Endorfy did not provide the CFM rating of the fans. Even so, a fan is a fan in that it spins and moves air as long as it does the job well; the CFM rating won't matter all that much for the average user since how that info is acquired lacks standardization and will differ between brands.
