A Closer Look

Looking at the radiator, there's nothing particularly remarkable about it; you won't find any fancy side plates embossed logos. Instead, you get a clean aluminium radiator in pure black, which should perform well enough if the F280 is anything to go by. In terms of fin density, I measured an average of 21–22 fins per inch (FPI), which is typical for closed-loop coolers but does require the fans to generate a decent amount of pressure for effectiveness. Regarding the tubing, it measures approximately 460 mm in length, slightly longer than usual, but given the mounting design, this is a welcomed increase. Additionally, the fittings are an upgrade over the standard black ones, featuring a ringed design element, adding a subtle but nice touch.


The pump design stands out from most units with its built-in mounting bracket that supports all sockets, eliminating the need for swapping. The pump housing balances rounded edges that attract light with a simple square shape, while the top offers a subtle brushed aluminium plate design with the company logo only visible when illuminated at the right angle. Unfortunately, the plate cannot be rotated. Power for the pump comes from a SATA plug, while control is managed through a PWM header. Wiring exits the pump housing between the two fittings, without impacting the swivel fitting's range of motion. Regarding the copper cold-plate it has a slightly convex shape, and you will see some scraps since I forgot to take this photo before mounting, prior to that the surface was pristine with machining marks being somewhat visible.


Endorfy equipped the Navis F360 with their 120 mm Fluctus fans. These fans boast daisy-chainable headers and rubber corners to minimize vibration. While the RPM range is impressive, ranging from a minimum of 250 to a maximum of 1800, Endorfy did not provide the CFM rating of the fans. However, for most users, the CFM rating may not be crucial since the effectiveness of the fan in moving air is what matters most. Moreover, the acquisition of this information lacks standardization and varies between brands so even if a company lists CFM and noise levels they usually mean very little compared to real world testing.
