A Closer Look

Gamdias sticks with traditional radiator design principles on the AURA GL360 V2. No fancy side shrouds or other cost added extras, instead you get a simple aluminium radiator with an FPI (fins-per-inch) of 20-21, which is consistent with many other AIOs. The tubing is EPDM rubber and measures in at 400 mm. It also comes with a braided sleeve to improve the visual aesthetics.


The pump cap with the AURA name can be rotated so its always oriented correctly, which is a nice touch, and is backlit via ARGB LEDs to make it pop visually. As for the tubing and fittings they are a bit close together, with the wiring harness exiting the pump housing in between. I would prefer a bit more space or for the wiring to be elsewhere for better overall range on the swivel fittings. However, with that said the range isn't restricted too much so it's only a minor issue that may crop up in extreme situations. When it comes to the copper coldplate you will find some machining marks are visible but nothing out of the ordinary. As for the shape, it's slightly convex with the high point being at the center.


AURA GL V2 fans are quite interesting as they are wired in series to keep cable mess to a minimum. This could be a problem if one fan dies since there are no connectors to be found. That said, it does keep all the ARGB and fan wiring contained which makes for a much easier time when dealing with cable management. In terms of specifications the fans are rated to have a PWM RPM range of 800-1800 with a max CFM of 73.6. It is also good to see that the fans use a fully closed in frame meaning air leakage from blowback should be reduced compared to rounded frame designs or more open designs.
