As always, the packaging -- well, everything is packaged, cushioned and bundled safely in the box. Let's rip that packaging open.

Once opened up you'll spot the liquid cooling unit consisting of the radiator, fan, tubing, pump/cooling block. Mostly pre-fitted and ready to use of course. Everything is carefully packaged and individually wrapped in plastic. Photos and installation wise we'll focus on the 240 kit, but throughout the review you will obviously see the 120X kit in action as well. The installation principles are the same for both-kits.

You'll spot a backplate that supports a wide variety of CPU sockets; Intel LGA 2011 / 1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 1150 / 775 and AMD Socket FM2 / FM1 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2 based processors can be used in combination with this cooler. That's extensive socket support alright.

Included are:

Liquid CPU Cooler
Mounting kit for all modern CPU sockets
Dual High Performance Fans 600~2500 RPM (with max RPM selector switch).
Fan and radiator mounting screws
Thermal compound
Quick Start Guide

So summed up, once unboxed you'll spot the cooling unit consisting of the radiator assembly, fans and brackets + back-plate that supports a very wide range of AMD and Intel processors. Enermax managed to keep the installation simple, just the basics for installation are needed.

Here we have the 240 unit, we'll need to mount the two variable PWM fans (each 120mm), with the pump and radiator assembled in one single unit. Both fans are pre-wired on one connector and are controlled from a RPM/PWM controller on your motherboard or. The radiator has a nice red stripe that gives the product that classy feel. These red stripes are rubberized so they also prevent resonating noises from the fans.

Enermax Liqtech 120X and 240 review
We test and review the all new Enermax Liqtech 120X and 240 Liquid coolers. Can it keep up with similar Asetek and compeeting products? Let's find out!...

Enermax Fulmo GT review
We review and test the Fulmo GT. Enermax has been going very strong with their power supply and fans. For a while now they also offer PC cases, and more recently they released what seems to be the biggest chassis I've ever laid my hands on. This chassis series has HPTX support for the bigger than biggest motherboards and some pretty cool features as well.

Enermax KW001 Briskie Keyboard mouse combo review
Keyboard kits come in all sizes, shapes and forms .. and that's next to a gazillion of manufacturers that offers them. Surprisingly enough a few weeks ago Enermax, the guys behind the best power supplies and the brightest fans also launched a keyboard/mouse combo. Briskie is all about value and as such for 25 USD/EUR you get a mouse and what we think is a very decent wireless RF keyboard.

Enermax Platimax 850W power supply review
Enermax always is able surprise us, they now have released the Platimax power supplies, that means a platinum certification and yeah .. that boils down to a 94% efficient product. Very few products get this certification. Today we'll grab a couple of older older supplies and see if what they claim is true, can we really save on energy. We fire off three PSU's at a P55 / Core i7 870 based system setup with a GeForce GTX 590. We then monitor power consumption in idle, CPU productivity (stress) mode and then lock into a gaming session.
