G.Skill Enki 360 LCS liquid cooler review

Today, we are reviewing an AIO cooler from G.Skill: the Enki 360. It’s a debut for this brand in that sector, just like with Lian Li in July ’20. As for the name, Enki is the ancient Sumerian god of water, so that’s not a bad idea for this kind of product. We’ve received a 360 mm variant of this LCS, but there’s also a 240 mm and a 280 mm version, in case your chassis can’t fit the largest one (no pun intended) or if you’re on a tighter budget.

well apparently G.Skill has learned the value of patience and timed entry into a crowded market. the fact there's a technical difference (advantage greater surface area) without the accompanying noise of higher static pressure fans proves the adage of spending wisely. this imho makes the lack of splitters minimal and well worth it. just ask anyone who's gone through differing fans on an aio.

Now G.SKILL is jumping onto the already crowded bandwagon. G.SKILL must feel that RGB is a waning unnecessary 'by-product' and as already expressed by many enthusiasts? I however hope that with all of the tech-strides continuing to happen, that a more meaningful overall progress is being made in the AIO field. With most new generation CPU's running hotter and hotter, please give me a constant and 'additional' 20-30 degree drop in temps instead of looks, ease of installation and hose improvements. The other disturbing issue has been (with most AIO manufacturers) the continued inclusion of fans and those being second or even third grade. Supplying cheap fans is a major money maker for the manufacturers but short changing the enthusiast. Manufacturers apparently think that most customers cannot differentiate between fan qualities as they all look the same?

Fans changed between box/company product pictures and the ones from actual unboxing. Box/company pictures shows high static pressure fans and unboxed fans are clearly airflow ones. Since there is greater density of fins on the radiator you need high static pressure fans for optimal heat dissipation. And it shows in the results. I wonder why they opted out of high pressure fans showed on the box?
