Enermax has introduced a fresh addition to its lineup with the LIQMAX IV ARGB 360mm liquid cooler, maintaining the hallmark design of its predecessor, the LIQMAX IV series 360mm cooler. Despite its familiar appearance, this new release sparks interest with its impressive specifications.
Interestingly, the ARGB version doesn’t feature ARGB LEDs on the fans, keeping the design consistent with the LMIV360-SF Edition. Although it might suggest an upgrade with the inclusion of ARGB LEDs, no differences are immediately noticeable in both appearance and technical specs. Interestingly, this ARGB edition is primarily marketed in regions such as China, suggesting a strategic focus on specific markets.
Priced at approximately 599 Yuan, translating to about $83 USD, the LIQMAX IV ARGB 360mm cooler caters to both high-performance Intel and AMD platforms. It supports the most recent AMD AM5 and Intel LGA 1851 sockets, along with compatibility for AM4, LGA 1700, LGA 115X, and 2066. While the standard SF edition offers various sizes, from 240mm to 360mm, the ARGB variant is currently available solely in the 360mm version.
The robust cooling prowess of this model can handle up to 390W, making it a top choice for enthusiasts aiming to push their processors to peak performance. It features Enermax’s dual-chamber water block with Gen.2 XTREME Pump, delivering a base 35% larger than previous models and boosting the flow rate by up to 31%.
Enermax’s attention to detail is evident in the rotatable CPU block display, which adapts to user preferences and provides real-time hardware metrics. This model enhances the cooling performance for CPUs like the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, often seeing a temperature reduction of up to 5°C compared to other high-end AIOs, which can facilitate higher clock speeds for longer durations.
The pump and fan speeds, ranging from 1500-3100 RPM and 500-1800 RPM respectively, contribute significantly to its efficient performance. Available with a reliable 5-year warranty, the LIQMAX IV ARGB 360mm is available on major Chinese e-commerce platforms like JD.com, adding a dependable choice for tech enthusiasts.
