G.Skill ENKI Series AiO ENKI 360

G.Skill AiO mit RGB! G.Skill stellt mit der ENKI-Serie eine AiO-Wasserkühlung mit ARGB vor und weitet damit sein Portfolio in puncto PC-Komponenten aus. Wir haben uns das Modell mit dem 360-Millimeter-Radiator einmal genauer angeschaut.

Mit der ENKI-Serie bietet G.Skill eigene AiO-Kühlungen an. Besonderen Wert legt man dabei auf eine hohe Performance. Anhand des Top-Modells mit 360-mm-Radiator wollen wir herausfinden, wie es um die Kühlleistung wirklich bestellt ist.

G.SKILL's first attempt at an all-in-one liquid cooler proves to be a solid offering. The ENKI 360 not only delivers good maximum performance, but its capabilities in noise normalized testing proved good as well. When it came to its overall maximum cooling potential, it tied the Corsair H150i Elite Capellix and Deepcool Castle 280 EX. When all coolers were tested at 45 dBA, the ENKI 360 fell behind a bit but still performed quite well. However, the fact that the EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB took the top spot thanks to the brute force approach remains, and Corsair's H150i Elite Capellix in a noise normalized test holds a noticeable lead, at least on AMD.

The G.Skill Enki 360 costs 179.99 USD. We think that it’s a rather reasonable offer, and worth the money. If you are looking for a liquid cooler with (rather discreet) RGB functionality for the pump, you might want to consider the G.Skill Enki 360. You also have the 240 and 280 mm variants to choose from, so you can easily find a good fit for your system. The performance is good, excellent, and even the idle noise levels are more than satisfactory. It could have been a bit quieter under load, but you can fix that with a good fan curve. The Enki 360’s pump design with the (discreet) RGB lighting makes this product an appealing offer (but some may miss the RGB on the fans). The cables are long enough, and that’s not to be taken for granted. The provided thermal paste did well (pre-applied, and you also get a spare tube), and the differences vs. the Kryonaut were not really significant (about 1-2 degrees). We recommend lowering the pump rpm if you want silent idle operation (and this decrease won't hurt the performance too much). There’s a 5-year warranty here as well. On the other side, it’s strange that there’s no Y-Splitter for the fans, and if not, fan hub is supplied, then it’s a huge miss. Putting all these things together, we can surely approve this product for the whole package, and G.Skill is on a good path to attracting a multitude of customers (associating the company only with the RAM kits till this moment).
