Results – maximum speed
Enermax has recently introduced the new Liqmaxflo cooler model series. These coolers feature a hefty radiator, a fan above the pump to cool the area around the CPU socket, and their loop can even be refilled with liquid. Today’s review will focus on the 360mm variant, the middle of the range (240mm and 420mm variants are also available). I have pretty high expectations for this cooler, so hopefully it will be able to live up to them.
Results – maximum speed
Why is there a missing value in the cooler chart? Either because the cooler could no longer handle the load in the specified mode, or because the fan could not be slowed down to the required level, typically the mode with the lowest noise level.

- Conclusion and evaluation
the title says silent but it doesn’t even appear on the 36dB(A) chart, that seems pretty contradictory
The tonal peaks are very strong, perhaps even stronger than the Arctic P12. I guess that’s to be expected with the softer translucent material and similarly long blades, without any ring to support them.
I would guess the peaks roughly corresponds to the blade pass frequency, so 39 dBA is around 65Hz/5*60 = 780 RPM for example.
