Enermax Liqtech 120X Liquid CPU Cooler Review

Cooling/Water Cooling by leeghoofd @ 2014-03-04

Enermax is trying to establish a position in the All in One market, however battling against the big names alike Corsair with a very diverse gamma is not an easy mission to accomplish. Though Enermax is back with two new products: the Liqtech and Liqmax series, the former is the high end version, sporting a thick 120 radiator or large 240 radiator and an aluminum waterblock. The Liqmax is the more budget friendly 120mm radiator version available in a single or push and pull configuration. Enermax tries to step away from the others with some nifty features to enhance the cooling performance; secondly the aesthetics of the today reviewed Liqtech 120X have been seriously overhauled.

A Closer Look Contd.

The Enermax Liqtech 120X is compatible with following platforms:

Intel: LGA775-1150/1155/1156/1366 and 2011

AMD: AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2 and FM2+

One black anodized backplate fits all Intel (not required for LGA2011) and AMD sockets. Thermal paste is included in a small tube form; a Fan splitter cable is also provided.

On LGA2011, just screw in the standoffs and secure the aluminum pump housing; takes about 2 minutes max to have a perfect mount.

For the other Intel sockets we are required to install the backplate; as with LGA2011 installation is straight forward and without any issues.

AMD users have to dismount first the Intel brackets. It only takes four screws to do so, mount the AMD compatible brackets and secure these. On the backplate we are required to position some adhesive tape to avoid any short circuits. Before positioning the pump/block unit make sure you have installed the black plastic spacers.
