Enermax ELC 240 Liquid CPU Cooler Review

At stock CPU speeds we see the Enermax ELC 240 keeping ground with the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme, but falling some way off the Corsair H100i.

With overclocking the Enermax ELC 240 demonstrated that its optimum performance could be found at 1200 RPM fan speed. Given how loud it was at 1600 RPM compared to the competition (as we will see on the next page) it seems only fair to call the Enermax ELC 240’s actual/real performance as the 1200 RPM speeds which offer a 34 delta. Now a 34 delta is some four degrees off the Corsair H100i and two degrees off the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme. Thus like I anticipated at the beginning the Enermax ELC 240 hasn’t quite managed to keep up with the latest Asetek (Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme) and CoolIT (Corsair H100i) offerings.
