The SilentiumPC brand is undergoing a change to Endorfy today, and along with this change is the launch of the new liquid all-in-one cooler from the Navis series. Similar to the Navis F240, today’s new addition features the excellent Fluctus series fans. Moreover, the Endorfy Navis F280 will also surely impress you with its attractive price tag of just under 100 EUR. What we have here is a solid potential for a very attractive price-performance ratio.
Conclusion and evaluation
Similarly to the Navis F240, the Navis F280 cooler tested today has a great potential to become a bestseller in the field of AIO coolers. Its efficiency reaches even much more expensive competitors without being too noisy. Its operating optimum is, as it usually is, somewhere around 50–60 % PWM signal for the fans, which ensures high efficiency with acceptable noise level. The pump noise is a bit noticeable at maximum speed, but unless you have your build tuned for minimum noise, you have virtually no chance of hearing it.
The minimalist design of the cooler is complemented by the quality materials used and good build quality. The cabling is elegantly handled thanks to the serial connection, which makes routing easy. The only real drawback remains the three-year warranty. In any case, the Endorfy Navis F280 clearly dominates in the price/performance ratio. With a price tag of just under 100 EUR, this is an unbeatable offer that will nicely outshine its competitors. Endorfy Navis F280 therefore rightfully earns the editorial award “Smart Buy!“.

oh, so they finally dropped the “Silentium” moniker that anyone caring about silence only laughed about
sure,the performance to cost ratio and performance in industrial applications are great, but I don’t want any of their products in my living/working space nor would risk reliability in critical systems, would simply pick Noctua Industrial fans instead
and no place for AIO where reliability matters obviously
