Conclusion and evaluation
At the end of April, SilentiumPC launched a pair of new AIO coolers from the Navis series. These are the F240 and F240 ARGB models, which differ only in RGB backlighting. Both of these coolers are equipped with Fluctus fans, so you can expect a pleasant acoustics as well as solid cooling effectiveness. Combined with a very attractive price tag, these coolers have the potential to become bestsellers in their class.
Conclusion and evaluation
SilentiumPC Navis F240 ARGB has the potential to become a mainstream bestseller in the field of AIO coolers. Its efficiency rivals even larger and more expensive coolers. At the same time, it is not excessively noisy and its build quality is high. Especially the cooling block is pleasantly heavy and dense, nothing bends or deforms anywhere. The cables are neatly arranged thanks to the serial connection of all cables, which greatly simplifies their unbundling. Finally, the pump speed can also be controlled using a PWM signal from the motherboard.
ARGB fan backlighting is a visually interesting feature, but this is practically standard nowadays. Alternatively, you can save a fifth of the price for the non-ARGB version and achieve a very attractive price/performance ratio. The only real drawback is the three-year warranty. But all in all, the Navis F240 ARGB fully deserves our Approved editorial award.
