THE ELC240

The main body of the ELC240 is made by an 270mm long, 120mm wide and 32mm thick radiator that can accommodate up to four fans in push & pull configuration.

We have seen thicker 240mm radiators in the market but we've also seen quite thinner ones so Enermax has hit a good balance.

Worth mentioning is that the radiator fins are perfect and I’m putting extra weight in this cause with most AIO solutions this is not the case (we've seen bend ones with several other samples).

The 315mm long fluorinated ethylene propylene tubes are made by a harder material than what we see on other solutions still they are almost equally flexible.

Enermax has opted for a normal printed logo instead of a LED light ontop of the small ceramic bearing pump (2200RPM).

Aside being quite flexible the tubes can also be rotated at the pump giving the consumer even more flexibility.

Under the pump Enermax has pre-applied thermal paste to the copper cold plate but unfortunately there are quite a few marks/scrapes on the copper which we hope will not affect our outcome.

To power the pump Enermax has placed a single cable with three 4pin connectors one that takes power directly from the motherboard (and also sends info like current RPM and temperatures) and two others on which you can connect the two 120mm fans (although personally i prefer connecting fans onto the mainboard or a separate fan controller).

The bundled fans are controlled via a small switch placed at their rear which allows for speeds between 800-1500RPM, 800-1800RPM and 800-2200RPM (in our tests we used the top mode).

With the fans installed on the radiator the width increases from 32mm to 57mm so you need to take it into account when installing the ELC 240.
