The Navis Evo ARGB 360 immediately caught my eye by its protective cover inside the box. However, to mount the cooler on a motherboard with the TR4/sTRX4 socket, you must replace the preinstalled bracket for standard desktop processors.

Given the individual chips of these processors are concentrated in the middle of the substrate, I wouldn’t be afraid to install this cooler on AMD Threadripper 3970X or 3990X. Of course, this dimension is not random, as the base can cover most of the area of the heat spreader (IHS) of AMD Threadripper processors. The contact surface of the cooling block is made of copper and its dimensions are an eye-catcher, 52.5 x 58 millimeters. The power supply of the controller itself is done by the means of a SATA cable. Simply plug the cable from the Reset button on your case into this controller, changing its function to a switch between a total of fifty backlight modes. You will also find a Nano-Reset controller in the cooler’s package. However, if your motherboard is not equipped with it, you do not need to despair.
However, you can also connect the ARGB backlight on the fans to the cooling block and have everything synchronized via a single ARGB 5 V connector. However, the pump is not equipped with any PWM cable, its power supply is provided by a SATA cable and it is therefore not possible to regulate its speed.

You can connect all fans in series to a single PWM connector on the motherboard. The cabling of this cooler is elegantly solved, as the fans enable gradual connection of both PWM and ARGB cables. Then all you have to do is attach the radiator to a suitable spot in the case, plug the cables and you’re done. All you have to do is prepare the corresponding components of the mounting kit according to the socket of your processor, apply thermal paste onto the processor and install the cooling block on the processor.
The entire cooler is completely maintenance-free and is ready to be installed in your setup right after unboxing, including the fans on the radiator. Fortunately, the hoses are attached to the cooling block for easier handling using swivel fittings. You may more likely encounter minor problems with storing excess hose lengths in more compact setups. The hoses are equipped with a protective braid and due to their length of 460 millimeters, you will likely have no problem with the installation of the radiator, even in larger cases. In the radiator, the liquid is cooled by the means of three 120 millimeter fans. Inside this block is a pump that pumps heated liquid from the block through hoses to the aluminum radiator. The heart of the entire cooler is a copper-based processor block. The design of the Navis Evo ARGB 360 will probably not surprise you in any way, it is a classic all-in-one liquid cooler without unnecessary fads.

So today, we’re going to check whether the manufacturer did not save costs in the wrong areas and whether this cooler can defend its place in a market full of competitors. In terms of price, AIO coolers from the Navis series are very attractive and offer an interesting price-performance ratio. This time it is the highest AIO model from SilentiumPC – Navis Evo ARGB 360. In today’s review, I would like to show you another all-in-one liquid cooler.
