How does the enermax liqmax iii 240 argb perform

I really care about how my system looks and performs while still being on a budget, and im torn between this one, the arctic lf ii 240 argb, the arctic lf ii 280, and the evga clc 280... I really need to start my elimination process if I want to get one anytime soon, so, does the enermax aio get anywhere near close to the arctic lf ii 240? (Im on ryzen 5000 so I can use the offset mounting as well probably, depending on if my aorus b450m will allow it). Probably, if it performs like 6 degrees off ill just cross it off my list.

I want to know what you got in the end. Sorry to necro but I am already having issues with the Enermax liqmax iii 240. The pump sounds fine but it does not work hard or fast enough to remove heat from CPU. I bought a Thermalright Frost Commander to replace it and as soon as I installed it my temps dramatically fell. I have a light OC on both CPUs I tried the AIO and the temps were total shit. Reaching well above 100c (4790k and 11600k) within seconds (XTU, Prime95, AIDA64). Using the same CPU settings for the 11600k with the Frost Commander, max temp it hits maybe 64-66c. I hope this isn't an issue with the gunk GN showed off.

It's how you set your pump and fan curve plus your airflow makes a big difference im using a higher end cpu with an enermax 120mm and my temps are great so look at how your pc is setup before knocking a good cooler

The artic is superior to the Enermax. Enermax makes shit products, you get what you pay for them. Avoid it at all costs.

Your wrong should know enermax has been around for a long time when it comes to cooling and I only use a 120mm aio from then on a high-end system and my temps are perfect at idle under 30c and stress testing 80c max gaming is like 40c and im a computer tech for decades I've always gone against these name brands most people recommend and guess what somehow I beat them but people swear they are the best.. sometimes cheaper can be better then more expensive why because your only paying for the look where cheaper your paying for the performance which is key to any pc....
