Packaging and Accessories
The box for the LIQMAXFLO 360 has red trim on the top and bottom of the top of the front of the box with the rest in black. They have the LIQMAXFLO branding in the largest font and with the cooler size just below that. The Enermax logo is up in the top left corner and they have badges in the top right that show that the cooler works with both the AM5 socket and LGA 17000 Sockets from Intel. The rest of the front has a picture of the cooler with all three fans on the radiator and the fan on top spinning and lit rendered with RGB lighting to show the potential lighting. The back of the box has a specification listing on the left and a few detailed pictures of the cooler. One picture has all of the components pulled apart for the pump and waterblock including the fan on top, a second picture shows how that fan pulls air and blows out the sides to cool VRM heatsinks and your memory. They also highlight the thicker radiator design. The end of the box has a line drawing that shows all of the radiator and pump dimensions and has all of the icons showing the software that can control the RGB on the cooler. Overall Enermax does a great job of showing you pictures of what you are getting and giving you all of the information you might need if you were shopping in a store, no googling needed.
The top/front of the box lifts up and opens up and right up on top you will find the instructions so you can dive into those before anything else. Under that and on top of everything else you have a layer of foam. Then inside is a formed cardboard tray that has a spot for each component keeping everything safe. Each thing comes in a plastic bag and the radiator also has a cardboard cover on it as well to avoid damage.
The manual is all black and white and each page has line drawings. Where most companies will have a section for AMD and then one for Intel Enermax starts the first page with the first step for both and walks you through step by step then the bottom half of each page has instructions across 13 different languages so everything is covered.
For accessories, you get two bags. One bag has the RGB controller and the cables for that, the other bag is a lot larger and has everything else inside. That larger bag has both the AMD and Intel pump brackets as well as the backplate for Intel use. You have two cables, one has the proprietary fan connection and hooks into your PWM fan plug as well as an addressable RGB plug. That cable also has an output for the pump connection as well. The second cable is a SATA power to fan connection if you want the fans running at full speed. The small baggies split up the mounting components and they all have their use printed on them. There are bags for Intel and AMD use as well as Intel’s larger sockets. There is a bag with black screws for mounting the fans to the radiator as well as the radiator to your case. Then one universal bagie which has the spring-loaded mounting nuts and the older Intel socket hardware as well. Last up there are three hose clips/combs. These clip onto the water lines and keep them spaced out perfectly.
I didn’t find this until I was pulling the whole cooler out because it was buried down below everything but there was a third bag of accessories included with the LIQMAXFLO 360 and this is the most interesting of them all. This one is labeled as a maintenance kit and it comes with a few things. There is a 24-pin plug that will jumpstart your PC without putting power to the motherboard. I’ve used these with custom water cooling in the past but I like that this also has a fan plug coming off of it so you can plug the pump in. There is thermal paste and then a bottle of coolant. The bottle has a pointed tip to make it easy to top off the coolant level in the LIQMAXFLO 360 radiator. A lot of AIO coolers eventually lose enough coolant to get a big air bubble and cause pumps to fail as well as performance issues, it's great to see Enermax acknowledging that and including the tools to help prevent it in the future.
