Nice idea but that fan and the air cut outs in the water block won't be moving much air. Unless its running full tilt which would be loud in turn kind of defeating the point of water cooling. I would love to see more designs that take VRMs into consideration though. Hopefully I am wrong and its wonderful at lowering temps for VRMs (possibly to a lesser extent ram as the article points out).

small fans add noise and at very least increase prone failure rate.

If you look carefully at the images, it seems there are slits on all 4 sides of the plastic water block shroud. I'm guessing the fan is pushing air through those to cool down the motherboard components.

Oh I saw...I am concerned with their relative size to the air the fan can push. It looks elegant I just worry about functionality.

I think everyone else wants to know if ENERMAX finally fixed their ridiculously bad quality and design failures in their AIOs.

Anytime I hear the name "Enermax", all the images of brown sludge in AIOs instantly come to mind. Fair or not, I think I'm forever going to associate the name with that, and be wary of the brand. I know all brands screw up at some point, but that really stuck with me...

Gee, how original, no one else has VRM cooling fans on an AIO

curious why forum software always convert German sites into the German language versions.

Even a small amount of airflow will significantly increase the efficiency of the VRM and board cooling compared to "air is standing still". Now, to be fair to normal AIO's it's often possible to arrange this using just the normal (AIO & case) fans but it does reduce one worry. And they're not the first AIO to do this either.

Getting further improvement above what you get with "barely moving air" OTOH do require noticeable airflow which on a fan mounted like and that small likely would result in lot of noise, so I do hope they choose "air moves a bit" tuning of the fan rather than "screaming jet engine".

There's really no sane reason for it to need to move significant amount of airs, if the VRM is that outmatched by the power draw it shouldn't be used for that CPU.

Now, this is Enermax so I'd be a lot more concerned about the long-term reliability than anything else, I consider them a serial offender (in multiple ways!) on that front.
