As a well-established power supply manufacturer in China, Huntkey has expanded its business to various types of PC hardware in recent years. Like many friends, recently Hangjia began to exert efforts on the integrated water-cooled radiator, and previously released the MVP Poseidon series, including the MVP Poseidon X360 and MVP Poseidon X240 two products, which are also the two specifications that are most concerned in the current integrated water-cooled radiator market. Recently, Hangjia has released the GX series of great white shark integrated water-cooled radiators, which also include 360 cold row and 240 cold row products. The difference is that this time the new product adopts a white appearance.
With the increase in the thermal requirements of Intel and AMD's new generation of processors, consumers now have higher requirements for integrated water-cooled heat sinks, and not only stay in thermal performance, but also appearance, lighting effects, noise and installation and other solutions. Most of Hangjia's products are for mainstream consumers, generally providing good performance and quality, and the price will be more affordable, which will be more representative for ordinary users.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > appearance and packaging: concise and white throughout</h1>
Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark integrated water-cooled radiator outer packaging uses white and gradient gray-purple with colorful elements, the front and back sides are white, on the one hand, highlighting its white characteristics, on the other hand, pointing out that the radiator with RGB lighting effect. The front has a clear and complete product display, and the name is clear at a glance. On the back is a brief introduction to the product, as well as some related product parameters, very clear and clear.
Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark Integrated Water Cooling Radiator complete set of accessories, including cold drain and water cooling head, three 120mm ARGB cooling fans, Intel and AMD platform fasteners, a variety of power supply and control cables, various screws required for installation, silicone grease, installation manual and warranty card. In the packaging, Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark has actually installed the cooling fan, which reduces an operation step for many users, which is commendable.
As a 360 cold row, the body of this radiator of Hangjia is relatively small, the shape design is also very concise, the overall is relatively regular, and there is no bump.
The exterior of the water-cooled head looks very white, the top is acrylic mirror, the overall design is also very simple, there is no complicated wire, whether for wiring or installation, it will theoretically be simpler. Its interior adopts an upgraded version of the split chamber design, the copper low shovel tooth spacing is dense to 0.15mm, and the heat absorption area is increased by 25% to reduce turbulence noise and performance loss, and improve heat dissipation efficiency.
The cold drain uses pps water-passing components and large area V-type heat dissipation fins to form a high-density E-shaped arrangement to improve circulation efficiency and thermal contact area. In addition, the high-pressure fastening interface is tightly connected, and the outer part of the catheter is wrapped in a high-density braided mesh to reduce evaporation rate and corrosion and antioxidant resistance, which can effectively prevent leakage and improve the reliability of the entire heat dissipation system.
The heatsink backplane base, as well as the corresponding clips of Intel and AMD, allow users to choose according to the platform they use.
Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark is equipped with three high-volume RGB static lighting effect PWM silent fans, and the water cooling head and the cooling fan light effect are uniformly designed, which will be more coordinated, but the motherboard synchronization is not supported. Its four corners of the 8 anti-shock pads can effectively dampen shocks and reduce noise. According to the official data, the noise of the fan should not be large.
Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark full form, from the water cooling head, cold drain, fan to the catheter, the whole is white.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > installation experience: Installation requires some skill</h1>
Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark does not look complicated in installation, its overall shape is concise, leaving a lot of maneuverable space, wiring is also very simple, but the real operation will find that the fixing of the water cooling head is not easy. Because the column with spring is not directly fixed to the water-cooled head bracket, but separated, and there is no column, the installation needs to be tightened at the same time on the nut mouth of the positive bracket and the base, this process is easy to cause the water-cooled head position to deviate, I believe that it is a little difficult for users who usually have less hands to install the radiator.
If the design of the column and the nut is separated, it is believed to be easier to install. In addition, the direction of the Hangjia logo on the water-cooled head is fixed and cannot be rotated. In order to ensure that the Hangjia sign is in the correct position in the direction, water cooling has some restrictions on the installation.
After the Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark is turned on, the acrylic mirror and metal painted shell on the top of the water-cooled head have a good effect, and the color of the RGB light is also more comfortable. However, because it does not support motherboard synchronization, it limits the user's settings on the lighting effect, and there is no room for maneuver. Although the Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark focuses on cost performance, the lack of synchronization function is still a bit of a pity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > test and description</h1>
The radiator performance test uses our customized test platform to better obtain consistency and facilitate the comparison of various types of radiator performance. In our test model, after a period of simulation testing, it is finally determined that according to the positioning of the heatsink itself, the heat dissipation capacity under the limit load (300W, simulating the power consumption of the enthusiast-level player CPU), the high load (250W, simulating the power consumption of the high-end CPU) and the medium load (200W, simulating the power consumption of the mid-range CPU) are tested, and the lower heat sink only tests the ability under the load, and the higher positioning will test the ability under high load and limit load. The reader can directly measure the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator from the temperature of the model under each load platform (the temperature has been converted to the temperature when the ambient temperature is 25 degrees by calculating the thermal resistance), the lower the temperature under the load, the better the heat dissipation performance, and this temperature is similar to the temperature of the cpu under the same power consumption under the heat sink, which can be used as a reference for the actual machine temperature.
When testing, the fan of the radiator is running at full speed, and we sometimes test the performance at low speeds as needed for reference.
In order to better compare the heat dissipation, we also convert the heat dissipation performance index of the radiator into a super energy index:
Exp = 19 * Pd/(Tc – Ta)
This super energy index is actually a simple conversion of the thermal resistance of the heat sink, where Pd refers to the load power consumption, Tc refers to the temperature of the above model at the ambient temperature of 25 degrees, Ta refers to the ambient temperature (set to 25 degrees), the larger the Exp, indicating that the heat dissipation performance of the radiator is better. For example, the temperature of the owl D15 air-cooled radiator at 250W is 92.2 degrees, and its super energy index Exp = 19 *250/(92.2-25) = 70.7, under each power consumption, the heatsink thermal resistance of the same condition is basically the same, so this super energy index is also a fixed value, it can be approximated that for every 1 point of the super energy index, the cooling effect on the 300W CPU is better than 1 °C.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > Thermal Test: Meet Mainstream Demand</h1>
In the heat dissipation test, the overall performance of the Hangjia GX360S great white shark was decent. Its thermal performance can well meet the mainstream configuration needs of Intel and AMD, which is enough for the average user, and the target group of GX360S Great White Shark is not a user who pursues the ultimate heat dissipation effect.
In fact, even the ordinary 360 water cooling will have a more obvious advantage over most 240 water cooling in terms of heat dissipation. For example, Weigang's XPG L240 ARGB is a high-end 240 water cooling, the price is higher than the Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark, but from the perspective of heat dissipation effect, 360 water cooling has better cooling performance, which can better adapt to the heat dissipation needs of Intel and AMD's new generation of high-end platforms.
According to the test data, after converting to the super energy index, the Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark scored 76.5, which is a water-cooled radiator of the ordinary level.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="26" > noise test: slightly noisy on standby</h1>
The test was carried out in the chassis, no chassis fan was used, the AIDA64 FPU was running stably at full load, the cooling fan was running at full speed, the ambient noise was 34.8 db(A), and the test was 50cm away from the chassis.
Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark performed better in the noise test, and the overall noise was not obvious. There will be some noise when waiting, the main pump noise is slightly larger, but the sound is not very loud when the water is cooled at full speed. The noise test can only be used as a reference, and the user's use environment is related to the chassis style.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" > Summary: A white affordable choice for the mainstream</h1>
In the future, Intel and AMD processors will have higher standards in thermal requirements, and more ordinary users will be exposed to integrated water-cooled heatsinks. At present, more and more manufacturers are entering this market, making the competition in the one-piece water-cooled radiator market more intense, and it is not easy to occupy a place. Most of Hangjia's products are aimed at mainstream users, and while meeting the needs of this part of the group, they still maintain relatively low prices. When water cooling and heat dissipation become more popular, this part of the market will occupy a considerable proportion. Although Hangjia has been operating in the DIY market for many years, it is still a novice in the integrated water-cooled radiator market, and its products are constantly groping forward.
Hangjia GX360S great white shark according to its positioning is a qualified product, in the appearance of the design, Hangjia also spent a lot of thought, so that this water cooling looks quite bright, while the heat dissipation performance can also meet the needs of mainstream users. Compared with the MVP Poseidon X360 a few months ago, Hangjia GX360S Great White Shark has improved slightly in some product details, making the product improve in texture, which is gratifying. However, if you want to find the right positioning in the integrated water-cooled radiator market, you need to further polish, I believe that Hangjia has the ability to do this.
