Today we are dealing with a new branded product Gamdias: a high-level, top-of-the-range heatsink with a 360mm radiator.
His name is Chione P2 360R: an AIO (All in one) liquid cooler, with interesting performances and equipped with various features.
Let's go into more specifics.
Gamdias Chione P2 360R Review • Technical Specifications
Il Chione P2 360R is one of the latest models from home Gamdias: it stands out for its countless features and aesthetics that certainly cannot go unnoticed.
Both the waterblock that the fans of the radiator are equipped with technology LED RGB. Both can then be connected to the fan e LED controller supplied inside the package.
Il Chione P2 360R it's a all-in-one liquid cooler it is also equipped with remote control for remote lighting control.
The latter allows you to navigate between 55 lighting effects, 10 lighting speeds, 4 radiator fan speeds and 10 levels of light intensity.
Obviously it is allowed to install theRGB lighting hub also other LED strips or RGB fans. Everything will be synchronously controlled by remote control or software.
The system of operation of the LED RGB it is also associated with Asus' Aura Sync, Gigabyte's RGB Fusion, MSI's Mystic Light Sync and Asrock's Polychrome Sync systems.
Le 120mm fans included there are 3, enough for the entire radiator, the workmanship of the same is not excellent and although they still manage to do their job they give the impression of being economic models as well as noisy.
Le fans operate between 700 and 2000 RPM of speed. At maximum speed, the noise begins to be noticed especially in the quietest hours. There noisiness reported by the manufacturer is between 15-27dBA.
The material of which the waterblock and pump it is aluminum, even if the surface part with the LEDs is in plastic which is not particularly excellent.
The connection pipe to the radiator is in Teflon.
Gamdias Chione P2 360R Review • Box contents & assembly
The installation was certainly not the best of the experiences I have had in this sector over the years.
First of all, the choice not to include the paper instructions in the package left me perplexed: you can still get this information on the web simply by scanning the QR code placed on the back.
Le instructions however, they are really confusing and not well done. In addition, those on the web are in PDF format with a heavy weight that causes rather long loads to view the page.
Moreover, the fixing system is really very particular and I did not find it at all professional compared to the standards I am used to in my tests.
Also I could not properly fix the radiator to the case used as a test platform (Thermaltake Core P5) as the screws provided had too small a head to remain anchored to it and I had to find an alternative solution.
Un assembly certainly not among the simplest and an installation platform that does not particularly breach my heart, which has seen all kinds and kinds of heat sinks.
Inside the package are then provided:
- 3 ventole LED RGB 120mm
- AIO liquid cooler
- AEOLUS Box
- Remote controller
- Installation kit
Gamdias Chione P2 360R Review • Performance test
Despite some initial hiccups during the installation of the Gamdias all in one liquid cooler an easy testing situation was finally reached.
All tests performed at the same ambient temperature, on the same processor and with the same thermal paste.
You should expect a little more from a liquid cooler with 360mm radiator however the results are not particularly exciting.
Il Chione P2 360R he does his duty but without trying too hard. She manages to cool the CPU at temperatures where even some of the best air coolers juggle well.
A substantial improvement in performance could perhaps be achieved by replacing the supplied fans with higher-quality models.
But this would invalidate the aesthetic factor that focuses strongly on LED RGB, remote control for remote control and hub for led strips and fans.
Review Gamdias Chione P2 360R • Conclusion
Basically the Chione P2 360R di Gamdias it's a liquid heatsink with 360 mm radiator of length that does not leave a deep enough memory neither from the performance point of view nor from that of ease of use.
Uncomfortable to assemble, certainly interesting from an aesthetic point of view thanks to the countless plays of light and average performance.
The implementation of the lights and its management is certainly excellent, however I would like to say that it would be more appropriate to first optimize the user experience and then focus on aesthetics.
The quality of the fans is quite low, but good for the radiator, pipes and waterblock (except for the low-level plastic facade).
The quality / price ratio is also not a plus for this article that challenges the competition without making discounts on the price tag.
