Today we're looking at a all-in-one closed loop cooler from a face that's new to AnandTech: Geometric Future. Founded in 2020, Geometric Future is a PC components manufacturer with a goal of setting themselves apart in the crowded PC marketplace by redefining modern aesthetics. Their approach to design emphasizes the application of geometric elements and minimalist philosophy, as reflected in their slogan, "Simplify". They regard themselves as a potential future backbone in China's design industry, starting with a small step in the IT sector.

For such a new company, Geometric Future has already made significant strides in the realm of PC power and cooling products. One of their most notable products – and what we're reviewing today – is the Eskimo Junior 36, an all-in-one CPU liquid cooler available in 240mm and 360mm sizes. This cooler is designed with a minimalist aesthetic in mind, featuring a simplistic CPU block and equipped with high-performance Squama 2503 fans. Geometric Future pitches the Eskimo Junior 36 as being engineered to provide an optimal balance of cooling efficiency and aesthetics, making it able to achieve excellent cooling capabilities while maintaining low noise levels.

But marketing claims aside, we shall see where it stands in today’s highly competitive market in this review.

Packaging & Bundle

The company ships the Eskimo Junior 36 in a long and large cardboard box that hints at the dimensions of the cooler. A detailed render of the cooler itself decorates the front side of the yellow/white box, with nothing but the compatibility badges suggesting that the cooler features RGB lighting. Inside the box, the cooler is securely placed within custom-designed cardboard inserts, ensuring its protection during transit.

Geometric Future supplies only the essential parts required to use the cooler right out of the box, with no extra items or accessories supplied. The notable part here is that they provide mounting hardware for practically all currently available consumer CPU sockets, including TR4 for Threadripper 5000 processors.

The Geometric Future Eskimo Junior 36 AIO Liquid Cooler

At first glance, the Geometric Future Eskimo Junior 36 cooler familiarly aligns with the standard design of most 360 mm AIO coolers in the market. This cooler adheres to the typical AIO configuration, featuring a single radiator, two hoses, and a combined block that integrates a copper CPU contact plate with a compact liquid pump. Geometric Future employs black sleeved low-permeation rubber tubing, with an eye towards enhancing both flexibility and aesthetic quality. This design choice underscores Geometric Future's commitment to blending functional cooling solutions with a sleek and more sophisticated appearance.

The substantial radiator of the Geometric Future Eskimo Junior 36 cooler, measuring 397 mm in length, necessitates a case that can house three 120 mm fans in sequence, along with adequate room for the radiator's extra dimensions. This radiator, with a thickness of 27 mm, requires a total clearance of 55 mm when paired with fans to ensure correct installation in a system. Design-wise, it adheres to the prevalent dual pass cross-flow configuration, characterized by small fins soldered onto thin, oblong tubes. A distinctive feature of this cooler is the company logo, subtly etched across the sides of the radiator, but is nearly invisible and most likely only the yellow “O” will be visible inside a PC case.

The main block of the Geometric Future Eskimo Junior 36 AIO cooler is designed with a minimalist approach. It is a very smooth and clean solid block of metal with a high-gloss plastic top cover. 90° fittings accommodate both hoses on its side and two cables exit from the same area, one 4-pin power cable and one for the RGB lighting that can be attached either to the included controller or any other compatible RGB controller. The focus of the design appears to be on achieving a balance between functionality and a clean, understated appearance, in line with Geometric Future's overall design ethos.

At the bottom of the main block assembly, we can see an octagonal contact plate that is attached to the plastic base cover with eight screws. Its surface is not polished down to a mirror finish but is adequately smooth and flat. The contact plate is 55×55 mm, significantly smaller than the overall 78×78 mm size of the entire block but adequate for currently available CPU dies, with the exception of the Threadripper processors that need a contact surface that is at least 70 mm long. Despite that, the Eskimo Junior 36 will still work on a Threadripper processor, just not optimally.

The three 120 mm fans supplied with the Eskimo Junior 36 probably are the highlight of the entire kit. The power and RGB cables of the fans are short, featuring both a male and a female connector. This allows multiple fans to be connected in parallel to each other (daisy-chain) and only one extension wire can be used to connect all three fans to the power and to the RGB controller. They feature a fluid bearing engine and have a maximum speed of 2000 RPM. The highlight of these fans is their scale-like “Squama” rubber surface that allegedly improves performance and reduces aerodynamic noise levels. The company’s performance specifications for the fans appear a little overconfident, especially the extremely low dB(A) rating, which would suggest that the pump is actually louder than the fan(s) and, as we will also see in the following pages, that is most definitely not the case. These fans also feature RGB lighting, even though their all-black design conceals it even from trained PC builder eyes.

 

The RGB lighting of the Geometric Future Eskimo Junior 36 cooler is designed with subtlety in mind. It features a ring of RGB lighting around the top edge of the main block and on the fan frames. This design choice enhances the cooler's visual appeal without being overly conspicuous or detracting from its minimalist aesthetic. The RGB lighting on the Eskimo Junior 36 is a fine example of Geometric Future's commitment to combining functional performance with clean, sophisticated design elements.

    Using possibly charged terms to brand a product demonstrates a lack of research on the part of the company. EK, for years, named their water coolers "Supremacy" and the Europeans behind it failed to note the problematic ties that has to racism in the United States. They only recently rebranded, if I'm not mistaken (honestly its too deep into the PC industry for me to be bothered using a search engine to find out), but it is sometimes difficult for the Chinese to understand the cultural implications of brand choices just as much as western companies have oft caused brand errors by attempting to incorporate Asian themes in their own products.

    The term "offensive" is offensive. Why are you so intolerant of the millions who have died in offensive military campaigns throughout human history?
  • GhostOfAnand - Thursday, February 15, 2024 - link

    Yes, words don't denote anything, and terms don't connote anything. Congratulations on your *big* discovery. /s

    P.S. I have no interest to continue. Please reflect on what aspect of my initial comment triggered you and what that says about how you perceive the world and engage with those around you.

    For example, the former Czech Republic is now referred to Czechia in English, as is their wish. It sounds weird to me, but I respect them and so be it. Turkey is now Türkiye in English. Côte d'Ivoire is what the British used to call Ivory Coast, but their colonial French name is how they wish to be referred to in English. More recently India wants to be referred as Bharat in English from the Sanskrit.

    All this is just a small slice of human language, its interaction with human culture, and human psychology.

    Any good suggestions for the watercooler capable to withstand combined power 800-1500watts of future Turin SP5 socket processors and next generation videocards? Where are old convection cooling desighns without fans which turn our computers into wind turbins or bitcoin mining factories.
  • meacupla - Friday, February 9, 2024 - link

    Yeah, go full custom, and have at least 2x360 or 2x280 radiators, and use noctua sterrox fans.

    I think you are right if you are confident with your custom design but Linus Tech guy kind of discouraged me from doing that despite of his unlimited budget with that. He made one for Genoa and failed miserably as his cooler leaked water. I will try SilverStone XE360-SP5 cooler which looks very weak and if it will also fail to cool below 52C like fail all air coolers with such power constraints i will be forced to invent the bicycle myself. Thanks for pointing on Noctua sterrox fans

    52C is throttling temperature. Yes, as low as this. Any reference on good high power custom designs and the source of reliable parts for it?
  • meacupla - Sunday, February 11, 2024 - link

    You should go ask somewhere like Level1tech forums, where there is a larger base of EPYC users.

    [ just got aware of that most reviews for/with novelty hardware is about initial conditions review, but rare later reviews on long term durability or altered parameters (or e.g. MTBF/MTTF (MTTR or MTTA are less meaningful with this type of technical devices) verification) (?) ]
  • TheinsanegamerN - Wednesday, February 14, 2024 - link

    Linus also has lost two entire data racks and major backups because he doesn't know how modern server storage arrays work.

    In case its not spelled out, he's a bit of a derp. Take what LTT does with a morton factory of salt.
