EK Water Blocks EK-AIO 120 D-RGB Komplett-Wasserkühlung - schwarz

Product Information

As usual with all-in-one CPU coolers, the EK-AIO includes a high-grade aluminium radiator featuring twelve coolant channels and a densely packed fin arrangement. With those minor nitpicks aside, it’s a solid beautiful product, just needs a little bit more improvement to be perfect.

The SPC style pump inside the EK-AIO is extremely quiet, even with the pump running at 100% RPM and with the system at idle, pump noise is barely audible. I think the paste application looks much better (but do note that I switched to the paste provided in the kit and it's more viscous / dry). Requiring just a single radiator mount, with diamond cut rotary fittings for easy tube adjustment, the EK AIO offers compatibility with almost all modern case designs.Today, we’re reviewing the EK AIO 360 and 240 closed-loop liquid coolers for thermals, noise, noise-normalized thermals, coldplate levelness, efficacy on Intel and AMD platforms, and more. This product requires enough space to mount a single slim 360mm radiator, making it compatible with almost all modern cases. The pump of the EKWB AIO Elite 360 D-RGB looks similar to previous versions of EK AIO models, although it brings a much more sophisticated approach by combining angled, mirrored finishes and dark, opaque acrylics.

With the motherboard prepared we can now lower the CPU block down over the CPU with the bracket holes aligned with the standoffs and place the springs in position.

To reflect current hardware demands, the KitGuru test bench comprises of an Intel Z390 platform and included is the Intel Core i9-9900k CPU, mated with a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master motherboard and 16GB (2x 8GB modules) Patriot Viper RGB RAM running at 3600mhz CL16. It has pre-set up bolstered and sleeved rubber tubing, every equipped with an aluminum cowl to make certain they’re ultra-durable. The base of the EK AIO Elite 360 is milled extremely flat; we are not able to see light peeking between our steel rule and the copper contact plate.

Drehzahl der Pumpe angepasst um auszuschließen das dieses Problem nur bei bestimmten Drehzahlen auftritt. Inside the packaging are three 120mm EK Vardar S addressable D-RGB fans, various pieces of mounting hardware for both mainstream Intel and AMD desktop platforms, an Intel platform-specific backplate, 3-way PWM fan splitter cable, an additional tube of thermal compound as well as a detailed installation manual printed in multiple languages. The tubing is covered with a nylon braided sleeving for a premium appearance and at the pump side of the tubing are articulating 90° fittings with diamond-cut aluminium covers.

I am running an i7 13700K with a 4090 GPU, so there is quite a bit of heat generated in my case, especially during the recent hot weather. This ease of use extends to its support of the latest Intel and AMD sockets, including the latest Intel LGA 1155/1156/2011 and AMD FM2 sockets, as well as AM4 for Ryzen but not Threadripper processors. lga1700 is 1mm shorter/lower than lga1200 and without the correct mounting pressure temps will be 15c higher or more.No one can deny that the original EK Predator expandable AIO had excellent thermal performance, but leaking CPU blocks due to faulty rubber O-rings blighted the Predator series before it really got going. Controlled by either your motherboard or standalone fan controller, the EK Vardar can be adjusted to run at speeds between 550 - 2200RPM for either high airflow or silent running. What’s also nice is the block comes with pre applied thermal paste and even a small tube of extra thermal paste for replacement later down the line. Can’t guarantee that the contact-frame and/or sanding the IHS will fix your issue, but it’s my best bet.

The EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 Dark is an all-in-one liquid cooling solution offering a pitch-black cooler without any RGB. Watching my temps compared to the other cooler I have been seeing a 5-10 degree difference so it definitely cools better and is way quieter than the kraken. I have now undervolted the CPU and the temps have fallen and the subsequent noise is hardly noticeable.Dynamic Addressable D-RGB lighting - Customize your EK AIO to match your set-up with its range of fully addressable D-RGB lighting effects. We will calculate the Delta temperature by deducting the ambient temperature in the test room from the measured CPU temperature, both at idle and under load. Um dann hinterher nach einer Wartezeit von 1 Monat nochmal nen Monat warten zu können um die Kosten für den Artikel und die Kosten für die Rücksendung erstattet zu bekommen. Often manufacturers supply a simple RGB lighting controller with their AIOs, but this is missing with the EK-AIO which is a shame and will increase the overall cost of the device for those having to purchase an RGB controller separately.
