I'd like to see the same tests done again with ONLY the front three fans installed, to compare the difference. Currently, the EK-AIO is available in three sizes ranging from a single 120mm fan version up to a flagship triple fan 360mm variant, with a 240mm radiator model sat in between the two. Ek could have prevented that putting a flat clearance slot on the waterblock fitting closet to the ram. The reflective EK logo provides the only aRGB lighting accent on the pump housing, taking a ‘less-is-more’ approach on lighting accents. So you might need to change your intel backplate to use this cooler depending on the model of intel you have.

After reading multiple independent reviews (and especially trusting the GN ones) I decide to purchase an EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB, thinking it might be a great update to help cool these latest generations of power-hungry Intel CPUs. Then flip the motherboard back over and install the Intel specific standoffs, which are the longer of the two types. 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.The most important feature of a CPU cooler is its thermal performance with noise levels coming a close second. EK-Vardar S is our first choice for radiator cooling, providing unmatched cooling performance, with fully integrated and customizable D-RGB lighting. I really tried to make it work, spending 4 days on different setups and diagnosing potential problems.

For the first step of the installation, place the three fans on the radiator in your preferred push or pull airflow configuration and using the twelve long black fans screws, tighten the fans down to the radiator using a Philips screwdriver until they are firmly fixed in position. 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. Dynamic Addressable D-RGB lighting - Customize your EK AIO to match your set-up with its range of fully addressable D-RGB lighting effects. The 360 is the best performing 360mm AIO we have tested to date and the 240 continues to record a very respectable load temperature. EK (or EKWB if you prefer) is widely respected by the PC enthusiast community for being one of the best providers of custom loop cooling solutions around.These industrial-grade excessive-static PWM lovers are designed and constructed on the whole for excessive-overall performance liquid cooling systems. These AIO units will slowly become available and carry an MSRP with VAT included at roughly 190 for the 360 version, gets 5 Years Limited International Warranty, and no less than six aRGB Vardar Silent fans as well as an extensive RGB/FAN Hub. Compatible with most modern processors, it is also ready for the next-gen Intel socket and AMD socket AM5.

AIO Systeme anderer Hersteller sind teilweise mehr wie 4 Jahre im Einsatz und laufen immenoch wie am ersten Tag zudem sind diese um einiges günstiger.My radiator does get warm across the whole thing, not just the tube, so sounds like something is blocking the radiator (might also explain the louder noise). Also, it would appear the Corsair cold-plate is more convex than the EK cold-plate, which is why you’re getting much better contact on the middle. Dynamic Addressable D-RGB lighting – Customize your EK AIO to match your set-up with its range of fully addressable D-RGB lighting effects. EKWB, the Slovenian company which specializes in custom watercooling components and kits, has expanded into the closed-loop AIO market, with the six-fan, push+pull EK AIO Elite 360 D-RGB being the latest addition to its AIO line.
