Product Information

Throughout testing, Load Line Calibration will be set to level 6 (turbo) in BIOS and all CPU Fans/pumps set to maximum RPM. After that I switched to the default (LGA115x) Intel backplate since my motherboard has wholes for both and this allowed to mount the EK AIO cooler and the Corsair one back-to-back (using for the EK mounting hardware for both of them). The build quality of the EK-AIO seems to be of a very high standard, although only time will tell if our impressions are correct.

Ultra-durable design with diamond-cut rotary fittings – The EK AIO comes pre-installed with reinforced and sleeved rubber tubing, each fitted with an aluminum cover to ensure they’re ultra-durable.Fast forward to the present and if you have looked into building a custom water-cooling loop, you likely without fail would have also taken a long look at what EK has to offer.

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. 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. That said, before singing any praises, it might be prudent to take a closer look at our testing of the new EK 360 mm AIO. Naturally the 360mm version records the best result, however, the thermal performance of both is very impressive. EK has used standard fan and RGB connections so there are no additional fan hubs or RGB controllers to install which means cable management is simplified, something which we really like.EK-Vardar High-Performance Fans – The EK-Vardar S included with the EK AIO are industrial grade high-static PWM fans, designed and built primarily for high-performance liquid cooling systems. I have used Arctic 360mm and 420mm on 12900k,ks/kf and 13900k and when set up correctly they work fine. With that being said, the radiator is cool to the touch (even when the CPU TTs at 100 degrees Celsius) so it could be an issue with the heat transfer. The reflective EK logo provides the only aRGB lighting accent on the pump housing, taking a ‘less-is-more’ approach on lighting accents. Competition is fierce for CPU coolers right now, with Arctic’s Liquid Freezer II, which we reviewed here, posing the biggest challenge for EK.

To reduce cable clutter and the number of headers that need to be utilized on the motherboard or fan controller, EK-Loop FPT fans allow daisy-chaining. 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. Schwere Enttäuschung und Hohe Kosten für nicht zu gebraucheden Artikel mit schlechter Qualitätskontrolle. That means it’s probably more accurate, or at least less likely to talk about how it uses biomimetics and the silhouette of a spider to improve performance, or something. Unlike most liquid coolers on the market, which are based on either Asetek or Coolit designs, among others, the EK-AIO 360 D-RGB is a custom in-house solution.This means that additional clearance is necessary inside cases, so plan to account for that extra inch or 25mm of fan thickness.
