About this deal

Both AIO Basic and Elite Aurum made their video debuts at the EK EXPO Media Day, and you can see them in the immersive 360 Showroom. Place the backplate on the backside of the motherboard on the socket area by aligning the holes on the socket with the backplate holes.

EK’s solution is simple: Two plates are attached to the pump block with four screws, so we’re at 6 parts that should probably be pre-installed for one of the two brands, but that’s not offensive. The series is equipped with a high-density water microchannel and copper finish block to offer efficient thermal conduction along with a proper radiator to maximize cooling performance. The EK-AIO Elite Aurum 360 D-RGB, EK-AIO Basic 240, and EK-AIO Basic 360 are all designed in Slovenia, Europe, and made in China. Available in black and white, EK-Nucleus AIO Lux features fully customizable (addressable) D-RGB lighting, creating a tunnel light effect on the pump cover. This helps standardize the mounting force and, therefore, the performance, but also reduces risk of users over-tightening, as can happen on Asetek products.The springs mean no concern about mounting pressure is needed -- you just tighten within reason until sufficient resistance is provided, then stop.

This mostly demonstrates the ability of liquid coolers to better soak large load spikes, offering the potential to keep thermally-dependent clocks -- like those operated under Precision Boost 2 or TVB -- at higher levels for longer.Problam with finding reviews might be that review sites usually don't change their test systems that often. This is in-house design from EK Water Blocks and features 2x EK-Vardar S 120 Dark Edition high performance fans.

EKWB is an enthusiast favorite and water-cooling juggernaut that started as just one man's simple idea.

This EK AIO comes with a universally compatible CPU water-block, along with a pre-filled pump-reservoir combo.

The second EK-AIO product making its debut is the Special Edition EK-AIO Elite Aurum – a golden variant of the popular EK-AIO Elite. Power your growth with our premium liquid cooling solution that offers unprecedented performance and reliability. With our AIOs, ensuring ultra-low temperatures, even during the most intense gaming sessions, has never been easier! The EK AIO 240 D-RGB base is also a dense acrylic, which has milled channels for mounting brackets on either side of the satin-finished copper cold plate.

That said, the over/under placement of the 90-degree ports can lead to awkward tubing manipulation that isn’t seen as often in coolers using the side-by-side swivel fitting layout. Visually, EK-AIO Basic is minimalistic with a black brushed aluminum-like pump cover and black fans. Squeezing every last drop of performance from your CPU ensures the best gaming experience, but it also generates much excess heat, disrupting the said experience.

Competition is fierce for CPU coolers right now, with Arctic’s Liquid Freezer II, which we reviewed here, posing the biggest challenge for EK. The EK cooler is now the chart-topper and holds a technical victory over the rest of what we’ve tested thus far on AMD, so we’ll need to turn to our Intel HEDT bench soon to look at 3 years of CLC data. The 90-degree swivel fittings are trimmed with milled aluminum caps rather than the traditional crimp fittings or plastic collars. EK-Vardar S is EKWB's first choice for radiator cooling, providing unmatched cooling performance, with fully integrated and customizable D-RGB lighting.
