Taken as a whole the EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 Lux D-RGB is an all-around very impressive cooler with outstanding thermal performance, great build quality and decent looks, it’s simple to install and control RGB lighting.
Our 5-year warranty is backed by design, hardware, and materials of recognizable EK quality, including premium-grade O-rings that ensure your Nucleus AIO remains leak-proof for its lifetime. There are no arrow symbols to guide the novice users in determining the direction of airflow and blades’ spin. Fast forward to the present and if you have looked into building a custom water-cooling loop, you likely would have also taken a long look at what EK has to offer.

the EK-AIO Basic 240 shows its true cooling potential as it is sitting on the top with a minimum of 2°C difference over the other coolers. EK Water Blocks (EKWB) has long been heralded for its innovation in the enthusiast-grade custom watercooling realm, including options tailored for the small liquid cooler market disguised as expandable closed loop systems like their Phoenix and Predator series. The 90-degree swivel fittings are trimmed with milled aluminum caps rather than the traditional crimp fittings or plastic collars. EK-Nucleus AIO Dark is a pitch-black non-RGB option for everyone who prefers their PC shrouded in darkness. It honestly feels very well built compared to other AIOs; it has more mass to the CPU block and pump unit than most, although likely due to the acrylic components used for the top (rather than lightweight plastic).
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. The EK AIO 360 is comparable to the Noctua NH-D15 for point-to-point deviations across the surface, with an overall higher average depth from 0.
EK Water Blocks has removed the digital lighting from the fans and the block resulting in all black cooler which will definitely come in handy for the neutral/stealth builds. The installation is an easy task and the comprehensive user guide is provided to help the users in installation. The Kraken X63 in our Intel HEDT bench testing didn’t make any thermal improvements in the pump, only in the fans, and so Asetek looks to be presently in a disadvantaged position versus newer 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 EK AIO CPU water block features a full acrylic cover, acting as a light diffuser with its frosted finish, for a dynamic lighting display with smooth colour transitions. I also observed during the testing of EK-AIO 240 D-RGB that the orientation of the backplate on the Intel LGA1200 socket was same as is on the Basic series coolers but it was not same for the LGA1151 socket. EK has developed the AIO 240 D-RGB to pair with its EK Loop Connect management system (sold separately), which provides fan curve control, pump performance, lighting control, data collection and temperature monitoring , via the EK Connect software suite. The CLC 360 did horribly relative to its size in the 35dBA test, although it does comparatively better at 40dBA in our Intel HEDT testing, but it does maintain a lead at its deafening 60. There are already cases when the software crashed and water temperature raised so much that the entire system leaked water directly onto users 2080ti!It boasts a glossy, gold-like nickel finish on the pump cover and fittings for those who want their PCs to sparkle. The top of the EK AIO 240 D-RGB features an opaque acrylic face garnished with a brushed-aluminum EK logo and backlit by a cluster of addressable RGB lighting nodes. Considering the performance of the 360 mm version, I expect solid performance from this 240 mm design as well. If you want a CPU cooler that delivers the best performance out there, EK's Nucleus CR360 will be a great choice.
EK-Nucleus AIO comes equipped with the latest EK-Loop FPT fans featuring a full-frame design for high static pressure, maximum airflow, and whisper-quiet operation. I was so impressed I bought another one and actually replaced my NZXT X73 which was in another rig cooling a 5900x. To briefly mention internals, we have a separate tear-down video coming up that’ll talk about how the EK AIO series works and how it’s assembled.The Elite Aurum is here and ready to provide ample cooling power even for the toughest processors on the market.
