Product Information

We’ve normalized the noise levels to 35dBA at 20” distance, creating an equal playing field to test the efficiency of the pumps, fans, and radiators without permitting the fans to just brute force performance at the expense of noise. Use of these and any missed payments may affect your ability to obtain credit from Klarna and other lenders. The EK Nucleus CPU block features a toolless mounting mechanism, making installation of the custom copper cold plate super-easy, even for liquid cooling beginners.

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. These were there on the D-RGB version to access the RGB strip on the block and replace it with your own. EK mostly tries to leverage its open loop competence in marketing its CLC, appealing to authority in one space to try and establish a foothold in a newer one. 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.MSI is using Smart Fan mode in the UEFI/BIOS which is not pure Auto PWM but it is what is available to us.

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.

The 90-degree swivel fittings are trimmed with milled aluminum caps rather than the traditional crimp fittings or plastic collars. 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. It offers all the water cooling benefits in a compact, easy to install, and maintenance-free design.
