This EK-AIO comes with a universally compatible CPU water block, along with a pre-filled pump-reservoir combo. The springs mean no concern about mounting pressure is needed -- you just tighten within reason until sufficient resistance is provided, then stop.

Complimenting it is a small syringe of EK-TIM Ectotherm compound also included in the event the cooler needs to be reinstalled. To top everything off, EK is also introducing the unapologetic, attention-seeking EK-AIO Elite Aurum 360 D-RGB. We test and review the EK AIO 240 D-RGB, an all-in-one liquid cooling kit from EK that can be bought in a dandy design with versions running up-to a 360mm rad.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. With a pump and radiator shipped pressure tested, it is pre-filled and sealed directly from the factory to provide maintenance-free operation for years. The CPU block already comes with applied EK thermal paste and several different backplates for a wide range of compatibility with the latest CPU sockets. EK ships its new AIO 240 D-RGB cooler with mounting hardware for limited CPU sockets, focusing primarily on AMD’s AM4 Ryzen processors and Intel’s mainstream 115x desktop line as well as the 2066/2011x. Note that this chart becomes irrelevant if you mount your EK AIO in the front, as you’d be relying on case fans, at that point.

Ocuk Limited trading as Overclockers UK is a credit broker, not a lender, and is Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Built into both its CPU block and Vardar S fans, the EK AIO offers a range of color configurations controlled from either your motherboard or standalone RGB controller. I would recommend this product for anyone looking to get an AIO, it's brilliant value and I would rate much higher than Corsair, NZXT and others.This next test is noise-normalized at 40dBA on an Intel HEDT CPU, our 3-year-old test bench, and is compared against more coolers. 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.
