As of November 2023 there is not a better AIO on the market. I just upgraded to this 240mm AIO from one that was only 4 years old and I'm seeing 10-15c improvement at full load. Fantastic!
The packaging an instructions are indeed impeccable - I chose a Nucleus for my first attempt at an AIO and installing it was very easy, even for a total beginner like me. 100% recommendation!
My god that Dark aio is a beauty.
I bought the 360 Variant. Let me tell you, its the best AIO I have ever used. Using mine on the 13900KS overclocked and still has cooling room to spare. The thing is a beast! Best product on my PC as I was stressing the most about cooling. Worth every penny and its priced better than some of the other big companies flagship AIO's. Silent in operation, glad this was my first EK product I have purchased, when I have the courage I will be water cooling everything with EK.
could you provide some numbers please? degree C under all core load / gaming? thank you
@@KPAki1Ler I'm also curious. The 13900k destroys every AIO under 100% load like cinebench unless you undervolt. Idle and gaming temps can be managed with most 360/420 AIO.
@@elliotserrano7333 I've bought this AIO for my 13900k build I just put together. I'll get back to you soon!
Update.
13900K stock + no power limit pulled 320watts on all core Cinebench test with the 360mm CR360 Dark cooler max package temp of 92c average / cyberpunk 60c/ skyrim SE 45c
I highly recommend EK products not only because they give better performance but also the customer service is great. I recently had interaction with EK customer service and they really made me amazed by their support.
EKWB has been my preferred liquid cooling solution for over 10 years. Keep up the great work!
As I can only give one thumbs up. What a great unboxing experience I have had with my Nucleas CR240 Dark. The packaging itself is really nice and the manual is handy (though I did watch this video first) I bolted it on a 3600X which now runs in full boost with ease not passing 60 degree C. Great and easy experience for a very cool PC.
I just built a PC for my bro-in-law with an i9 and a 4090. Used your AIO Nucleus 360. kept it pretty cool in timespy.
I want to suggest a minor change: Make it more clear in what order you should mount the cooling unit/pump. I went springs, pump and thumbscrews and it (ofc) didn’t make contact with the cpu. If the pictures were a bit more clear I wouldn’t have made that mistake. Otherwise I loved the packaging, the overall performance of the cooler and the rest of the instructions. Thanks EK!
? what are you even talking about. Just follow the instructions and mount the damn thing. It's a cpu cooler... ofcourse its gonna make contact with the cpu..
@@turbompson4546 Lol get laid.
I have one of these AIOs in 360mm and it is by far the best I've ever used from a performance and aesthetic perspective.
However, I wish you guys hadn't used one-way flat-head screws on the cold plate so that it was *actually* user-serviceable once the warranty runs out.
Using those types of screws is borderline hostile to those of us DIYers who want to keep our hardware running for as long as possible.
【Sunglasses Pirates】Thank you Matiz, even with your help and the manual + previous experience with installing water cooler i had instead of 10 minutes spent atleast couple hours on this project. I really can't say how i possibly could use so much time on this project, atleast i was frantic about the instuctions and multiple times put the fans on wrong side of the radiator or facing wrong way but most of all i was just slow. I wonder how slow i would have gone without your instructions, i think i would have reached bullet time and got instructions for Morpheus - Matrix reference / as a finnish i add Max Payne reference since Remedy Studios is from Finnidh & the game was first to use bullet time
Is it normal to have a smell?
I have been observing this for some time now
I've had one of these for a bit and I've been loving it but I've noticed an occasional gurgle like sound that can come from it every couple hours or so. I'm assuming these are just air bubbles and it has a bit of a gurgle on startup too which i am also am just assuming is the water starting to flow. Is this all just some harmless air bubbles and can I do anything about it?
I did come here to figure out which side of the backplate should be facing the motherboard. There was no mention on that in manual and you didn't mention that in the video, I see the plastic side, which was my first guess. Wait am I supposed to remove the plastic part? This is confusing.
That's awesome,I wish I could use mine though,I've ordered it from ek rs on January 23.,payment was accepted,and no response since than. I waited for 1-3 work days for order to be processed (as stated in terms),and another 3 work days for delivery (as stated in terms),and received no update on order. Wrote and email yesterday to support,I hope I get a response in 5 work days....
Best AIO for ease of installation, performance and noise.
Excellent aio definitely needs a LCD display version of this
I just bought my second ek 360 aio going to try this LUX on 14900 and see if it’s better then my elite 360 aio 😊
I got ek nucleous 360, but lga 1700 screws are missing.... is there any universal mount kit for this? can't find replacement parts yet...
I am brand new to aios. I’ve always been an air cooled guy. But my new Ryzen 7000 series cpu runs so hot that my Noctua just can’t hold up under load during the summer. I will be honest, I went as far as having the Arctic Liquid Freeze II in my cart, close to checking out, then I saw the Jaystwocents video about your aio and it won me over. But even Jay said that the retail versions most likely wouldnt contain the immaculate packaging. Imagine my surprise when I started watching install videos between this and the Arctic aio and saw that very same immaculate packaging comes in the retail box. I quickly went back to my cart and removed the Arctic aio and immediately bought the EK Nucleus CR240 Lux D-RGB.
I will say watching the gamers nexus breakdown video of the aio has left me concerned about gunk in the line, but not so concerned that i would even consider another aio.
Wouldn't it be even better to have the pump tubes on the very bottom of the pump, rather on the right side?
How to install 280mm and/or Vision versions:
Step 1: 😭
Hi EK Team,
why don't we have a 420 version? Or do you think it's obsolete?
I just bought the 360 rgb version of this but I really wanted the one with the lcd screen but its nowhere to be found.
Would love to see the aurum in 240 version
Thx for great video, in manual for this aio, it says STEP A: Plug the 4-pin PWM connector from the pump to the motherboard, i have a dedicated aio pump header on board, do i put the cable there ? and then the radiator fans to the cpu fan header, i think this is right, just want confirmation, thx
When are the vision 360 aios coming back?
I was going to ask the same thing. In fact I will so ekwb will see more of us that are waiting for it
So I have this model on my Asus X570 and have placed the 4pin wire from the pump to the CPU_OPT, next to my CPU_FAN where the daisy chain of the AIO fans are connected to. From BIOS, am I to place CPU_OPT speed to 100% to make the pump run full speed always?
What is the pc case used in the vedieo?
Hi,
Will the 240 fit in a FORDM T1 V2 on a Asus B650E-I itx ? VGA will be a RTX 4080FE.
Will there ever be a 280 variant?
My CR360 with AMD 7800 X3D goes all the time with the fans up and down it's annoying
Is tbe vision version ever coming?
No 280mm models tho...
Hey guys. I know it's kind of out there... like a lot... but would there be a way to make msi x ek x670e monoblock collab work with a delidded die?
I'd assume not, but it's worth a shot.
Your monoblock won't have the contact with the die(s) as the monoblock was made for CPUs with IHS intact. While we do not have a direct die option for the AM5 platform yet, that will change in the future ;)
@@EKWBofficial sounds great. If it happened to be a direct die monoblock... I know, extremely niche, it'd be most appreciated.
Thank you for the reply.
User manual goes weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Will the 360 version fit the asus ap201 case?
Pc part picker
i just installed the Nucleus 360mm in my rig and get all the way to final moments to realize my motherboard doesnt have DRGB connector...i have the Asrock z270 Taichi, all it has is a 4 pin for the Aura RGB , is there any solution for this or am i stuck without RGB?
I've looked up some reddit threads and most of them say drgb and argb are the same, but you might need an adapter cable if the drgb doesn't use the same connector
i believe the difference is the voltage, and also the pins maybe, but i got an adapter for like 15 from amazon, everythings fine now, very quiet unit, im pretty happy but i liked having a fancy digital display on the pump with my previous AIO@@JustCarnivorousCupcake
@@bad_at_accuracy_ Awesome! Glad you could make it work :)
You got a screen? Dose that need a different header I just bought the normal one used pc part picker and said everything is fine so hopefully it's good
"A non-abrasive cloth or q-tip" ...proceeds to use finger.
The pump is way too thick. The best thing about the previous EK basic was it was a slim pump height which meant you could use it for ITX builds such a shame.
Love the wording on the
"Better than an arctic breeze". It's almost like a stab at the arctic fanboys that litter the internet. Too bad lol, the EK Nucleus is better. On paper, and in real-world performance. Cope arctic 😊
Maybe step up your quality control. It's non existent... And has been for the last few years.
I use your 6900xt GPU block, and if I didn't take it apart before installing, I would have fried everything because multiple screws were already stripped...
Maybe get this under control before trying to launch a how-to RUclips channel?
