Review on πŸ’¦ EK 280mm AIO D-RGB Liquid Cooler: High-Performance CPU Cooling Solution with EK-Vardar PMW Fans, Water Cooling Computer Parts, Intel/AMD Compatibility by Kyle Omaha

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Outstanding performance and aesthetics

Pros: The AIO is great and my CPU temps have been fantastic (working at a locked 10600K). Cons: The connection point for the hose sticks out quite a bit, so your ability to center the block may be limited. This isn't a big issue, but should be considered on motherboards with large heatsinks that can take up space. I also noticed a slight hum coming from the pump. Low enough for me to tweak, but it's there. In general I am very satisfied with the product. You can't go wrong when temperature and aesthetics are important. Just wanted to share some minor imperfections I found in case this poses an issue for a potential buyer. Please note that in my photos I have replaced the built-in fans with a finished product, but that was purely an aesthetic decision. The fans worked great during installation and I had no complaints.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • The list goes on.
