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…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • The list goes on.

I hate giving that 1 star.

I really wanted this AIO, I really wanted this. EK/EKWB - The water-cooled Rolls Royce is finally catching on in the AIO. I used to use nothing but EKWB when I was a young stud who loved overclocking his computer and playing COD all night. Now I'm in a fanny pack wearing new shoes to compensate. Dad uses his computer to distract himself from his kids screaming across two rooms. Anyway, if that bad boy was maybe a day, I went downstairs and heard an uncomfortable crunch. I suspect that in my…

Cons
  • Big and bulky

Installed ek360 aio on my 5800x with x570. With Deepcool Assassin 3 air cooler I got 73c under load but with ek 360 aio I got 64c under load. That's 9 cents difference! I replaced the stock thermal paste with a Kryonaut thermal paste and under load the temperature dropped even further to 58 degrees. Switching from the stock premium air cooler paste to the 360 aio paste and the thermal grizzly dropped my temp by 15 degrees! I liked the Assassin 3 and it wasn't a bad product but I just wanted…

Premium content at an affordable price and NO SOFTWARE!

This cooler screams quality, right down to every screw and spring, which is a good thing, since they some have defects. I have two installed, one on a strix b-450 and one on an aorus x-470, and the ports on the water block stick out far enough to cause my piston to flex severely when installed in the intended orientation. I have elite ballistic ram on both, which is pretty damn flimsy. Another thing is hoses, which in principle do not bend. I was able to twist the hoses on the fitting, which…
