EK Water Blocks puts in the AiO cooling area again. The EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB will be the new top Model among the AiO cooling systems from the Slovenian water cooling specialist. It is upgraded in several ways – primarily through a push-pull configuration with six fans. But how does it compare to the competition?
EK Water Blocks is actually known for its self-made water cooling. But the company has decided to also offer products for users who shy away from the construction and maintenance of such a DIY water cooling system. With EK-AIO 120 D-RGB , EK-AIO 240 D-RGB and EK-AIO 360 D-RGB was already a trio of closed and maintenance-free AiO- Brought cooling systems on the market, which are quite serious alternatives to the products of other suppliers. As a fourth model, a further 360 – mm AiO cooling is available the market: the EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB.
This model is also a closed and maintenance-free AiO cooling. The basic structure is largely taken over by EK-AIO D-RGB. The elite model has a more elegant, nickel-plated pump housing. Instead of a plastic lid, a small EK logo is illuminated on it. The different control range suggests that EK has also made changes to the pump itself. The biggest difference is in the fan assembly. With a push-pull configuration of six EK-Vardar S, the slim 360 – mm radiator literally forced ventilation. So that this fan armada can be managed sensibly at all, EK finally includes a PWM and A-RGB hub.
What will definitely change, that is the price. While the EK-AIO 360 D-RGB from EK for 146, 13 Euro is listed, the EK- AIO Elite 360 D-RGB 194, 86 Euro. EK plans the delivery from the 30. November.
