Any Guru3D photo-shoot always starts with the packaging and bundle, everything is packaged, cushioned and bundled safely in the box. The smaller box holds all the components needed, and yeah it's filled with goodies alright.

Once opened you'll spot the liquid cooling unit consisting out of the radiator, fans, tubing, pump/reservoir and CPU cooling block up-to screws and fittings. Everything is relatively easy to install and ready to use. You do need to install fans and stuff like tubing towards the cooling block and reservoir to obviously create your own custom loop.

The sheer amount of components in the kit can be a little overwhelming, but you'll quickly see where all the money is spent on. Bundled in the P360 kit are:

  • EK-Supremacy EVO 
  • EK-CoolStream PE 360 Radiator
  • EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM (reservoir incl.pump)
  • 3 x EK-Vardar F3-120 (1850rpm)
  • PrimoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT – Clear tubing
  • 6 x EK-ACF Fitting 10/13mm – Nickel fittings
  • EK-Ekoolant EVO CLEAR (conc.100mL). You will need to pick up some distilled water yourself.
  • Torx T20 key
  • thermal grease TIM (Gelid)
  • EK-UNI Pump Bracket (120mm FAN) Vertical (pump holder)
  • EK-Cable Y-Splitter 3-Fan PWM (10cm) and an extra cable with two LEDs.

Let's break down the kit piece by piece. Above the Supremacy EVO CPU water block kit. You'll spot a retention/mounting system that supports Intel LGA 115x and 2011 processors which can be used in combination with this cooler. With Socket Intel LGA-1150/1151/1155/1156 you are totally good to go. The kit as is also AMD processor/APU compatible with the included mounting brackets for socket 939, 754, 940, AM2(+), AM3(+), FM1 and FM2(+). You will receive a motherboard back-plate, some thermal grease TIM. The water block is the performance series block, it'll do just great. Also included is an extra flow plate (they plastic thingy in the middle inside) so you can optimize flow for certain model CPUs. I'd advise you to stick with the default setup.

The biggest item in the kit, that massive 360 mm radiator have the raditor, we'll  need to install three variable Vardar PWM fans (120mm), these are re-wired on one connector and are controlled from the motherboard PWM controller - so your motherboard PWM controller will regulate the fans. Alternatively you could tie them to a fan controller, of course. The Vardar fans are just great relative to airflow performance and low noise levels.
