EK AIO Elite 360 D-RGB review

We test and review the all-new EK AIO Elite 360, an AIO liquid cooling kit from EK that can be bought in a new design with versions running up-to a 360mm rad. The kits come with Vardar ARGB compatible fans. Being EK, we do expect some decent cooling performance; armed with the fans, sleeved tubing, and a proper looking cooling block we'll see what EK has to offer in the massive LCS kit arena.

Rip off.
Double the price, double the fans, a "cheap" alu rad, yet only gains 3*C on the Eisbaer 360, lol..
And nothing can be replaced or extended like on the Eisbaer.

exactly and the eisbaer is much quieter under load. i bought one (280) for my nephew as he's gotten interested in oc. alphacool also has pre-packed extensions with extra radiators available for almost effortless expansion.

I have been wanting to replace the standard cooler that came with the 3900X (and needing it now for future 59x0 upgrade) and looking around at various 360 models for a while (NZXT Kraken Z73, Gigabyte AORUS 360) but none of them were exactly what I wanted or were getting bad user reviews (some Coolermaster ones).
This one seems to tick more of my boxes - ARGS fans (on both sides of rad now which means lighting can be seen from inside and outside case now), subtle lighting on pump, not too big CPU block (hello ASUS ROG Ryujin) - I can do without the fancy OLED displays on the CPU for better cooling performance any day - don't want BOM money being spent on OLED screens and less on the actual cooling.
I don't really need expandability - I had full custom water cooling years ago so don't want it again. Just need enough for CPU to not thermal throttle. And be quiet. And fit in case (hopefully this will - going into my old trusty Coolermaster HAF932 on top). Price is reasonable compared to the 360 OLED display ones. And EK reputation for water-cooling gear definitely swings it - I hope the quality of this is similar to their custom gear.
Any way I have pre-ordered this, so will see how it goes.
