EK launches new EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB Liquid Coolers (LCS)

EK launches new EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB Liquid Coolers (LCS)

EK is expanding its All-In-One portfolio with the new EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB. This latest AIO cooler comes with six fans instead of just three, making it ideal for users who prefer their fans in a push-pull regime for improved performance. 

The Elite version of EK-AIO also boasts a more sophisticated design thanks to the glossy Black Nickel finish of the pump cover. The EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB with the 360mm size radiator, just like the initial EK-AIO 360 D-RGB, is ready to provide ample cooling power even for the toughest processors on the market. Whether you are into heavy overclocking or wish to have a silent PC, the 360mm radiator can provide both simultaneously. An AIO of this size would need an ATX-sized case that is ready to fit the 360mm radiator and six EK-Vardar fans.

In the first quarter of 2020, EK launched Its first true All-In-One cooler- the EK-AIO D-RGB. It came in three different sizes featuring a simple plug-and-play design and fully customizable D-RGB lighting, making it ideal for first-time users while also catering to more demanding customers. The EK-AIO soon became one of EK’s best selling products, which is why the company decided to go even further with the development of its All-In-One CPU liquid cooling solutions and introduce the EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB.

The robust SPC-style pump is upgraded for higher RPMs. It ensures sufficient coolant flow through a dense copper fin structure, delivering optimal performance compared to its class of AIO products currently on the market. A sizeable pump housing indicates the quality of the pump that promises durability alongside smooth and quiet operation. The glossy Black Nickel cover of the pump unit boasts an elegant look with the subtle hint of D-RGB effects showing through the EK badge.

The included addressable D-RGB Vardar fans are high-static pressure cooling fans, designed and built primarily for radiator use in liquid cooling systems. The perfectly balanced, milky-colored, 7-blade rotor design is optimized for light dispersion and high-pressure operation while maintaining a low noise profile throughout the fan’s whole operational range. There is a total of 9 addressable D-RGB LEDs under the motor hub, ensuring perfect light diffusion, even in broad daylight.

The EK-AIO Elite comes with six Vardar fans, which can be utilized to create a push-pull configuration or, if there isn’t enough space, a better airflow when three fans are positioned inside the chassis.

A high-grade 27mm-thick aluminum radiator with 12 channels is ensuring cooling efficiency. The thickness, or better yet slimness of the radiator, makes this EK-AIO compatible with most of the popular cases. The stylish black radiator, while being slim, is being efficiently utilized since its core has almost the same thickness as its outer body.

The EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB is designed in Slovenia, Europe, and made in China. It is available for pre-order directly through the EK Online Store with the estimated shipping date of November 23, 2020. The pre-orders are limited to 200 units only! In the table below, you can see the manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP), VAT included. for 199.90€

Push/pull makes little to no difference vs push vs pull... so <=> marketing their "care" to give you 6 fans also more fans doesn't necessarily translate in more cooling efficiency... 2 in front and one in the back is enough, with more than this comes little difference but more power requirements and noise...
Price is good though..
Also at this price I wonder about fans quality - I had Corsair and NZXT AIO's and I always replaced the fans with Noctua ones - the best!!! - EK is known for their very good cooling solutions and also for their not so good fans...

They put in the top radiator fans the wrong way on the purple-led image. It's pushing air back into the case.

I saw that image and immediately thought the back side of fans looks horrible with all the regulation garbage text and symbols all over it and couldn't they have put a nice clean front on that side if it had to be seen. Does make sense then if they are backward... but why?? Aren't these marketing images supplied by EK themselves?? How could they do it wrong?
