EK AIO Basic 240 mm, D-RGB All-in-One CPU Water Cooler with Premium EK-Vardar High-Performance PMW Fans, Liquid Cooling, 120 mm Fan, Intel 115X/1200/2066, AMD AM4

Product Information

The EK-AIO Basic 240 is a 240mm CLC which comes with 2x EK-Vardar S120 Dark Edition High Performance Fans and a universally compatible CPU water block with tool-less mounting mechanism for easy installation.

The CLC 360 did horribly relative to its size in the 35dBA test, although it does comparatively better at 40dBA in our Intel HEDT testing, but it does maintain a lead at its deafening 60. A pair of aRGB Vardar S fans come standard on the EK AIO 240 D-RGB, are 4-pin PWM-managed and can be run in parallel from the same header using the 2-way splitter. Our meticulous quality control, rigorous production process, and cutting-edge technology converge to bring you a product of extraordinary durability and reliability. I also observed during the testing of EK-AIO 240 D-RGB that the orientation of the backplate on the Intel LGA1200 socket was same as is on the Basic series coolers but it was not same for the LGA1151 socket.EK Water Blocks is using straight fittings on the radiator with large size aluminum couplings/covers in matte black color finishing. Built into both its CPU block and Vardar S fans, the EK AIO offers a range of color configurations controlled from either your motherboard or standalone RGB controller. It features an aluminum side plate put on a lathe, and part of the panel’s surface is machined off to leave a shiny alloy finish.

EK Water Blocks has provided a Y cable which allows the user to connect both fans to a single fan header on the motherboard. Detailed information about the installation process can be found below, in the attached PDF file containing the installation manual.The NZXT Kraken X72 360mm unit has again been exposed of an aging pump design and overall poor performance with these slower fan settings, falling behind the Arctic and EK units alike. EK®, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, is expanding its All-In-One product line with two new products: EK- AIO Basic and EK-AIO Elite Aurum 360 D-RGB.

The springs mean no concern about mounting pressure is needed -- you just tighten within reason until sufficient resistance is provided, then stop. EK’s AIO D-RGB series of coolers is a new approach to closed-loop liquid coolers from EK, most recently shown in public at CES 2020. The pump’s 5v aRGB header features a 3-pin VDG splitter for motherboards that support this connection rather than the traditional 3-pin. You can choose from a range of components and check the compatibility with your system to build your perfect PC.Tom's Hardware is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher.
