About this deal

EK-OmniLink – allows daisy chaining of multiple fans, thus reducing cable clutter and greatly easing cable management. The Omni-Link ecosystem of interconnects will be greatly expanded in the near future, allowing additional benefits to users. It uses Micro-fit 8-pin connectors between products.The EK-OmniLink design resolves the cable clutter issues of unifying the connection of multiple fans onto a single PWM and D-RGB header while still maintaining full flexibility if the user wants to remove a single fan from the chain. EK-Loop FPT Fans Those results are with the pre-applied thermal paste. I will retest with thermal paste in the box (can't remember the brand, sorry!), or the Noctua Nt-h2 I have, but if temps are this good then I won't even need to. The EK-Nucleus AIO comes pre-installed with reinforced and sleeved rubber tubing, now featuring finer threads, each fitted with an aluminium cover to ensure they're ultra-durable. Improved fitting positions allow for easy installation and adjustment of the rubber tubing, making the new EK-Nucleus AIO suitable for even the tightest spaces. The AIO CR360 Lux comes pre-installed with reinforced and sleeved rubber tubing, now featuring finer threads. The fittings are covered with an aesthetic white radiator cover at the connection of the tubing and the radiator to ensure a sleek design and flushed line with the added fans.

I bought this to replace my Alpenfohn Icewater 280mm AIO. Both the Alpenfohn and this EK AIO are high quality built items, I have no problem recommending either. I went from 280mm to 360mm to see how much difference it made, and to lose the RGB. To reduce cable clutter and the number of headers that need to be utilized on the motherboard or fan controller, EK-Loop FPT fans allow daisy-chaining through EK-OmniLink technology.We added a radiator cover to enhance our CPU cooler's aesthetics and clearly showcase its clean lines. We also updated the rubber tubing, which now features fine nylon mesh sleeves. Other than the slightly dim RGB lighting on the pump top and the slightly loud noise output at max fan speed, it is genuinely difficult to find fault with the EK-Nucleus CR360 Lux D-RGB. All I can say is that there isn’t anything unique in terms of features like the rotating top cover, daisy-chained fans and aluminium accents we have seen before, so EK has played it safe with this one. I had the Alpenfohn mounted vertically in the front of the case, as it ran colder there. This AIO has no problem being top mounted and shifts warm air really well.

To complete the installation, connect the wiring up to the motherboard. The 4-pin PMW cable from the fans can be connected to the motherboard CPU_FAN header and connect the pump PWM cable to the motherboard CPU_OPT header. The 3-pin D-RGB cables from the fans and pump can be daisy-chained and then the female end connector plugged into a 3-pin 5V D-RGB header either on the motherboard or a standalone RGB hub. There is a cut-to-size anti-vibration pad on all mounting corners of this fan. Fan Frame (Image By Tech4Gamers) a.) This means no power limits on Intel’s i7-13700K, and AMD’s default power limits on AMD’s Ryzen 7 7700X. I had a Corsair H100 240mm cooler on my 13700 and it was regularly getting into the high 90s (poss higher) under heavy loadA radiator cover was added to enhance our CPU cooler’s aesthetics and showcase its clean lines by leveling it out with the height of the installed fans. Each fan has 9x digital RGB LEDs installed facing up on the hub for some brilliant aura of digital lighting. Each fan has 7x frosted blades, and each mounting corner has a cut-to-size anti-vibration pad. These fans are rated for 550 to 2300 RPM ±RPM generating 36 dB(A) sound output at full speed with 77 CFM airflow at full speed. These fans use a newly designed motor which is coupled with Fluid Dynamic Bearing to provide maximum performance without any issues.
