Finished Looks

The high contrast design courtesy of the semi-transparent white fan blades and pump top makes is classy. The cooler still looks great with the lighting turned off even though the design is meant to show off the ARGB lighting.


You may also notice that the pump is rotated compared to the EK-AIO 360 D-RGB we reviewed previously. This was done on purpose to showcase that you can do this, and it will fix the memory clearance problem that occurs when you install the cooler according to the manual. Rotating the pump block does not impact graphics card clearance either, so if you are utilizing all four DIMM slots on your motherboard, this may be the way you want to install your EK-AIO. It is just a shame you can't easily rotate the EK logo to keep it right side up.


The LED lighting is pretty damn good, and much like its big brother, the brightness is just right, with color being fairly uniform. Better yet, due to their use of an aluminium bracket for the pump fittings, the individual LEDs are not visible on said pump, and since the LEDs on the fan are also fairly well hidden, you don't have as much light bleed or as many bright spots. In general, it is one of the better ARGB LED implementations I have seen on an AIO.
