Finished Looks

Once installed, the semi-transparent white fan blades and ARGB diffusion of the pump top make for a high contrast design that is classy and not over the top, visually appealing even without the ARGB lighting. The aluminium EK logo also tended to catch the light, which made it as a nice accent piece as well.


Sadly, memory clearance isn't quite as good as with other units I have tested, at least when installed as noted in the manual, with keeping the EK logo facing the right way. Yes, you can rotate the block, and all would be well if it weren't for that turned EK logo. I wish EK would have made it rotatable or left it off for users to install after the fact to ensure it always faces the right way no matter the system build. As for graphics card clearance well, the amount of space offered feels like the grand canyon compared to larger air coolers.


I will say the LED lighting on the EK-AIO 360 D-RGB is pretty damn good. Brightness is just right, and the color is uniformly lit. Better yet, due to their use of an aluminium bracket for the pump fittings, the individual LEDs are not visible, and since they are hidden quite well in the fan hubs as well, you don't have any weird light bleed or other noticeable issues. Instead, the unit is simply well lit and looks damn good.
