Packaging

EK sticks with the white and orange theme for its packaging for their Nucleus AIO CR360 Lux D-RGB. On the front you're greeted by a full color image of the cooler in all its splendorous ARGB glory. Meanwhile the left side details the rotary fittings and rotatable top cover. Moving on to the back you get a breakdown of various features such as the full pressure technology fans (FPT), tunnel effect RGB lighting on the pump, high grade aluminium radiator, etc.


The right side is mostly plain except for the orange stripe, while the top has "Boost Your PC. In Style!" in bold lettering. The Nucleus AIO's specifications are all located on the bottom panel.

The internal packaging gives a premium feel as the unit comes encased in foam which I am always happy to see. Everything is secure and snug with no damage to my test unit during shipping.
