EK Nucleus AIO All-in-One Liquid CPU Cooler with EK FPT Fans, Water Cooling Computer Parts, 120mm Fan, Compatible with Latest Intel & AMD CPUs (240mm, Nucleus - CR240)

one of the easiest to build with and the fans are extremely quiettemps are really low and the quality is worth the price. This fit in my ITX build

I needed a new cooler to replace an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 on 7950x in a Lian Li Q58 due to it getting too warm and also because I could not close the side panel. This EK AIO has no reviews as of this review but I have built many custom loops with EK components before so I was comfortable with the brand.The packaging of the AIO and specifically the mounting hardware would put Apple to shame. It was a wonderful experience unboxing the cooler.For the fans, originally I planned on swapping them out and replace with Noctua IPPC 2000 RPM fans. Upon receiving the aio, I decided to keep the fans as is for multiple reasons. One these are RGB and have a custom 7 pin (PWM and aRGB) connector for daisy chain making cable management easier. The fans can run at full speed of 2400 RPM and pushes decent amount of air while staying remarkably quiet. Not Noctua-quiet but very close.Pump: the pump in this AIO is the only PWM pump in the market that I am aware of which makes EK unique. At 80% PWM the pump runs at 2900 RPM and is extremely quiet to the point I could not hear it even if Iturn off all the fans. The arctic liquid freezer II claims to have PWM pump also but that is false advertising as the only component that supports PWM are the fans.Performance: running Ryzen 7950x without undervolting or overclocking, fans at 2100 RPM (pretty quiet), CPU sitting at a cool 56 degrees C during a 10 min Cinebench R23 run, for which it scored 34K. Running the CPU with auto boost and PBO, fans at 2400 rpm (louder but not too bad), CPU settled at 82 C and scored 38K.The only issue I encountered is the threads on the radiator. Not all the mounting points are fully tapped and it took some force to use the screws as tap.

Bought for building my own computer. Cut my small potable tower perfectly. Pretty durable. Easy to install.

Really Good All-In-One water cooling solution for the Ryzen 7 7600x for around $110. The instillation instructions were clear and concise making the overall instillation pretty easy and stress-free. The quality is admirable and can easily go with any aesthetic. The RGB can be easily controlled with Aura software and looks smooth with changing hues.Although I did replace the front cover of the Nucleus from the EKWB official website, the one that came stock with it still looks very nice. I do wish there was an LCD front cover EKWB would sell or come stock with it.Under heavy CPU load temperatures never went above 85 deg. C with the be quiet aesthetic fans being a bit worse that the ones that came with the AIO. Under light CPU loads, temperatures sustained between 40-50 deg. C. With the pump spinning at max speed, it is pretty inaudible.I would recommend.

It’s cools i7 14700f well never exceeding 77° on CB23From day 2 it’s made a rattling noise from the pump. I run afterburner when I game when I see temps higher than normal I’ll replace with Liquid freezer III with Noctua slim fans.RGB is mid and doesn’t match the rest of the RGB in the case.EK’s customer support sucks. Made a claim when the noise started took them two months to respond. Didn’t bother with warranty since I have a better plan moving forward.

I wasn't aware of this brand until I read around on newer AIO's as the one I had originally installed started making a lot of unsavory noises. So, after reading some other reviews, I gave this cooler a shot, it's great.It's working as expected and keeps my 14900 / 7950x3d CPU's cool and quiet. So, I expected it to cool well, but what got me the most was the packaging. So well done and clean, I was surprised as you only get that "quality" packaging feeling from overpriced brands.I ended up buying a 2nd one for my other CPU (mentioned above). Give it a shot, well worth the money.

Installation initially proved challenging, as the screw holes on the radiator (both fan side and mounting side) were not pre-threaded on the unit received. Attempts to mount the radiator required excessive force. Once notified of the issue, EK Customer Service advised that the radiators are painted after the threads are made, and that there may have been too much paint on the threads; however, they were quick to resolve the issue after further discussion and send a replacement. Installation of the replacement went much smoother with minimal resistance from the mounting screws. While the initial defect may pose QC concerns, I am ultimately satisfied with the EK team's responsiveness. Depending on the longevity of the product (TBD), I would consider purchasing again in the future.

i7 13700k reaches 91°C max @270w in cinebench r23. No throttling @5.5Ghz. Undervolting keeps things in the 70s at most.
