Normalized Noise Tests
For these tests, I set the cooler’s fan(s) to speeds with noise output at the following predefined levels: 20/25/30/35/40 dBA. I skip the corresponding tests if the cooler’s fan(s) cannot reach some noise levels. Finally, I include a test where the cooler’s fan(s) spins at full speed.

– Hope you’ll test “EK-Nucleus Lux CR360 D-RGB AIO” too (there’s also non-RGB (Dark version) and White version will be there soon as well…)
– It’s the best AIO in 2023 (according to many reviewers, such as Kitguru, OC3D, Robeytech and others…)
– Tech-Notice even showed it beats 420mm Arctic Liquid Freezer a bit when paired with 13900K… and some people commented that it’s just a couple degrees difference then with their Custom-loop cooling…
– And the AIO is finally in stock again (it wasn’t in stock for a long time, I guess people are buying like crazy haha – I also bought it, hope it will arrive soon :))
I just saw a review of “Phanteks Glacier One T30 Gen 2 D-RGB AIO (360mm)” and it’s 1 degree better then Nucleus Lux (on full load) – so you can test this one too 🙂
I am trying to find this AIO but I don’t have any contacts to Phanteks, unfortunately.
oh, that’s very unfortunate but what about EK-Nucleus? Could you review that one instead (while they are still in stock)? haha 😀
Will ask EK if they have any to send 🙂
Awesome 😀
There’s also new “Asus ROG Ryujin III 360” cooler that’s even better then these 2 coolers… but the pump noise is frustrating according to “OC3D”, and the price is also insane 😅
I will try to get that.
This AIO is the most suitable – especially in new generations of INTEL and AMD which are literally heaters.
Very good and tested by me on 13600K and 5900X.
I don’t like the desing of the PUMP that much, but that’s subjective.
As far as the noise is concerned, it is not one of the most silent when I tested it with the Arctic Freezer II 360 with 6 120mm fans, but also with the 2 processors the difference was an average of -4C compared to the Arctic Freezer II 360 with MX6 thermal paste.
The fans are very strong and DeepCool shows again in recent years that it wants to go 2 steps higher.
The DeepCool cases need radical renewal and redesign.
I should mention as far as the Fan Controller you mentioned (Corsair) is concerned, you can buy 10 seats from Arctic for €7 if you want to add another 3 for a push/pull arrangement and connect other fans.
Also, DeepCool, for someone who wants to change thermal pads on the GPU, etc., provides very high-quality mm pads in many dimensions.
Aris, goodevening! – We love you so much and we support you!
Bless UP! my friend
Thank you!!!
Awesome review. If you could test Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 for reference. Another interesting cooler is Phanteks Glacier one 360 t30 gen 2. It uses the new asetek gen 8 pump , has a 30mm thick radiator with 20ppi and it includes the best fans you have ever tested (t30).
Excellent review. I’m thinking about buying this water cooler but in white. The problem I will have will be adjusting the fans in reverse to comply with the case manufacturer’s recommendation: a Lian Li o11 Vision. About this, what I’m thinking (and please don’t judge me) is to put some nice (and not very efficient) reverse fans, with lots of LED effects on the front (intake fans) and on the back I’ll keep the ones that come with the AIO (pushing from behind), making a push-pull configuration. It makes sense? Thanks again for the review. Obrigado
To be frank, I didn’t quite understand what you want to do with the reverse fans, but in any case if you want to get something good, look at the Lian Li UNI fans which have reverse models and RGB.
