Box, Contents & Bundle
The box offers adequate protection, and everything is neatly arranged internally.
It is nice to see all the accessories packed like this! On the radiator, the fittings are covered with a black cover, so the usable tube length is 355mm (our measurement), while EK states 400mm.
The radiator features diamond-cut brushed aluminum side panels, boosting its quality bonus.
A layer of pre-applied thermal paste is on the block to make your life easier.
The pump’s top cover can be removed and rotated to have EK’s logo aligned.
The fans can be daisy-chained, which is highly convenient. Not only power but ARGB signals pass through the daisy-chain connections.

Hi thanks for the review.
I hesitate between CM Atmos and the EK Water Blocks EK-Nucleus CR360 Dark version.
The fans are not RGB, the performance should be better?
Both are very good. If I remember correctly the Atmos is slightly better in performance, but I like the true daisy chain of the Nucleus fans.
In the future it could also be nice to see an evaluation of pump noise. I’ve read that at lower noise levels, the pump is often the most loudly perceived component of an AIO. The pump is also impossible to swap, while fans can be mixed and matched.
Thank you for the great review!
yeah we check pump noise. If we find any issues there, we mention them in the review.
