EK AIO Elite 360 D-RGB CPU Cooler Review

Performance

Starting off with the CPU temperature performance, it comes as little surprise to us to find that the figures provided in our testing are amazingly good. Whether at stock or overclocked, the EK AIO Elite 360 D-RGB provided excellently low scores making it, overall, one of the best coolers we have ever encountered.

What about noise levels though? And particularly so with those 6 fans? – Well, the short answer is that if you thought this was going to be the Achilles heel (and admittedly, we suspected it might be) then you’re wrong. Despite the number and RPM performance of the fans, the EK AIO Elite 360 D-RGB still manages to remain exceptionally quiet at its job. While clearly not the quietest performing cooler we have ever come across, the results do still manage to put in into the top quarter of our comparative samples. And remember, most of those coolers are either two or three fan products. – Having at least double the amount of fans and being at least as quiet as most AIO coolers is exceptionally impressive and indicative that EK has chosen very wisely here.

Admittedly, when overclocked and put into a stress test, the fans do get quite vocal. Even then though, the score provided in our acoustic test was still much, much, lower than we expected and, overall, in terms of performance, the EK AIO Elite 360 D-RGB is, put simply, absolutely fantastic!
