Before you begin, ensure sure your Processor is free of any prior thermal paste residue; you may wipe the top with rubbing alcohol.
In all of these tests, the EK AIO 240 D-RGB outperformed its well-known competition, the Noctua NH-D15/S, although it fell short of defeating the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240. You prioritize quiet operation: While the cooler offers excellent performance, the fans at full power can be rather loud, so it may not be ideal if you’re looking for a silent solution. There is a single 4-pin flat cable coming out of the pump to power its motor. It has an approximate length of 495mm. The coolers are also tested using Auto PWM function. MSI is using Smart Fan mode in the UEFI/BIOS which is not pure Auto PWM but it is what is available to us. The above picture shows the MSI default fan curve for the Smart Fan mode. Since all the coolers will be tested using the same configuration and settings, same margin of error applies to all. The radiator assembly has a nice clean finish all around. There is no EKWB branding on the side of the assembly.Our first chart looks at the more intensive 200W heat load, as produced by the 3 dies on the AMD 3950X. We’ve normalized the noise levels to 35dBA at 20” distance, creating an equal playing field to test the efficiency of the pumps, fans, and radiators without permitting the fans to just brute force performance at the expense of noise. Again, remember that we keep the included fans for this test.
EK®, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, is expanding its All-In-One product line with two new products: EK- AIO Basic and EK-AIO Elite Aurum 360 D-RGB. Users will get confused when choosing the EK AIO 240 D-RGB against some mighty competitors in the market like the:Install the fans on the radiator. You can do this step after installing the radiator in the chassis as well. Now coming to the ultimate challenge of handling the CPU with all cores set to run at 5.1GHz using 1.345V, the EK-AIO Basic 240 shows its true cooling potential as it is sitting on the top with a minimum of 2°C difference over the other coolers. Conclusion EK mostly tries to leverage its open loop competence in marketing its CLC, appealing to authority in one space to try and establish a foothold in a newer one. This is a common strategy and, thus far, we haven’t read anything horribly out-of-line or overmarketed. They say that it’s a “pre-filled pump-res combo design for a liquid cooling solution that’s ready to go straight out of the box,” which is all accurate. The res is the tank on the radiator, the rest is obvious.
We have upgraded our Intel test bed recently. A few coolers have been tested on this setup. More will be added after the testing in coming time. This product is compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers.The arrow marking on the 3-pin LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the A-RGB (D_RGB) header. The mounting hardware is included in a transparent container which is labeled for ease of identification. I have sent the picture to their marketing for correction on the label.
Additional Info
You seek efficient cooling: The industrial-quality Vardar S fans with higher RPMs enhance the cooler’s thermal performance, making it a great investment. You Shouldn’t Buy It If NOTE: This is a transcript of our video, for the most part, although the video has some more discussion in the intro and conclusion than found here. We publish these articles to be helpful, but make most our money to sustain this expensive operation via videos. If sharing the content, please consider sharing the video instead. If you’re looking for a mid-range cooler, such as a 240mm AIO on the market, we’re delighted to report that the EK AIO 240 D-RGB provides high-end cooling at a reduced cost. As previously said, the testing was not carried out on an open bench. Therefore, the findings shown below will apply to any user; however, bear in mind that we did have a more significant number of fans for intake and drawing air out. Test System The EK-AIO Basic 240 comes with the two EK-Vardar S 120 Dark Edition fans. These are high-performance fans designed for liquid cooling solutions. These fans are rated for up to 2200 RPM ±10 Each fan has a 4-pin PWM fan connector having an approximate length of 485mm. The cable is flat in design.
