If you are on a 13900k/kf or a 9800x3d/9850x3d just get it, handles all of those cpu's effortlessly.
Cooling performance it's amazing, but do not pair a super hot running chip like a 13900ks/14900k-kf-ks or a 9950x3d you do not want to deal with EK Support while it has a warranty they want you to send in the defective product at your expense even if you bought it directly from them. A 13900k/kf, 9800x3d/9850x3d to any cpu under those or that do not use the same amount of power you are golden. This AIO with PTM pad will keep a 9850x3d with a PBO-All Core-Negative-20 cool 40-44c idle, load high 4Xc to 60c, max load of 100-115% like during shader compiles 71c. Its cooling performance is above the two asetek gen8 v2 AIO's from asus and tryx, and it performs slightly under the two Noctua aio's. Putting it square in the middle of top cooling performance of the 360 aio's and at 145 trust me its worth it you get one of the best cooling AIO's for the money that is what I call value. My other EK Nucleus Lux 360 is still being used today so 3 almost 4 years later. Lost my EK Nucleus Direct die due to heat of a 14900k's really bad P/E cores killing the pump. The RGB hooks right up to the motherboard, all the fans link together for easy cable management. Fits great in the case and as long as you're not using heat monster cpu it will last.

Quality Construction All Around
Paired this with a Ryzen 7950X on an Asus x670e Extreme board in a Phanteks Enthoo Pro case (PH-ES614PTG_BK). It is a tight fit, but I did manage to get it in and also keep the built-in control bay with the flip cover too without modification. I was also able to load up my three other front 5.25 bays too, although I had to place the shallowest one at the top and then also dremel the 3.5->5.25 bay adapter a bit in order to get it to fit comfortably in front of the CR360. Due to the mounting positions on the Enthoo case the radiator sits a bit further forward, but looking down from the top it is actually perfectly centered in the top dust filter cutout. I decided to mount the pump with lines on the bottom to minimize the stress and tension on the lines due to the positioning of the radiator with respect to the mobo. The top pump display is magnetic and can be rotated in a matter of seconds. Build Quality: This thing just oozes quality, especially the radiator. Clean, sturdy, no cheap plastic anywhere. Everything impressed me from the overall packaging to even the quality of the manual! Installation: Very straight forward once you determine the bracket and standoffs with the correct threads. The pump already has thermal paste evenly applied. Wiring is a breeze and their daisy chain system makes cable management a little less painful. Some others mentioned the top radiator threads were not cut 100% properly and they either had a hard time getting them started or had to break out a tap and die set to clean them up, but I did not have this issue. All screws and bolts threaded in without issue first attempt. Performance: Extremely quiet at idle (speeds under 30%). At 100% the fans are quite loud (like jet engine loud), but with this cooler (and no PBO!) I haven't gone beyond 80 degrees yet at stock. While doing normal tasks the fans range from 30%-60% based on my curves, and it does become noticeable, but it's still quieter than my old AM3 system with a single fan Corsair AIO! I have not yet benchmarked or stress tested my system as it's not fully complete yet, but I feel confident with my choice in this cooler. Oh, and I haven't had time to play with ARGB in Aura yet for any of my components, so the review picture attached shows the default rainbow pattern for everything. That said, the LED brightness and diffusion look to be spot on.

Great first impressions
Only time will tell for reliability, but initial impressions of this cooler are quite good. The pump is very quiet even when running at 100%. It is noticeably quieter than my old H150i RGB Pro 360 AIO. It is also able to keep my 13900k nice and cool without being overly noisy. I would like to see a water temp sensor implemented as I prefer to do fan curves on water temp rather than CPU temp, but luckily this cooler does a great job at lower RPMs, so you are able to set a fairly relaxed PWM curve on the CPU temperatures to keep noise levels down the majority of the time. It comes with pre-applied thermal paste as well as an additional tube of paste, which is a nice touch. The fans, assuming they stand the test of time, are very good and operate quietly at lower RPMs and audible but tolerable at higher RPMS. The RGB on them can get very bright and it seems to be able to produce white better than my previous Corsair LL120 fans that had more of a blueish tint when you set them to white. The daisy chain system is very easy to use. It isn't quite as elegant as some other implementations, but it gets the job done. I would like to see this evolved to be more integrated into the fans and ditch the wires, but it is definitely not a deal breaker. All in all this is a great cooler with only a few very minor things that I would improve upon. It is too early to comment on reliability, but assuming that is up to par, this cooler is easy to recommend.

Almost perfect
Gorgeous AIO with THE BEST cooking performance. Some of the best wire management daisy chain connectors. The easiest install process for an AIO. With the sale it was absolutely the best bang for my buck. I only have a handful of small complaints like the tubes and wiring for the pump block (really everything connected to the pump block) being a couple inches too short for peak optimized layout. How the center led design on the pump looks almost like a sticker and the bearing hubs on the fans being so large. Also the fans being a mm or 2 too thick to be mounted on the outside front of the case. But those are the only and nitpicky things I can think of that keeps it from a 5/5

EKWB Delivers a Great AIO
EKWB has been making top-notch water-cooling components for years. After upgrading my CPU and motherboard, I chose to go with an AIO unit instead of building another dedicated water-cooling loop. Since my old loop used EKWB plates and components, I trusted they dotted their i's and crossed their t's when it comes to their own AIO unit. I have gotten nothing but great performance with it cooling my i9-14900KF. The kit was very easy to install, and the instructions were clear to understand. The hardest part might be hiding the fan cables, and that's not too hard (although I messed that up). I like the fan design, I had been using EKWB Vardar fans, these new ones are touted as an improved iteration. The RGB is pretty bright and the animations are smooth, although after taking a few pictures, I just put it in stealth mode. I use my CPU for rendering a good portion of the time with Houdini's Karma CPU engine and it's able to handle multi hour renders without any hiccups or changes in clock speed. It may not cool quite as well as a dedicated dual radiator loop; but if you don't want to spend a good chunk on fittings, tubes, plates, radiators, etc. (or fuss with putting it together) then this AIO is a perfect option.

AMAZING!!! Over 50° lower temps!!! Best on the market!
At the beginning of the year I finally did a full rebuild of my PC and chose a 360mm AIO from MSI, not trashing them or anything they do have many great products, I just would never get or recommend a AIO from them ever again... in this In this I expected higher temps with my Ryzen 9 7900x and wasn't all that surprised seeing idle at 80° and it would go up over 100° with even light gaming... so needless to say I was pretty disappointed, but I was stuck now. Flash forward about 8-10 weeks... that almost new AIO's pump is now buzzing and no longer pumping fluid so my comp is now a pretty hefty paper weight... so I started looking around and found this AIO from EK... Needless to say I was very surprised. I had definitely heard of EK in the liquid cooling world but all custom stuff and had never heard of them breaking into the AIO market. But when I saw it I was sold this is the one I want. And, I was definitely not disappointed... they have thoroughly lived up to their reputation of performance and quality. My PC now idles around 32° and even under gaming load and benchmarking has not exceeded 60° and with about half the fan noise. I am thoroughly impressed and would definitely highly recommend this cooler to anyone looking for one.

Cooling my 9950X3D with no noise!
Fantastic aio! I didn't know this one existed. Was looking for something to run on linux with no LCD. Kept getting the usual Arctic LF III suggestions, but not only was that thing massive but just a pain to mess with. Gambled on the EK aio and it's been amazing. Can't hear the pump on full speed at all and my 9950X3D temps idle around 41 and so far haven't climbed over 60's while gaming. Did throw some Noctua fans on it, but I really cant tell the difference with the included fans. Was easy to use with openrgb, just assigned 12 leds and thats it. Definitely recommend! Not sure why this thing gets overlooked. If you just go by Youtube and Reddit, all that exists is the Arctic, lol.

PERFORMANCE TOP
Ho acquistato il modello 360, e da risultati eccellenti. Con dissipatore stock CPU su intel i7 13700F raggiungevo già 50° in Idle e 86° circa in game. E' vero che il dissipatore stock era stato montato male, ma cmq le differenze con questo AIO si vedono e sono evidenti. Temperature attuali: 23° gradi in Idle e max 46° in game. Praticamente dimezzate. Ottimo prodotto, efficiente e silenzioso (SE MONTATO CORRETTAMENTE NEL CASE). Anche molto bello esteticamente, nulla di particolare ma gli effetti RGB sono comunque di qualità in confronto ad altri prodotti. Super consigliato.

O melhor AIO 360mm que já usei!
Na abertura da caixa do Walter cooler EK, você é surpreendido pelo ótimo acondicionamento. O acabamento é minimalista, é o melhor desempenho de um WATER COOLER AIO 360mm que já utilizei. Até o momento eu tinha um Artic Liquid Freezer III PRO 420mm, o EK tem pelo menos o mesmo desempenho, com bem menos ruído. Recomendo 100%.

Compre el producto el 19 de Ene de 2024 y el jueves 10 de Julio de 2025 el led de la bomba parece que se quemo afectando a otros. La bomba funciona bien aunque por tema estética ya no luce igual.
