Liquid Cooler EK Water Blocks Nucleus AIO CR360 Lux D-RGB 12 cm Black

The EK Water Blocks Nucleus AIO CR360 Lux D-RGB 12 cm Black is an all-in-one liquid cooler designed for modern desktop systems. It combines a slim 360 mm radiator with a triple 120 mm fan configuration and a pump head that features addressable D-RGB lighting arranged in a fan-like gradient. The unit supports a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets and includes reinforced sleeved tubing plus rotatable pump-top orientation for consistent aesthetics in varied installations.

Advantages

This AIO cooler provides efficient heat dissipation through its 360 mm radiator and three 120 mm fans with speeds ranging from 550 to 2300 RPM and a maximum airflow of up to 72 CFM. Noise output is specified at 36 dB during typical operation, offering a balance between cooling performance and acoustic comfort. Addressable RGB lighting on the pump top allows synchronization with motherboard RGB headers and the pump top can be rotated in 90° increments for correct logo orientation. Reinforced sleeved tubing and refined rotary fitting placement improve durability and make installation easier in constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• High-performance gaming PCs requiring sustained CPU cooling
• Content-creation workstations with heavy CPU loads
• Slim or mid-tower cases that can accommodate a 360 mm slim radiator
• Systems where synchronized D-RGB lighting and clean pump aesthetics are desired

How to use

Mount the slim 360 mm radiator in a compatible case location (top, front, or roof depending on case layout) using the included screws and fans. Install the pump/block onto the CPU following the supplied manual and mounting hardware; align the pump top orientation as needed by rotating in 90° increments before final tightening. Connect fan power to fan headers or a fan controller and plug the D-RGB 3-pin connector to a +5V addressable RGB header on the motherboard, aligning the arrow on the connector with the +5V marking. Ensure tubing routing does not kink and that the radiator and fans have adequate airflow clearance.

Recommendations

For consistent cooling performance and low noise, configure fan curves in the motherboard BIOS or a fan-control utility to match CPU load profiles. When using RGB synchronization, verify the motherboard vendor’s addressable RGB standard and align the connector arrow with the +5V marking. Periodically check tubing connections and radiator fan mounting to ensure secure attachment and unobstructed airflow.
