FINISHED LOOKS
My CPU cooling test rig may not support RGB/A-RGB (and where it’s placed taking pictures is hard) but as it so happened, I was building a new Z490 based test rig I decided to showcase the EK AIO Elite 360 D-RGB with that instead (all tests were done with the X79 test rig however).
First step (before or after you mount the radiator to your case) is to attach the corresponding brackets onto the base of the EK AIO Elite 360 D-RGB as seen above.
Then you just need to put the backplate behind the motherboard, mount the 4 mounting thumb screws and secure them with the 4 thumb nuts.
Now the good thing about the EK-Hub is that it has 2.5” mounting holes underneath so you can basically mount it on any 2.5” as seen above.
And voila, this is how the EK AIO Elite 360 D-RGB looks like when in operation (the system was still not complete at the time of this review but didn’t have to be to showcase this AIO).
Yes, the top of the pump is less impressive than the acrylic one used with the EK AIO 360 D-RGB but for some people this may actually be a better result (it is for me).
