CONCLUSION

    When I reviewed the EK Nucleus CR240 Lux D-RGB I had high expectations from it, if anything because EK Water Blocks was behind it. Well, in the end it delivered everything I hoped it would and even though almost 18 months later EK has yet to deliver the highly anticipated Nucleus Vision AIO line (primarily due to supply chain shortages – mainly in relation to the LCD screen, not the only ones facing this exact issue lately) the Nucleus CR360 Lux D-RGB should be more than enough for even the most demanding consumer CPUs. Noise levels as expected are just a tad higher compared to the CR240 (2 vs 3 fans) but still not something I would consider as a game breaker (not loud but not quite silent either). In terms of looks even though the white version of the Nucleus CR360 Lux D-RGB did give me a hard time when taking pictures of it on my white photo bench it would clearly make a great addition to any white setup.

    With a retail price of USD199.97 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 195.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Nucleus AIO CR360 Lux D-RGB by EK is priced more or less ok. Yes, it may not fall between the most cost-effective AIO liquid CPU coolers out there, but it delivers very good cooling efficiency, looks and of course build quality and so the Golden Award is once again in order.
