INTRODUCTION

   Even though for the largest majority of people AIO (all-in-one) 240/280mm liquid CPU coolers offer exceptional cooling efficiency without breaking the bank there are always those who are looking for something even better, such as 360/420mm AIO models. Still there are always some people who are looking to take things a step further when it comes to cooling efficiency and for those people a factory-ready (or custom for that matter) water cooling kit (loop) is usually the go to choice/solution. Water cooling kits (and water cooling parts in general) have always been treated as a niche product aimed almost exclusively towards enthusiasts and professionals but thanks to manufacturers like EK Water Blocks this has changed over the recent years and after popular demand today I’ll be testing their Classic RGB P360 Complete RGB Liquid Cooling Kit.

   EK® Water Blocks, the premium liquid cooling manufacturer, bears the name of its founder Edvard König. It all started with the enthusiasm of one man and his ventures with liquid cooling back in 1999. From its humble beginnings more than ten years ago, the company steadily grew to become the most renowned supplier of high-end premium quality liquid cooling products. Over the years, the company expanded its product portfolio to become a full liquid cooling solution provider know as EK®. Today, the products of EK® are available in more than 30 countries worldwide and the company holds several partnerships with some of the most recognized brands.

   The EK-KIT Classic RGB P360 is a complete tr-fan water cooling kit/loop designed to cover the needs of even the most demanding users by combining their medium thickness EK-CoolStream Classic PE 360 radiator (393mm long, 120mm wide and 45mm thick - features a steel housing with copper fins and brass chambers) with the EK Supremacy Classic RGB waterblock (top made out of CNC machined high-grade acrylic glass), an EK-XRES 140 SPC PWM Classic RGB pump-reservoir (DC pump with 2.2m head pressure with 250L/h maximum flow) and three EK-Vardar F4-120ER RGB 120mm fans (2200RPM/77CFM/3.16mmH2O/33.5dBA). This choice of components for the Classic RGB P360 all but ensures that you're getting one of the best factory ready kits currently available in the market today. Of course the bundle also contains six EK-STC Classic 10/13 compression fittings (G1/4 nickel), EK-UNI pump bracket, 4-way RGB splitter cable, bottle of EK-CryoFuel Clear Rev.2 (concentrated 100ml for up to 1 litre of coolant - use high purity distilled water to dilute it) and 2 meters of their EK-DuraClear PVC Tubing. Finally, just like with the Classic RGB S240 kit (review here) the RGB illuminated parts of the Classic RGB P360 kit are fully compatible with all the leading mainboard RGB sync technologies like the ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light and the ASRock RGB LED.
