EK Water Blocks EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 Direct Die D-RGB - 1700

The EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 Direct Die D-RGB - 1700 is the first-ever all-in-one CPU liquid cooling solution for Intel® LGA 1700 socket-based CPUs with a removed IHS. It offers a unique brushed aluminum skull on the pump-block unit and an elegant addressable RGB aesthetic. It is designed to fit most popular cases on the market today and features a triple 120mm fan setup with a slim 360mm radiator.

This unique AIO cooling solution is bringing the advantages of direct die cooling to more PC enthusiasts since delidding was mainly reserved for custom loop liquid cooling applications. It required a complete custom loop setup, which was not affordable or attractive to every user. With the launch of the latest AIO, EK is bringing direct die cooling to the mainstream market. The Direct Die AIO now guarantees a seamless experience and a more budget-friendly entry into direct die liquid cooling. Key elements of the new AIO, like its backplate and die-guard, were co-developed with Der8auer, the famous German overclocker and a pioneer in extreme CPU cooling.

Its special pump-block combo features a cold plate that is tailor-made to cool delidded Intel LGA 1700 socket CPUs. As with other EK Nucleus AIOs, the latest solution offers cutting-edge cooling capacity in a sleek, compact unit that guarantees zero maintenance.

UNIQUE PUMP-BLOCK TOP

A brushed aluminum skull with an elegant circle of LED lighting that shines through gives an aggressive but mature look. 

The alternative brushed aluminum cover also features an LED circle but offers a more minimalistic appearance.

The top allows you to re-orient the D-RGB EK badge no matter in which direction the cooler is installed. The orientation can be changed in 90° increments, so if the cooler is installed upside down, rotate it 180 degrees to display the logo right side up. Regardless of the angle needed to install the AIO, it will always offer clean and aligned aesthetics.

DIRECT DIE COOLING PUMP-BLOCK

This AIO cooler features a direct-die-exclusive cooling engine that is LGA 1700 socket-specific. Use of this product requires the removal of the processor's IHS, the process popularly called Delidding. The benefit of this process is the removal of an entire layer of thermal transfer from the CPU die to the IHS, resulting in a significant reduction in overall thermals and less thermal difference between CPU cores.

A delid tool is not included in the package, but is available through EK webshop.

Addressable RGB Lighting

Customize your all-in-one system to match your setup with its fully addressable RGB lighting effects. This closed-loop liquid CPU cooler offers a plug-and-play solution with a fan-like D-RGB lighting effect around the pump top for all who search for that perfect RGB AIO aesthetics.

This product is compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers. The arrow marking on the 3-pin LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the addressable RGB (D-RGB) header.

New Positioning of Rotary Fittings

The EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 Direct Die D-RGB - 1700 comes pre-installed with reinforced and sleeved rubber tubing, now featuring finer threads. The fittings are covered with an aesthetic black radiator cover at the connection of the tubing and the radiator to ensure a sleek design and flushed line with the added fans.

The improved position of rotary fittings on the other side, which are now placed next to each other, allows the EK-Nucleus AIO to be installed in even the tightest spaces.

Sleeved Tubing

Fine sleeving is added to the tube to enrich the look of the tubing and additionally protect the inner tubing as an added layer.

Daisy-chainable Fans

To reduce cable clutter and the number of headers that need to be utilized on the motherboard or fan controller, EK-Loop FPT fans allow daisy-chaining through EK-OmniLink technology.

EK-OmniLink – allows daisy chaining of multiple fans, thus reducing cable clutter and greatly easing cable management. The Omni-Link ecosystem of interconnects will be greatly expanded in the near future, allowing additional benefits to users. It uses Micro-fit 8-pin connectors between products. The EK-OmniLink design resolves the cable clutter issues of unifying the connection of multiple fans onto a single PWM and D-RGB header while still maintaining full flexibility if the user wants to remove a single fan from the chain.

EK-Loop FPT Fans

EK-Loop Fan FPT 120 D-RGB is a 120mm high-static pressure computer cooling fan designed and built primarily for the highest-performance computer liquid cooling systems. FPT fans feature a full-frame design that prevents air from escaping outside the frame, thus achieving better static pressure.

Dense Microfin Nickel-Plated Copper Coldplate

The nickel-plated copper coldplate that touches the CPU die is made of nickel-plated copper to ensure compatibility with liquid metal. It has a dense stack of microfins that boost the thermal transfer area between the base and coolant, ensuring unparalleled cooling.

Diamond-cut Brushed Aluminum Side Panels

This AIO features an aluminum side plate put on a lathe, and part of the panel's surface is machined off to leave a shiny alloy finish.
