EKWB EK-Kit RGB 240 Cooler Review: Top-Shelf Looks and Performance
EK WaterBlocks offers a high-quality, 240 watercooling component kit with RGB lighting glory that cools just as well as it looks in the EK-KIT RGB 240. All said and done, this 2x 120mm kit provided the professional appearance and configuration flexibility of an open loop with the performance of a 3x 120mm AIO system.
VERDICT
The EKWB EK-Kit RGB 240 looks and performs like the top-shelf cooling system it is, garnished with a premium price tag. In fact, price might just be the only thing keeping it from a perfect 5 rating.
Premium-quality watercooling commands great attention to component design, presentation and thermal load performance, but system builders also know that premium components command premium prices. EKWB checks every single one of these boxes (twice) on its way to watercooling bliss with their EK-Kit RGB 240, a complete boxed kit that boasts top-quality performance parts all the way around.
EKWB ships the EK-KIT RGB 240 with an impressive assortment of mounting hardware and components to cover a wide range of Intel CPU sockets, but provides support for AMD’s AM4 processors only. Tubing, fittings, a pump, thermal compound, mounting brackets and fan and RGB splitters accompany high-end cooling components to round out an impressive assortment of hardware. EK also includes a 24-pin ATX jumper to assist in filling and leak testing the system. Plus, there“s a 100ml bottle of EK coolant concentrate; so like the old adage says, just add water.
