EK AIO Tear-Down & Disassembly vs. Arctic Liquid Freezer II, NZXT Kraken X63

We're taking apart the EK AIO D-RGB CPU cooler to see how it works, following-up on our previous review of the EK AIO 240 & 360 closed-loop liquid coolers. Here's the EK AIO tear-down.

The internals start to paint a better picture as to why EK had the leading performance it had for its CLC, although still has Arctic to tee-off against once we get the 360mm variant of the LFII in. Support GN directly and get something in return: Our GamersNexus Wireframe Mouse Mat is a 36" x 12" (91 x 30cm) smooth mousing surface with a blue rubber underside, blue border stitching to prevent fraying, and PC components in 3D wireframe layout. We spent ten months perfecting the quality of these and have them on back-order now: https://store.gamersnexus.net/product... Article: https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews...
