ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB vs EK Nucleus AIO CR360 Lux D-RGB

[River]

Which one is better with cooling performance and ease of install on a Intel i9 14900k?

Thanks.


Yes I researched it just wondering if anyone has personal experience with either AIO? Or maybe even both.

Already have a ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB but want a little cooler temps and not sure if I am happy with it totally yet. That why I am looking at the EK Nucleus AIO CR360 Lux D-RGB too.

What kind of temps are you getting?

The Nucleus is slightly better in cooling performance and looks nicer but it's more expensive, the Liquid Freezer II is more cost effective and frankly looks better in its basic non-RGB version in an all black or black/silver system.

So far I am happy with the EK Nucleus AIO CR360!

10 to 20 C less temp around than a different AIO and can feel the heat being pumped out for sure!


Like a sauna in my computer gaming room.


This chip gets hot hot hot.


I kinda tamed it but still not 100% happy.
