EK rolls out five watercooling kits
EK Water Blocks came with price advantage kits including different configurations of fully equipped water cooling systems.
Although EK Water Blocks is popular primarily for its extremely comprehensive and very fine water cooler components, the manufacturer has greatly expanded its production line in recent years. And finally, the company came with price advantage kits including different configurations of fully equipped water cooling systems.
The EK-KIT H3O series products are basic water-cooling kits dedicated to all users that seek simple, yet quality and efficient all in one solution. Kits are easy to install, use and maintain (thorough installation manual is included). They can efficiently cool high-end CPU’s with optimum thermal performance and extremely low noise level. CPU blocks are compatible with Intel and AMD processors. Since these are CPU only kits, GPU water-cooling components are not included, however, kits can be upgraded with an additional EK-VGA Supreme HF, EK-FB or EK-FC series waterblock or more radiators to increase cooling performance.
EK-KIT H3O line-up consist of five kits that include:
- CPU waterblock (EK-Supreme LT-UNI or EK-Supreme HF) with great cooling performance. Both CPU blocks are equipped with a transparent lid so you can see the water flow of the UV-active liquid inside the block. Moreover, they offers a very high CPU compatibility.
- Radiator of different sizes (120, 240 or 360). Bigger rads provide more cooling performance, as the can dissipate more heat. For example, a 360 rad can even well handle CPU and GPU in a single loop.
- Radiators are cooled with high-speed 120mm fans included in kits too.
- Pump, either DCP 2.2 or DCP 4.0, to provide water circulation in the loop and, therefore, to support heat transfer.
- Reservoirs. In order to give the pump enough liquid to function well, a reservoir should be placed just before the pump in the loop. Kits feature EK-Reservoir Combo for DCP 2.2 pump or well known EK-Multioption RES X2 for kits with DCP 4.0 pump.
- And off cource, you need tubing and fittings to connect all components in to a single loop water-cooling system. EK equips these kits with 2 meters of tubing, which is fairly enough for a CPU only loop, and nickel plated EK compression fittings, for safe and easy tube routing. In additions, kits come UV-active concentrate coolant to give you system a perfect finish.
- Other accessories like, pump mounting plate kit, TIM and backplate

Important notification:
- List of components may be subject to change in future according to EKWB’s best practices.
- To make the kit functional user needs 1l of distilled water, which can be found in every supermarket and petrol station.
- EKWB recommends using “EK-KIT H3O — Supreme LT 120” only for CPU water cooling. If customer wants to cool also motherboard or VGA card please use kit with at least “EK-CoolStream RAD XT 240” radiator with two 120mm fans.
- EKWB recommends use of fan regulation adapters in case your motherboard does not support fan speed regulation. Such devices are not included in kit. They can be purchased separately.
Kits are already available for purchase from EK-shop and other retailers.
