EK Predator 240 AIO Liquid Cooling review





There's a new AOI player in the arena, EK now is offering the Predator series liquid coolers. We test the Predator 240 which is an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler for cases with 240 mm radiator mounts. Armed with a nice thick radiator, proper tubing and an excellent water-block the pre-filled and fitted kit is easy to install, and yes... impressive from any point of view we tested it!

There is another good point of this product design. It can be used for posseidon style hybrid cooled GPU's.
And about the FAN placement... a very tough question. It has to be proven by practice, and most often it has no difference. Or you have to simulate it.

From reading the review I can't see any compelling reason to choose this cooler over the Corsair H110i GT, which retails for about half the price.
Comparing the reviews and results it seems that the Corsair H110i GT does a slightly better job at cooling and even though the noise is a little higher, it is still well under the threshold of being 'silent'.

Well I missed something, but could see any words about the pump noise?

The following page shows that the EK Predator is a little quieter than the Corsair at idle and both are 38dBA under load.
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/ek_predator_240_aio_liquid_cooling_review,11.html
As per the information on the page 'So if you want silence then up-to 39~40 dBA is your baseline threshold.'.
So ultimately both are silent designs with the only obvious differences being the Corsair was able to consistently achieve slightly lower temperatures (1C to 3C) at half the cost.

Is it me or does having hi static pressure fans on backwards kind of make having hi static pressure fans redundant if they're just being used to suck air through the rads fins instead of pushing air through them
