Oh boy! I've been waiting for this for a while now. It sounds very promising. I just hope they change the look of the products. The first gen radiators looked a bit weird with their mat black hoses and ugly grey QDC fittings.

This sounds cool! But I wonder why they discontinued the XLC series now already if the MLC series isn't available until Q2. Especially considering the fact that the 140/280mm series was only just released. It reached end-of-life after only being on the market for 3 months or so. Maybe there were some issues with the QLC series? I heard EK was pumping out new revision after new revision for the 280mm version.
Edit: it indeed seems there were many complaints about the 280 leaking. I think this is why they discontinued the XLC series, honestly.
Good PR move, though.

Nothing beats the looks of a well planned loop using hard tubing, quick disconnect fittings look hideous. A modular full kit just means MOAR quick disconnect fitting. 😛uke2:

My loop is ugly....but it's effective. I considered an EK AIO, but found I could assembly a loop on my own for considerably less money.

And here I was thinking to get me EK-XLC Predator 240.. that 169€ looked ok now 🤓 I wonder what kind of pricing will this MLC have.. would be great if it were the same, but kind of doubt it.
At their page its very mysterious atm 😀

when I looked for XLC 240 it already got a status end of life

I've been living with my EK 360 for a year. I would go with them again in a heartbeat. Even if I had to kneel inside my case to install it as I suspect I would. Again.

QDC's are good for changing a GPU on a custom loop, saves you loads of time draining and refilling the entire loop. That is all there good for.

As someone who has a the EK-240 1.1 AIO - I've been very happy with it. No problems and cools my CPU & GPU no issue.
Would certainly use them again - don't trust myself with making my own, ever since I wiped out a 6990 back in the day

I've been trying to get my hands on a EK-XLC 140mm for since last year and the webpage has had them listed as out of stock. Now EK says they are no longer being sold and that the EK-MLC series will be released sometime in Q2-2017 with no hard release dates provided. EK's marketing people need to understand that people don't appreciate being misinformed about their products availability. Honesty isn't just the best way, it's the only way.
