^^^ agreed. I've been on air since my 2nd H80i had it's pump crap out. it would be nice to purchase a AIO cooler that's built well.

The performance should be as good as a custom H2o loop made with EK components. ( And who are on the top of of waterblock, rads performances )
Its funny, they was provide kits allready but not prebuilds ( All parts selectionned for build a h2o loops in a box ).
Its a good way to create an high performance prebuild / pre filled H2o kit. Even if i can imagine the price will be way higher than some other kits in the market.
The only thing i can think is about the liquid used for the prefilling...

Great, this will be popular for sure!
I'm eyeing 240 version, but price 200€, well.. Ok if it delivers then nvm the price 😀

If the temps are good and performance is quiet enough, I will glady spend to get this as a replacement for my h100. Especially considering you can splice in a gpu.. Awesome stuff!

...want!
It's about time we get an option for a decent AIO. Swiftec tried but it was meh of a product hope EK delivers.

It should, basically all parts are the one used on their performance H2o parts..
- Waterblock is the same you can buy for your h2o custom loop. ( its not their top part, but it is still really good, its just a reduced cost version of the EVO, mostly on the backplate and packaging ( jet plate ), but performances are really close. https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-supremacy-mx
- The Pump is a Laing 3.2 DDC similar of the one many are using in their custom loop : https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-ddc-3-2-pwm-laing-ddc-3-2-pwm
- The rad is the PE 240 or 360 https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-coolstream-pe-360-triple .. Their best rads are the XE, but they are really really fat ( i have one, and it was a miracle my rams dont touch the fan )
If they had use the top parts, the price will have been too high.. Im not really a fan of PWM pumps, i hope the idle temp of the water / liquid will not be too high ( but this should be controllable ).
The result should be on paar with good custom H2o loop.

hmm maybe i will upgrade from using my h80i finally.

I would venture to say this price is actually very good considering the quality of parts used.
My only question is what do they come pre-filled with?

This is the first AIO that I've genuinely been interested in.

Good, our sample will be in by next week. Expect a nice review.

Have to agree it's an interesting AIO cooler.

Reminds me of my old Swiftech H220, except this one has a quick connect hose to expand easier. That was the best cooling i had really intill the sealing started to leak around the waterblock which also housed the pump, then had to send the part to swiftech which took THREE months to get a replacement. Of course i didn't wait that long so bought Aphogee block and a XSPC pump and bay which was the biggest steaming pile of s**t ever made, leaks and pumps fails after a few months gone through 3 intill i gone f**k it and went back to my Silver arrow.
Tried the Corsair H110 too thats crap more or less the same performance as my SIlver arrow but 3x louder even at it's lowest setting completely unbearable got rid of that in under a week.
Maybe my Silver arrow has spoilt me since the fans run at 300~500rpms the same for my case fans that i could never go watercooling again cause i find the pumps far to loud!

:eek3: Awesome! I'am really interested in this if it beats the competition, plus the EK Vardar fans are good tooI heard, this sounds really promising, can't wait to see the review, hope you get the whole line up to 360 !

I would assume it's a propylene glycol mixture with some sort of corrosion inhibitor. My only gripe about this kit is the QD's
ScoobyDooby
Waiting on the review.. cmon Hilbert, drop the sickness!

The h100 were problematic (early units) and I had to send back 3 of them until I got one with a good pump.
once I did though, that unit has been in my system and has been awesome since and the pump is almost completely inaudible. The fans that come with it though, for sure.. no bueno. Once I threw on a couple quieter low rpm 120s it was far far better. Even with it only in push (2x120mm at the lowest rpm they will go) it still keeps my SB @ 4.6 with sub 40c idle temps in a hot room.
Definitely been very happy with it, however, this EK offering definitely looks like a cut above. Expandability is very attractive as well.

That looks sick. Looking forward to seeing how it compares to my triple Rad AIO.
