EK working on Predator AIO Cooler

And the concept seems sound and terrific if you ask me. EK recently has been showing the Predator AIO Cooler (all-in-one). Traditionbally EK has been focussing on LCS parts only, so this is a new one for them.



This is an AIO unit prefilled with coolant. There will be two versions, a 240mm version with no QDCs and a 360mm version with QDCs. EK will be selling pre-filled GPU blocks for reference design AMD & Nvidia PCBs with an additional pair of QDCs that can be easily added into the loop without having to add any extra coolant. 

Features:

The kit is a bit unusual as the pump get to be plugged in to a breakout box on the end of the radiator,here you can also see features like LEDs to verify power ON/OFF.  Thickness is about the width of the DDC ~62mm.  The pump is a low power 6-7W DDC.  Interesting to see is that the pump is mounted on the radiator as well. This is done to prevent them getting sued, as Asetek holds a patent on the pump/water-block design (and they will sue anyone that doesn't pay their licensing fees)

The LCS has quick couplings connectors to add/dismount gear to the loop. Not the most aesthetically pleasing solution, but handy if you want to add say a VGA card next to the CPU you are cooling in your loop.

ETA and pricing is TBA.
