It's well made, sure. But at least from the 240mm version, I haven't seen its performance from the tests so far to be enough to warrant such a price premium. The 360mm should be more interesting.

There are other coolers that perform on par with it that cost less. If money is of no concern and you want something super well built, then great go for one of these. But the price/performance value is not good.

Until the cheaper units....leak. ^^

The part I like about it, it the room for customization...and like I said above, the price will drop.

Look here: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/ek_predator_240_aio_liquid_cooling_review,10.html

The only AIO that beats it is the H110i GT which is a 280mm AIO, and is NOT customizable.



/e I DID notice that at full fan speed the EKWB Predator 240mm is 50 dBa. Which is loud as hell.

There is always the chance that an AIO will leak. Also, I shouldn't think Swiftech's parts are that inferior in comparison.

Well you know me, I would NEVER put water anywhere near a computer. BUT, aside from the noise levels, I think EK is going to have a winner with this one and with the 360mm.

Like any company, they need a little bit of time to work out a few bugs. When they are done with that, then I think you will see many, many ppl flocking to the EK AIO solutions. Especially because of the customization abilities.
