EKWB AIO Cooler

[Flanconleche]

Seems like EKWB has followed in swiftechs footsteps and did an AIO cooler

OooOooo interesting

 

If the 360mm fits in my H440, then it will be very interesting

[SurvivorNVL]

I need one.  I want one.  I will get one.  This shall make the 5960x purr.

[CydiaDash]

I want one

[Senzelian]

And it's also expandable... Not bad.

BUT... I don't think it'll sell very well. I think AIOs from Corsair and Co. will still sell much more, because they simply look at lot more appealing - at least to me.
And experienced builders will most likely still build their own loops.

[hoot.]

So technically, could I buy this and slap a XSPC Raystorm waterblock on there?

[Me1z]

Ooooh, pretty. I want like 5 of them. Dat price tag doe. I'm sure its worth every dollar because EKWB quality, but $240 is a bit out of my price range.

Yeah I think my H50 is on its last leg, because my 3770k is running at 60C with a modest 4Ghz OC. I really want a to get an X61 for my H440.

$200 for the 240mm. Hmm. Sounds pretty competitive.

[Curufinwe_wins]

The 360 is the only thing that interests me personally (too many good 240s on the market), but I'm kinda annoyed they won't be available for a long time.

Only two months of waiting.  Not like those waiting on Pascal and Zen where it is going to be a year or so away.  ;-;

Yea but are so far away to not even be concerned over. I would just prefer that companies announce products and start selling them at the same time (yes I know that's not how any of this works, but I wish it was).

I can't tell if this is sarcasm but their only real competitor in the expandable AIO market is the Swiftech 240-x and that's $150 in the U.S. rn

The Swiftech 240-x is in stock in the U.S., is also expandable and is $150 instead of $200 for the EK

The 240-x is a 280. Thank you come again. The only 360 I am aware of is a thermal fake piece of shit, so I welcome additional radiator sets.

 

Yes I understand a 360 only has 10% more SA than a 360, but I'd still rather see bigger ones become mainstream. Hell I'd love to get my hands on a 420 AiO honestly.

[SurvivorNVL]

I can't wait to see the compatible PC case list on their end for their AIO's.  Given the thickness of 68mm with fans installed.  Most cases support 55mm total of rad clearance at the top.  You'll need a rather large case for top mounting or just do front mounting.

This would walk all over any of the other 240's on the market.  I'd be willing to say it will be atleast 5 degrees better than the top AIO on the market right now.

All other 240's on the market have terrible block designs 99% of the time, and don't perform as well as a custom block from EK for instance. 

This is part of the reason why custom loops that are done well can perform over 10 degrees better than any AIO. (although price to performance is quite poor in comparison)

It may cost more, but a 240mm performing 5c better than even 280mm and 360mm AIO's is a pretty amazing thing.  Hell, overall heat should be reduced because it's not the Asteek / Coolit design of having a cheap pump right on the CPU block.  I personally have and still do find an actual custom loop to be daunting of a task, but that 360mm and the QDC is something major to consider now.  Easy watercooling that even the kids can do.  Or terrified young adults.  Or Trik'Stari.  EVEN TRIK'STARI!  @Trik'Stari  Anyway.  This should change the market around quite a bit.  Definitely will be worth every penny.

[hoot.]

I'm definitely interested in it. I may replace my 212 plus with this once it comes out, and throw a nicer looking waterblock on it. (That's possible, correct?)

[bcredeur97]

hmmm im kinda interested since im thinking about delidding my cpu and may or may not need a better cooler if I hit a temp wall again.

 

Need to find someone with a big vice first though...

 

 

and I have a feeling this is going to be too expensive.

[VagabondWraith]

Hmmmm.... looks interesting. Would this be worth getting to replace a Corsair H110? If so, I'm definitely gonna get one.
