So, I'm gathering parts for my new build and I've been looking at the Swiftech coolers, I've seen Linus use them a lot in his builds and he also seems pretty much to love them. but I've seen some bad reviews about them on Amazon.

specifically this model: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Swiftech-H240-X2-CPU-Watercooling-Kit/dp/B01AOF4KGK/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1469119624&sr=1-1&keywords=swiftech

 

Do any of you have some experience with Swiftech? how good are they? any leakage? malfunctions?

I've been looking at the same thing to replace my old Swifttech H220 (not the X2/x2 prestige version). The H220 has worked well for 3-3.5 years now. But I worried when I saw a lot of reviews of leaks within the package and issues with o rings I believe. The other thing that worries me about getting the new prestige ones (I have to admit they look awesome) is that the complaints/forums of Swifttech seem very quiet in terms of responses. I worry about the customer service and lack of answers as to when a new batch with good parts would be released (or if it already is). I have not tried contacting them and asking however.

EK Predator 240 and 360 are better than the Swiftech. More reliable and perform better. Not cheap though. These are closer to custom loop than the Swiftech.
