I was thinking of getting an AIO unit for my CPU and noticed the above are all massively reduced on OcUK, how good are the units? I can't seem to find many reviews for them.
 
I Purchased the 'EK-MLC Phoenix' with the 360 radiator option, from Overclockers a few weeks ago.

I also have the one before it, the 'Predator' with the 360 radiator option, and a QDC water block
on my GPU (1070) as well.

I think they are great units, never had any trouble, with either of them.

Both are very quiet, and excellent at keeping temperatures under control.

And you also have the option, to add in a QDC GPU water block in the future, if you
so wish.
 
Is was looking at the Phoenix but went for a Celcius S24 @ £88 in the end, you can also add a GPU water block and res to this unit...

The S24 radiator also has proper 1/4" metal fittings...

Also look at Alphacool Eisbaer.

If the Phoenix doesn't have issues with leaks that plagued the predator, it should be a very good cooler indeed. The predators were prone to an o-ring failure on the CPU block, or cracking, and the pump was another potential point of leaks. The performance however was superb. I loved mine until it leaked. To be fair to EK, I haven't seen much evidence of the phoenix suffering from the problems that the predator had, and the no drip quick fittings would make it easier to maintain/expand.
 
Thanks for the advise guys, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and grab one, it should fit in an Entho Evolv ITX case right? It's the 280mm version I'm looking at.

Also, it requires molex for power however my PC only has SATA power, can anyone link me to a suitable adapter?
 
Its SATA.I tested this unit its working well without issues for me and good cooling performance too.
