Am i being really blind, but I've spent a good half an hour looking for this on OCUK and i cannot find it, only a couple of b grade waterblocks.

Do they still sell it? I can't be bothered with a full loop anymore but still want the GPU in the loop.

It is EOL. The new generation is coming in the Summer.

savagesam117 · 29 Mar 2017 at 10:18

Oh that's no fun

Aloha cool used to do a version, is that still about?

VKleita · 29 Mar 2017 at 12:58

I think pretty much everyone has gone for a redesign this summer it feels, The terrible failure of the EK predator and its leaking issues means everyone has gone back and had a look at their designs.

Even EVGA will be releasing a quick connect water filled system this summer I think!

savagesam117 · 29 Mar 2017 at 13:01

That's rubbish! Looks like I'll have to build a proper look for go for a h100 or something.

I might stay air cooled and pick something up in the summer then

Eisbaer and Eiswolf, latter being GPU AIO- also used in Silent Loop. Using that myself to drive a Phanteks GPU block and 240 Rad with water temps of 28c-32c under load, room temp of 19c

Eisbaer does have a bit of a hum but has more pressure head then the eiswolf, also the kit comes with QDC unlike Silent loop version

That's it, i knew that it was something like that it but i couldn't quite put my finger on it, I'll have a Google. Thanks

I will be interested if EK or anyone offers 5 year warranty. Then at least I know they did a good job designing it as they are confident enough in their product to offer such a long warranty. EK Predator only had like a 1 year warranty I think, maybe 2, clearly they knew something was up.

But first I will wait at least 6 months to let the masses beta test it for me

Will you guys be selling this soon? If you get the chance, pass them along feedback. We want better warranty! If they do that I will buy one release

Hi,

We will have them as soon as they are released. I will hope they provide better warranty but I will pass on the feedback for sure.

Any word on the release of this? They must be taking their time doing QC after what happened to the last Predator, hope they get it right and it comes out soon with 5 years warranty.

I think 5 might be asking a little much but certainly better than than the original that was 1 year I think?

Robbie_G · 10 Jul 2017 at 11:15

Hi,

The original plan was Q3 so it can't be long now.

Was 2 in places I saw last, but I believe originally was 1 maybe. I don't think 5 is asking much if they are confident in their product like other manufacturers like NZXT and Corsair.

Agree. I've purchased two liquid AIOs, an Antec and a Corsair, both with 5 year warranty. I will also definitely consider NZXT with 6. You know if there's a leak, you're covered for damages to other parts in your system within that time. As nice as some look and probably perform, I personally wouldn't buy a liquid cooler I could only use comfortably for 3 years (some offer even less) before feeling on edge about damages any day and no warranty. I don't change CPU/mobo all that often, and when I do change graphics card, I don't want a liquid cooler with no warranty in the same case with it.

FWIW.

VKleita · 10 Jul 2017 at 13:34

I didnt realise the nzxt was 6 years.

In which case, yes everyone else needs to shape up and offer the same or go home!

Still no news on the new Predator range? I thought it was the EK-MLC range which would be replacing the Predator, and this was announced back in January. Seems to have been no update since then unless I missed it...?

VKleita · 31 Jul 2017 at 18:02

They said Q 3 so thats in theory July, August, Sept.

So they have a little ways yet before they have to commit

iMik · 1 Aug 2017 at 06:08

It's delayed to Q4.
