EK Waterblock Packages

JW1993 · 3 Jan 2011 at 15:44

Just wondering if anyones seen them and their opinions on them?

They seem pretty good value for money but i'm not sure how good they are.

Have seen these, definatly one of the best kits available. EK make some quality bits.

Jokester · 3 Jan 2011 at 16:29

Come in a nice trendy orange sleeved box now as well. Heard rumours that quality had suffered recently though?

If i was going to just buy a Kit it would probably be from EK.

Any linkys?

I haven't seen any complaints and have always found there blocks to be good.

Edit: I had only seen the ones from EK site, the others that come up from different etailers dont look as good.

Theres a couple of kits on there website but I don't know if i'm allowed to link. Theres a couple of 360mm kits im looking at. Just wanted some opinions

MIPS are also good. ^Sorry to hear that Jokester, hopefully a bad batch rather than deliberate cost cutting

Thanks for pointing these out. I might go for one. Only problem is external rad mounting.

JW1993 · 3 Jan 2011 at 19:39

Oh, the rads have to be mounted externally?

David41 · 3 Jan 2011 at 19:43

No, sorry should have been clearer. I would have to because my case is too small.

JW1993 · 3 Jan 2011 at 19:45

Ar right i see

Does anyone know if these are available to purchase in the uk?

Postage to uk is about £20

David41 · 3 Jan 2011 at 19:52

I doubt it, but I suppose the money that you save buying the kit justifies the
expensive delivery.

There is a useful chart here which shows what you get in each package. I've never really
been able to justify water cooling to myself before, and I still can't but these kits
are very tempting indeed.

JW1993 · 3 Jan 2011 at 20:00

Thanks

I'll probably be going for the most expensive one, but i need a bigger case first.

Probably come to around £200 including shipping which doesnt seem too bad

No need to unless u plan on cooling a Gpu too.

The 160 euro one is more then enough for a decent cpu only loop. Heck its not even to far off what my loop is, and the kit has a better pump then mine.

JW1993 · 3 Jan 2011 at 20:13

I'll probably upgrade my gpu to a better one, im not sure though just thoughts for now. Aparantly theres a dominator ram w/cooler coming out this month. Not necessary, but why not.

JW1993 · 19 Jan 2011 at 16:50

Just ordered one

I'll let you's know how it goes

Sayso · 19 Jan 2011 at 18:34

Nice take some photos of the unpacking and if you have time do a review

JW1993 · 19 Jan 2011 at 18:46

Will do

Should be here tomorrow but I might not get time until friday or saturday or something.
Theres only one retailer in the UK that has them by the looks of it and i've just bought the last one :O

OLDPHART · 19 Jan 2011 at 19:52

Using one myself its well packaged and quality is very good.

JW1993 · 19 Jan 2011 at 20:36

Oh good, excited now, must be a toon trend
