Hi Guys

From tomorrow onward we will have Watercool [Heatkiller] relisted on the store page.

I am putting the finishing touches to the product listings at the moment and finalizing our order.

Needless to say, the range will include their massively popular CPU and VGA watercooling solutions as well as a selection of their Radiators and Mainboard cooling solutions.

Following on from a lot of updates to our watercooling range including revamped OcUK Tech Labs products as well as new Bitspower products, Watercool is the latest brand for OcUK that will top off an already impressive high end portfolio

Go and check out their homepage here to get a feeling for the range and the products we will be stocking.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask and I will do my best to answer

I'd have waited a couple weeks if I'd have known unfortunately I was told these weren't being looked into. Had to order other blocks elsewhere in the end would have much preferred to order watercool blocks from you guys

I remember speaking to you about it.

In honesty, I have been looking at a few brands. Watercool is a brand that has traditionally had poor sales in the UK. I feel that this is essentially down to the price.

Truth be told, the Watercool range is in the same league as Aquacomputer. It is really high end and not in the same sort of mainstream category as EK and XSPC.

The reason I have decided to take the brand on again is literally down to two things.
1. the success of the watercooling range at OcUK means that a brand with slower sales due to its premium nature is now an option

2. demand via the customer service forums had increased to the point where it couldn't be ignored.

In short, it is down to you guys. 99% of the time, the product suggestion forums highlights products that we already know about as we get industry information long before it is available to the public, but occasionally we spot trends on things that we know about but dont list.

you guys asked for it, so I have set it up.

I will update the OP with some info when the range goes on the website today.

some very valid points.

In honesty, the performance is normally something brought into question. There is no denying that the aesthetic of the Watercool products is their main selling point and that companies like EK and XSPC are more active in aggressively chasing performance figures.

The thing you need to remember, is that Watercool and Aquacomputer are manufactured in Germany. the average wage bill, shipping and raw material cost in Germany is much higher than Slovenia [EK] and China [XSPC].

You raise a very good point on the mounting brackets. I will raise this with them now and see if OcUK can offer a solution.

Appreciate your input :)
 
Point taken. All of this info is important.
Obviously I see all of this being a product specialist, but ultimately it is the customers perceptions that should matter most to the manufacturers.

I will ensure this info gets across to Watercool

I have updated the OP with links to the CPU and VGA blocks range.

stock is on order and will be around 5-7 days.
