How does Alphacool products rate and why does OCUK not them?

I think their stuff is quality. No idea why ocuk don't sell their stuff. In Europe they seem to be one of the biggest watercooling manufacturing sellers.

To be fair, ocuk range of watercooling parts is miniscule. I can understand why as lots of stuff will sit on shelves and then have to be sold at a loss.

Specialist watercooling etailers stock a massive range. Go to one section on one size of fitting and you can get 100 choices wheres ocuk might stock 10 if you are lucky.
 
Could say the same for Bitspower and Hardware Labs, both excellent yet they have a pathetic range of Bitspower and nothing of Hardware Labs who arguably make some of the best rads you can buy. It's most likely just a supplier/money issue, and as Greebo mentions OCUK aren't a specialist WC retailer like some other places... that said however, they do have a wide range of products, some of which most people in the know wouldn't necessarily rate that highly, so as I say I think it comes down to suppliers and cost more than anything else.
 
post in the right thread this time!!!! I have 2 UT60 radiators in my rig and they have been great. Flushed easily and have great cooling performance in my opinion. Wouldn't hesitate using them again :)

Yeah i was trying to find that post as well. it was along the lines that watercooling products move quickly with new items and ocuk dont sell enough so it would be sat on the shelf etc.

I have used ocuk in an emergency if I need something quick I am missing but in general you are better off going for one of the specialist sites.

I know other uk watercooling sites who still dont stock full rand of itesm. I got an aquareus xt 6 and wanted a few things and one site i looked at sold about 10 items in the range. Found another full blown proepr watercooling site and discovered i had a choice of 20 items for the reservoir alone and there about 100 items in the range you can buy. The other site just sold the most popular items i suppose.
 
I also seem to recall OcUK had a major falling out with the Hardware Labs guys (I think) ages ago and stopped stocking their products.
