While there may have been other companies to bring forth the concept of the AIO system that is customizable and adaptable, but to date, they are offering the most high-end and best performance of any custom water cooling loop we have tested. Even though...

Outstanding thermal performance, Very quiet operation, Rocksolid build quality, Ability to customize/expand, Minor weaknesses, Very large size could present an issue in some cases, Price relative to selfcontained cooler market, Added degree of difficulty
The Predator 240 is only compatible with Intel processors, and there's actually a little work to do before it can be installed on your motherboard.
The EK-XLC Predator 240 is built like a tank, offers very quiet operation, and cools really, really well. The drawbacks are higher than average cost for a closed-loop cooler at $199.95, a more involved (and intimidating) installation due to the LGA socket...

According to EKWB, they wanted the EK-XLC Predator 240 to be a design focused on the "enthusiast level AIO cooler" segment, made of high performance components that would mimic the performance of a custom liquid cooling system. While we cannot claim that...
You would have to have this beast in your hands to understand that EKWB weren't kidding when they talked about “quality parts” and “no compromises made.” They weren't kidding. This is one premium water cooling system. Talk on the web emphasizes the qual...

In the introduction we wondered whether the EK Predator 240 would represent something where the whole was greater than the sum of its parts. The reason for this is that the "parts" in this case are all taken from EKs extensive inventory. The radiator, for...
Second To None Build Quality, Excellent Top Of The Line Cooling Efficiency, Expandable / Future proof (Can Add Extra Radiators, GPU waterblocks, CPU waterblocks, Pumps), Powerful Laing DDC Pump (180 l/h?), SATA Power Connector, ,
No Control Software, Slightly Loud At Full Speed, Intel Only,
The EK-XLC Predator 240 by EK Waterblocks is actually not the first “hybrid” to reach our lab since prior to that we had the opportunity to check the Eisberg 240 by Alphacool. However unlike the Eisberg 240 not only does the EK-XLC Predator 240...

EKWB has been around for well over a decade, providing the enthusiast market with high-end water cooling parts to satisfy the enthusiast's extreme cooling needs. Up until today, you could only purchase parts or ready-to-assemble kits. Not everyone is up t...

It's really not much of a surprise that EK's solution is the better performing one. It's essentially their best separate components combined for a real water cooling system made accessible to everyone. It cools like beast, looks like a beast, and it's an...
Abstract: From the EKWB website: In 1999, Edvard König bought his first computer. Soon he had realized that air cooling is not enough to cool his highly overclocked computer. So he tried to find an appropriate substitute. He found out about water cooling and short...

First, I want to hit on price. Yes, the EKWB Predator 240 is $199.99 USD and yes, you can buy X model from X vendor for less. EK is aiming at the upper end of the AIO segment. If you take the cost of the radiator, waterblock, and a similar pump (as of now...
