Ok noted..... lol

Anyway, for fittings i will still trust bitspower against ek for that.

Ek feels light and cheap. Even the rotating fittings just feels easy to rotate and feels like inside the oring doesnt last.

If you did take out a ek fitting and bp fitting. It is kinda a lot of difference especially the amount of brass bp used.

EK is famous for their custom coolings. Corsair is famous for their AIO coolings.

How to compare.

One year on and no issues with EKs fittings, tubing and blocks.

And, bubbles? If you filled it yourself, I got nothing to say. And at least you can do something to reduce the air pockets by relieving the air pressure inside and adding more coolant. You can't do that with Corsair and they got no clear parts how you know got no bubbles?

Filled by EK. My is Pre-filled version.
Lucky you
Predator 360 is known to leak.
Got to wait for my RMA
At least, zero shipping cost
My stock cooler suddenly become cool
With mx4 thermal paste and two 140mm fans blowing at it
My Overwatch temp from 76-77 degree with 90% fan speed down to 58/60 degree
With 90% fan speed
Anyone got the same as well?
Just add 2 fans and mx4 thermal paste!
