Prebuilt Gaming PCs From EK Now Available in Europe

EK, the premium water cooling gear manufacturer, is proud to announce the availability of high-end, fully liquid-cooled gaming PCs for the European market. These EK-Fluid Gaming PCs are a work of art, hand-made by the master of custom loop liquid cooling. Aside from being visual masterpieces, their integrated custom cooling enables the user to exploit the maximum of what the latest hardware can offer. By liquid cooling both the CPU and GPU, the PC can easily hit and maintain its highest possible boost frequencies without breaking a sweat.

Plug And Play
Fluid Gaming PCs are the ultimate plug-and-play solution for competitive gamers and enthusiasts to whom gaming isn't just a hobby but a lifestyle. But these PCs are not just geared towards gamers, as there are practically no limits to their utilization. They pack the latest and greatest hardware, including the recently launched Intel Core i9 14th generation CPUs. Besides gaming, they can handle streaming, video editing, and 3D modeling, or can just be a visual showpiece in your office or home. With this new availability in Europe, EK's European customers are just a click away from their next-level custom water-cooled gaming experience with ZERO hassle. The starting EK Fluid Gaming PC lineup for Europe consists of three carefully selected PCs inspired by our Shop The Loop series that include: Zen Lotus, Side Task, and Digital Reef.
Not Just Any Pre-Built PC
These EK Fluid Gaming builds blur the line between PCs and art and will steal the spotlight in any room they grace. All three models feature elaborate hand-bent tubing with a minimal number of fittings used, adding to their unique aesthetics.

Each PC comes with two drain ports (for improved maintenance convenience), matching fittings, additional thermal probes (for optimizing the fan speed according to the coolant temperature), well-thought-out cable management, fans, pump profiles pre-set for optimal performance, etc.

With great attention to detail and the amount of skill and craftsmanship that goes into building these masterpieces, your brand-new gaming PC will truly be a prized possession. Each PC undergoes rigorous visual inspections and long hours of stress testing, with a load of every hardware piece carefully logged to ensure the performance and water block installation are up to spec.

A Closer Look at "Zen Lotus"
"Zen Lotus" by EK Fluid Gaming proudly boasts the latest Intel Core i9 processor 14900K paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Inside you'll find the latest generation of EK-Matrix7 compatible Reflection distribution plate and Momentum motherboard monoblock to cool the voltage regulating module. The cooling power is maximized by using an active-backplate water block on the graphics card, and with two P series radiators crammed into the Fractal Torrent, no compromises were made.

The PC itself represents a flow of disciplined energy. It's a Kung Fu warrior of the lineup - skilled and patient but deadly. Featuring top-of-the-line EK components, this PC is aesthetically superior and ready to help you dominate whatever games you're playing.

The swooping tube runs are perfectly distanced, with precise and parallel 90° bends that follow the same curvature. An interesting detail is the hidden 4th tube that can only be seen from certain angles. The number of fittings used was kept at a minimum.

Except for the green coolant color, no other detail jumps out, keeping everything balanced and justifying the build's name.
A Closer Look at "Side Task"
"Side Task" by EK Fluid Gaming is equipped with the latest AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and NVIDIA RTX 4090. It also packs the latest generation of stealthy black POM EK-Quantum CPU and GPU water blocks, ensuring low temperatures and maximum gaming performance.

Its predominantly black appearance with minimal RGB and Acetal water blocks gives it a more serious feel, while the clear orange coolant helps the straight and parallel tube runs stand out.

Besides a vertically placed GPU as an additional aesthetical detail, two ZMT drain tubes are nestled in the back. Its cooling capacity is unprecedented, and in combination with a powerful AMD-based system, it can handle ANY workload, not just for high-end gaming or streaming.
A Closer Look at "Digital Reef"
"Digital Reef" packs the latest and the best Intel gaming CPU on the market, the Core i9 processor 14900K combined with a vertically positioned NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Inside you'll find an exotic choice of cooling products, like the EK-Quantum Reflection Uni 140 mini distribution plate updated with a DDC pump and an adequate heatsink, and a monstrous X420 radiator set in push/pull with six 140 mm fans.

This PC's design will bring life to any environment with its bursting with color and high performance. The tube runs are perfectly executed and look subtle from the front. Still, as you look around the build, you discover how exciting, intricate, and organic they are, creating an underwater vibe. Its performance, however, will have a tsunami effect on your opponents.

Extra LED strips are featured inside and at the bottom of the case, creating a unique under-glow not specific to any other prebuilt PC on the market. It will make your ultimate gaming rig stand out even more!
Maintenance and Warranty
It is recommended to replace the coolant at least once a year to ensure optimal operation of these gaming PCs. Each rig has an adequate set of drain ports, with additional tubing provided to simplify the draining and filling process.

As EK wants to deliver a reliable and flawless experience to the user, any modifications to the system during the warranty period are not condoned. By performing any modification, the warranty is void.

EK grants a 3-year warranty on the delivered PCs from the date of delivery, including free pick-up and free return service for all countries of the European Union and the UK. If material or manufacturing defects that affect a PC's operation occur while under warranty, EK will pick up the defective PC or the defective component (to prevent downtime under certain circumstances) free of charge, repair or replace the PC, and then make the PC available to the user again.

Availability and Pricing
The three pre-built hyper-gaming PCs by EK Fluid Gaming - Zen Lotus, Side Task, and Digital Reef - are available for order with free shipping within the European Union and the United Kingdom. The shipping date of the first PCs is set to early November 2023.

with a quick price search i get ~3550€ incl. VAT for the PC Parts, so EK wants someone to pay around 3750€ for a Custom Loop, Labour and 3 Years of Support. That´s a little too much even for EK :kookoo:

I asked the question once and was given some reasoning around the Company having more of it's operation in Europe and as a result we get higher prices to make up for the loss in profit.

"With a quick price search" is probably the reason why you don't own a business. You should do more research about labor costs, certification costs, and other things that are involved in selling pre-built PCs in the EU.

I don't know of any other company that aims for margins even close to this high on their pre build PCs, this is laughably overpriced no matter how you spin it.

So what gives you the right to comment on the prices if you didn't bother to look at any other pre-built PC prices in the EU?

First, I don't need anyone's permission to comment on anything, thanks. Secondly, this is the equivalent of showing me a 1000$ HDMI cable and saying "See, it's perfectively reasonable to charge this much" ? Why, because you say so ? Lol, labor costs, certifications, whatever, do not amount to several thousand dollars per unit over the price of the components, it's hilarious you are even suggesting that. These businesses are charging an arm and a leg to uniformed rich customers, there is no other way to put it and that's fine I guess. But I've got no idea what why you are trying so hard to justify these price, you a rep for these companies or something ?

Maybe I'm just a, fan boy being sick and tired of comments like this. Everyone else is doing pre built custom loop PCs at this price, and the whole world is fine with it... When EK does it, OMG OMG they are nuts, they are trying to rip you off OMG bad EK.
Whenever EK releases a new fitting, it's the same story, yet no one remembers bitspower selling a single white 90 degree angled fitting for $25 years before. Or optimus selling a single GPU block for $400, but when EK is selling two blocks as an active backplate set for the same price, that's too much.

And I did show you that other Pre-built custom loop PCs cost the same and you are ignoring facts. I get it that you don't want to buy it, but obviously there is market for it. Which you would have known if you did some research.
