Finished Looks


The EKWB Predator 240 simply looks awesome. In my humble opinion, this is how an all-in-one liquid cooler should look. The black and gray scheme is neutral, and the clean industrial look is also functional. You wont find any crazy LEDs, no garish colors, or wacky designs. What you have here is a simple and elegant liquid cooler of high quality in a tidy package.


The top plate on the CPU block keeps things classy, along with the shiny silver EKWB logo. Add to that the nice compression fittings and you end up with a clean appearance that would make any standard AIO user a tad bit jealous, or so I would like to think. It doesn't hurt that clearance around the socket is good, so no worries there either.


Clearance around the socket is exceptional, which, while expected, certainly doesn't hurt. However, at 68 mm with fans and 295 mm long, the radiator is rather thick, so keep that in mind as it might not squeeze into your case if a standard AIO is already a close fit.


That said, the EK Predator 240 doesn't block any ram or expansion slots, so you won't into any problems with such tall kits as G.Skill's Trident X or Corsair's Dominator Platinums.
