all EKWB radiators are out of date... they have to update the whole series, or lower the price!

Why there's no EKWB performance results ?
I had tested the EK-Coolstream XE, PE, SE in 480 mm sizes on my website before. This is a new database for 360 mm radiators, and when EK gets new radiators out I will gladly review them here too :)

Outstanding review from an outstanding reviewer. :)

Wow, Corsair seems to be making very intelligent decisions with this new XR7 series.

Have so many Hardware Labs SR2 Multiports laying around, still believe they have to coolest best looking most industrial aesthetic for a radiator, even though they're more suited for enthusiasts interested in low or no noise water loops.

8 water ports gives so many build options, maybe Corsair will do a multiport. ;)

Again, excellent and thorough review.

That's the EK design philosophy... Less performance for more moneys!

These are making some good headway in what rads to get for my upcoming build so thank you :)

Always like to find out what's out there.. I don't like just sticking to one thing but the last time I bought anything for water cooling was back in the day of Thermochill rads! :)

Great review as always :)
