EK Water Blocks Pushing the Bar for PC Water Cooling Computer Enthusiasts

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia, Dec. 17, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- EK Water Blocks, the high-tech company from Slovenia, experienced another successful year, making the company one of the three largest in its field of PC cooling solutions, which is connected to silence and/or overclocking.

"Overclocking is the process of running a computer at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer, usually practiced by enthusiasts seeking an increase in the performance of their computers," says Edvard Konig. "Because of overclocking, the computer chips produce more heat and water cooling is ideally suited for that."

EK Water Blocks began development four years ago and within six months it had secured a worldwide distribution network for their product line. EKWB products are one of the top competing product lines, with an advanced design that offers yet another competitive advantage.

"It all started with a passion to determine the best solution to overclocking and liquid cooling. In six months, we have been able to beat the top competitors on the market, according to the initial online tests (www.overclock3d.net, www.xtremesystems.org). In 2010, EK-Supreme HF was the best CPU block for Intel™ and AMD™ processors. EKWB was the first one to offer Nvidia™ GeForce™ 580 GTX water cooling solution. Today, we are already manufacturing water cooling solution for AMD™ Radeon™ 6900 series graphic cards to be the first company ready. We are also the only company with visually supported computer hardware compatibility online systems with our products www.coolingconfigurator.com," says Edvard Konig, MD of the company.

EKWB has certainly created a sales force, which is equally forth going: "When we're looking for a top of the line cooling solution for any system hardware available we always look to EK first. Even new hardware is no problem for EK, with product release as close to hardware release as possible. Not only the most recommended product line to our customers, it is also the most used water block by our own employees. I think that says something. Top quality products and a company that backs them," says James Davis, US reseller Performance PC's.

Customer enthusiasm is a key cornerstone to sales growth. For that reason, EKWB is supporting a community of overclockers to discuss solutions on forums. Mr. Konig's idea is to be there and have an active role, answering questions and stimulating debates. Statements from their customers say it all.

"Sweet stuff EK. I love the look and quality of your products. I'm definitely going to do more business with you in the near future. It's nice to see a company dedicated to the water cooling market, coming out with great performing and looking products."

Behind all this growth is technical and business excellence, which is best illustrated by Tony Nguyen, reviewer at pureoverclock.com in 2010: "The first impression when I opened the package was similar to visiting a high-end car dealership, with the attention to detail and quality. EK Water Blocks has really stepped things up, from their corporate design and package to the aesthetics and performance of the EK Supreme HF. I was so impressed with the block quality. I inspected it several times, hoping to find some flaw that may have snuck past the quality control inspection but ultimately I could not find anything amiss."
