EK water blocks - in Financial trouble and imploding

[maflynn]

Looks like some drama is occurring with EK, not sure how many folks here know them. They are generally highly regarded in the modding community, as they make custom water cooling solutions

Gamer Nexus published this expose yesterday, and its quite damning. Employees not getting paid, vendors not getting paid, ex-employees being threatened with lawsuits if they say anything.

Toms Hardware also pick up on it
EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray — many employees and suppliers were allegedly left unpaid for as long as four months

ehhh in the WC community they are seen as overpriced for what they offer.
My rig is using all EK water-cooling parts, mostly because they are a known brand. I just this past xmas redid my water loop switching from a TBE 200 to a FLT 120.

I never heard of the company before watching that show. I had to look them up. I'm never going to do water cooling.

WC is fun (and potentially expensive, lol)

Part II of the EK issues, and like other expose videos, they went very in depth..

Here's EK's official response (it predates this video).

When GN comes after you, you either ask them how they can fix it or go out of business.
