EK Phoenix

Anyone know if this combination would expect okay?

Currently have a 240mm radiator and CPU block. Thinking of adding later a 360mm Phoenix radiator and GPU block all in the same loop. I presume that would have two pumps, one in each radiator.

Any potential issues anyone knows of?

So far the 240mm seems very cool and quiet and, for me, easy no hassle set up.

I have a similar setup.

360 radiater module for the GPU, and a 240 module for the CPU.

I prefer mine as two seperate closed loops, but EK told me, that there would be no problem making it all into one loop.

Its a very nice system, like you say, hassle free.

Thanks for the reply. I may just run it as two separate loops as it makes no difference to me really. Fits nicely in my new PC-011 Dynamic, easy case to work on and good value for money.

All up and running. Only issue is my motherboard doesn't seem to work with the EK fans. The cpu fan header just runs them at 100%. Changed every setting possible, used a fan controller, third party software etc. With no success. Looks like I'm stuck with the noise until Ryzen 3000 drops.

Strange.....

What motherboard are you using ?

MSI P67 GD65 B3 Not the best motherboard for tinkering with and definitely conceived before all the modern coolers were a thing. The BIOS is the last one they released for it.
