**EK RELEASE THE NEW PREDATOR**

[Raelgun]

I would imagine MSI have a time exclusivity for this, but cheers for checking .

Hi,

I have been speaking with EK and at the moment they have no plans to release the unit as a GPU cooler or the unit with out the tubing.

They may look into this again but at the moment due to the MSI card release they are not planning on doing it.

It is shame they do not release the 280 or the 240 without the CPU block, only with the QDC.

Such product will allow the rest of us who have another Predator, to expand it.

Yes I agree but I think they will have a time limit on the MSI card so they will not release this type of predator until that time is up. So I do not expect anything for a while maybe around Christmas (sorry to say the word) if they do plan on doing it but we will just have to keep messaging them every so often.

Humbug

Christmas?

Did somebody say CHRISTMAS!?!

WooHoo!

Can we not have a range of extra rads 280mm x2 + CPU and GPU all in a loop!

Hi,

These have now landed in stock

Does anyone know if the EK 280 predator will fit in the top of a Corsair Air 540?

I can't think of any reason it wouldn't, as there is space for 2 140mm fans there. I don't have my 540 in front of me, but as I recall there is enough room for the rad, pump, tubes etc, as well as the 140mm fans.

Thanks for the reply, I know a standard 280 radiator would fit and the 240 predator does, wasn't sure if the extra length on the 280 predator to accommodate the built-in pump and reservoir would be an issue.

tell them to change those qdcs..... blackkkkkkk is what we need

 

[Kelt]

Yup, black would look so much better.

Ive got a new OCUK build coming to me with this next week, what waterblock would I need for the KFA HOF 1080 edition to stick on there?

Hi,

I don't think EK have a compatible water block for that card.

 

[Metalface Mark]

Monsters - that's a real disappointment.

 

[Rap1D]

Agreed black QDC's would be nice, but I can live with it for ease of card swapping

[Bantu]

What size did you go for to service both the cpu and titan?

 

[Rap1D]

Predator 280, does a good job while staying quiet, GPU temps 55c~57c (2050MHz) CPU around 65c.

Thanks, looks like ill get shot of the KFA2 when the 1080ti's come out and get something i can fit in the loop.

Anyone ever find out if the 280 fits in a corsair 540?
