Jays 2 pennies worth has had his full review up all day, of the 240mm the results are pretty sweet, there is one little problem with the mounting though, but only on Asrock, and Gigabyte 2011 motherboards. I won't spoil it for you all though.

It is rather sexy looking and it has a nice little PWM pump and fan board, sadly only for 2 fans, and not for push pull, unless there is enough head room for a a 2 way splitter on each fan connector.

Having watched that, surely it would have been easier to grab a hack saw and trim the 115X part of the bolt than risk drilling a motherboard.

There may be no traces on the surface but there may be some inside you cant see.
 
So I get the impression that for just a CPU, the 240 is more than adequate and does a great job... for a CPU + x1 GPU the 360 is the way to go, and if you want to add another GPU in to the mix, then you would need another rad which would require extra tubing and fixings, more faffing around and consequently getting in to the realms of regular WC'ing which is probably what most buyers of an AIO want to avoid in the first place (albeit somewhat easier)?

You should not need to start cutting up the screws surely EK can supply long and short screws?
 
@ Kelt - Thanks for the reply. How do you find that AIO ? Any good ? Have never used a water cooler of any sort - last 3 cooler have been CM 212 Evo, NH-D14 and NH-D15.
Really tempted by the 360.

@Mike - thank you for the diagram - I will measure up in the morning when I can get at my PC.

Cheers for the responses !

That too but I was referring to Jay's broken logic in his video.

What would you risk wrecking:

4x 1 cent clips
4x 10 cent screws
1x $150 motherboard

O wait....

EK support recommended EK-Supremacy EVO*PreciseMount*kit for people with incompatible motherboards although EK say that it's only gigabyte and asrock my Asus x99 deluxe doesn't have the mount holes going right through so I could always drill them out lol

I wouldn't drill any holes. There are very likely to be traces running where the holes are, unless you are 100% sure that there aren't any there.
 
In the middle of an x99 build and realised that the NH-D15 I was putting in just doesn't fit properly on my motherboard, it'd be way to close to the graphics card 'if' I could get the card in - so much for checking compatibility with Noctua :rolleyes: The alternative is to go AIO, fancying the Predator 240mm just wondering how quiet they are - I've seen performance benchmarks but not noticed anything about noise yet.

Hi guys,long time lurker first time posting.I was hoping you might be able to help me.I preordered the 240 Predator, thing is I have a fractal define R5 bo edition and I am thinking that I may not be able to clear the ram, if I mount it in the roof.I am using http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9b .I am thinking I may have to buy some low profile ram?

It will be fine since the rad spacing is offset, meaning it is closer to the left hand side/windowed side of the case than it is to the motherboard.

Have a look at the spacing and you will see.
