** EKWB-PREDATOR - AVAILABLE NOW **

hi guys, how would I connect up two of these predators in one case for eg Im wanting to use the 360mm for the cpu only and buy a 240 to cool the gpu only, So the 360mm will connect to the cpu header etc but how would I control the 240mm would that go onto the cpu optional header

You could use the CPU OPT header (assuming it just mirrors the CPU header signal) or you could split the CPU header with a PWM splitter. This I think should work: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-551-EK or this one: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-071-AK. Both out of stock at the moment.
Had the pump in mine (presumably) fail me this morning, turned on and noticed the fans were running pretty high and looking the temps i was idling about 65c instead of the usual 25. Turned it off and took a look around, pipes were all ok, so I gave the rig a bit of a shake and that seems to have solved the issue :/ I can only think there was some air trapped in the pump (not that I have opened the unit yet). Unfortunately its kinda impossible to see if the water is moving around the circuit as the transparent part of the block doesn't give much away. I do hope this isn't going to be regular occurrence >.<

So does the 110i GT (bigger rad/fans though)

Genuine question, I wonder how quiet I can get my pc if I use one 240 for the CPU and a 360 for the GPU, would love to know.
That's my plan although I would have the 240mm for the gpu and 360mm for the cpu, and for noise it should be near silent

Just tempted to get 2x360's with the Fractal R5, that way I am set for future upgrades. The next question is, what 120mm fans would be good enough and quiet enough for this kind of setup, ideally around the 800rpm mark
Associate
The EK Vadar F1-120 1150rpm ones look great since they are PWM so they won't be running at full speed all the time.

£552 for case/coolers/fans, thats not too shabby, guess I know what I'll be buying for myself in November plus it gives me a lot of headroom for the future
Yip the EK vaders would be fine or some noiseblockers NB-eLOOPs
I've just bought the thermaltake core x9 snow edition so both my 240mm and 360mm will be on top once I get round to it, not long now until we can buy the 360mm

Realized I cannot use the EK GPU blocks, I need to use EK pre-filled GPU blocks that are coming soon so for now i'll just get the 1x360
dont get too excited about the tech labs stuff
it is a LOT of work for me right now to do to get it back and meet EKWB requirements.
So it will come, but in due course as I have some pretty large projects to work on currently that need more of my time sinking into them than the tech labs predator.
all will become clear very soon but I cant talk about it more right now.
