I've got a P360M in the top of my EVO and a P280M in the side. I've just got fans in the bottom.
I took the top fan mount out and screwed my 360 on as far left (away from distro) as it would go. Fitted a 90 degree rotary to each down facing port and then one of the new fancy push in fittings to each 90.
Then after lubricating each push fitting seals place the rad back into the top of the case (bit a 3d puzzle but it does go).
As you push the rad bracket onto it's mounts the push-in fittings should go into the holes and your done. This does require a bit of force to get it all completely into your distro so you can screw the bracket in again.
If you are just going top and bottom rads the second push fit goes into the next hole down so an extender is needed before adding the 90.

Looks good there, are you going to be cooling the graphics card or doing another short connection with 90s in the middle?
And has anyone successfully put a P360M in the low position using fittings directly on the Evo? It looks to me like the alignment is out with no space for offsets to fit even when the rad is pushed all the way back as far as it would go (hitting the side clips and back of case). On their own flipped evo build they appear to have had to route the tubes across to the other side (top is bottom: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/stl-dragon-blood).
Yeah I thought it looked good until you see it next to the case quiet, which is much whiter

Yes I'm going to cool the GPU. I'm moving my current water cooled one over.
With the bottom rad it does seem that you have tube across, looked really tight to me.
EK support are quite good and will tell you which connectors are required for each rad type in each position. They have a sort of connection bible for each distro.

Mine is inverted so as per the EKWB build.Looks good there, are you going to be cooling the graphics card or doing another short connection with 90s in the middle?

My assumption was you would have to do the tube runs to the opposite side for the rad in that position (otherwise there would be provisions for push in Fittings at the top and bottom of the distro?).
A few minor annoyances with the build so far with my CPU and GPU blocks being way out of alignment with the distro ports. Waiting on some extra extenders and offset adapters.
Getting there though
And just to confirm for anyone else in the future, the cross flow roads were definitely the issue.Never mind me…..think I figured it.
The new cross flow surface rads from EK are a bit longer than the standard. I think that must be the issue
Standard ones now fitted just fine
