Looking at this as a possible option as the fans on my strix cards are really getting annoying. Would this be capable of doing a good job of cooling these components or would it struggle? Pretty pricey with the 2 gpu blocks but its not all that much cheaper going with a load of separate components.
 
I had one and the pump started playing up after 2 weeks, sent it back and went full custom loop but it handled my 5820k and a single Titan X ok
 
Gerard, you need to consider that the QDC connection adds additional resistance to the loop and will reduce effectiveness.

EK advise that if you're going with 2 or more GPUs to use a separate stronger pump than the default supplied in the Predator unit.

Obviously talking about the 360 unit here. You may also find that you would want to add in some additional radiator real estate as the 'standard' recommendation is 120mm per item with a spare 120mm. e.g. 1 x 360 will be fine for a CPU and GPU. You would find that the additional GPU would reduce overall system cooling effectiveness, but it's really the 2 sets of QDC that would cause the most concern off the standard pump.
 
Hmm, think i might make a spec me thread to see what options there is, i think a 240 rad for just the gpu's would probably be fine as the hybrids do ok with a 120mm fan\rad combo. My cpu is already cooled by a h100 so only really the gpu's need it.
