EK Luc got a reaction from BobbyPdue in EKWB A240G compatibility and expandability
Sorry, the SC2 isn't compatible with the block included in the A240G.
We don't even have (and don't plan on making one) a copper block that is compatible with the SC2.
Here's the list of compatible cards with the block in the A240G kit : https://www.ekwb.com/configurator/waterblock/3831109890769

We'll have separate Aluminum components available later this year.

EK Luc got a reaction from Beorhthere in Watercooling a Titan Xp Star Wars Collector's Edition?
Like @EbinNator2044 mentioned, there's a possible issue with the LED header and it's why we can't say it's compatible. But if you're willing to "modify" your card (shave a bit of your LED header), it should fit.

EK Luc reacted to XPLSV in Watercooling a Titan Xp Star Wars Collector's Edition?
I disassembled my card last night and put on the EKWB waterblock and backplate. I have the Galactic Empire edition of the Star Wars Collector's Titan Xp card. As EbinNator2044 experienced, it was pretty straightforward according to the included EKWB instructions. I will note that when removing the attached Star Wars backplate, two of the small screws are covered by EKWB stickers attached to the backplate: I simply embedded my small phillips screwdriver into the sticker and contacted the screw head. The two LED header connections are also the same; although when removing the shroud, the connection to the one LED header (which I will call LED Header 1) was well connected and I had grabbed it with a needle nose pliers to ensure I did not apply excess shearing torque to it while disconnecting the card from the shroud. There is also the typical fan connector wire, which is easier to reach in and disconnect. The test fit showed the waterblock to be sitting flush, just as EbinNator2044 stated, but I decided to shave a bit of the height off the top of the one LED header (LED Header 1), as it was exposed and easy to do, just to ensure clearance. I simply used a sharp hobby knife blade. I put an EKWB gold backplate on it to complete the card.

EK Luc got a reaction from MNG1226 in EKWB A240G compatibility and expandability
I swear it won't fit.
The PCB of the Strix is way bigger than a reference one and the mounting points are different

EK Luc reacted to For Science! in Primochill Vue reacted badly and built up
It's so common that it's in their promotional material. Basically this is not a manufacturing defect, more of an expected feature. Normally you just get a thin film of coolant in this region; its just the Vue doesn't like it, so its more the Vues problem.
WRT to the air bubbles, I'm referring to the region just above the jet plate of the CPU monoblock. This region is always the hardest to completely get the bubbles out (you have to shake it REALLY hard). From your pictures it would seem to be there are still air pockets there and the vue has precipitated out onto the plastic on top of the jet plate.

EK Luc got a reaction from Justin1311 in 1st time water cooling build can use a check over
The HAYxxxxxxxxx models are compatible with the V1 and the V2. If Daz currently have blocks in it's store, it's probably V1 since the V2 are very recent.
Regarding the fact that you want to keep the original backplate, you will have to modifiy the backplate to be able to use it.

HAY is the first design, so you are good @EK Luc could verify.

EK Luc got a reaction from Justin1311 in PHANTEXS ENTHOO LUXE HELP!
I have a build in an Enthoo Luxe with 2 Titan X (Maxwell) in it. While I modded the case to fit a 360 in the front to go with my 420 in the top. I was able to use an EK fan mounting pump/res bracket without issues after removing the Phanteks reservoir mounting system.
You can check some pictures in my build log. I'm not sure I have some specific pictures of the mounting though.

EK Luc got a reaction from Gnomo in Do manufacturers need to document their coolants Better?
Hi!
I'm not a chemist so I won't be able to answer your question but, I totally understand your point.
Did you sent an email or opened a ticket on the EK website to obtain more infos on this matter?

EK Luc reacted to Masada02 in EK-MLC Phoenix
If it's anything like the Predator (which it certainly looks like) then yes. It's essentially one of their copper rads, D5 PWM pump, and a small reservoir in a nice housing with a custom PCB to power the fans. All of these use standard fittings and you can essentially customize this into a low profile custom loop. That's why I have the Predator 360. Custom loop cooling and customization, and low profile looks.
The fittings aren't the easiest to get a hold of, but they are obtainable from other online sources.

EK Luc got a reaction from Janner558 in Separation of Pump and Res?
Hi,
Sorry for the delay of response.
We don't sell the black bottom part directly but if you open a support ticket on our website, I think the guys will be able to sell you one in a custom order.

EK Luc got a reaction from PlayStation 2 in Ek dropped the ball on my 1080ti water block
Sorry about that!
You're not the only one who had it's shroud damaged during transport. It's our fault.
Open a ticket on our website about your 2 issues and we'll send you the replacement parts.

EK Luc reacted to Shiv78 in What is the best thermal paste method for GPU ?
Doesn't really matter much, I'd use the asterisk or X-method that @EK Luc EK and @JayzTwoCents use

Turbo cards are not reference PCB, so it will not work unfortunately.

EK Luc reacted to W-L in EKWB G1/4 extenders and rads.
Yes those extenders are needed to allow for the fitting to seat correctly or it will interfere with the metal housing.

EK Luc got a reaction from Introoke in EKWB EK Fluid Gaming A240G for 980ti
He was reffering to this : VGA Supremacy
But don't use this block if you have a Fluid Gaming Kit since the kit is made out of Aluminum and the VGA Supremacy is made out of Copper. If you intend to use the VGA Supremacy in a traditionnal copper loop than you're fine.

EK Luc reacted to MkaiL in A240G for AMD?
No vega blocks won't fit your 390. If you still want to watercool that 390, you will have to get a full copper waterloop kit such as the Ek P240 kit + seperate gpu block which will cost you about €400 to €500 depending on which kit you choose.
That's because the ek fluid kits are aluminium and the waterblock you linked is copper. You can't mix aluminium and copper in a waterloop. If I were you, I would do some research first before attempting a waterloop.
-
EK Luc reacted to The Benjamins in A240G for AMD?
That is the copper block he is talking about the aluminum block/kit for the fluid gaming line. which will cost less. I would expect the A240G will become 2 skus with one for AMD and one for Nvidia at the same price points now.

EK Luc got a reaction from Nigh74ury in EKWB A240 with a custom water cooled GPU
Hi, sorry for the delay it was the end of my vacations so I wasn't there.
If you use the A240 in one separate loop and a copper GPU block in another completely separate loop than the A240 loop you'll be fine since both loops lives in their own small world.
By separate loop I mean separate pump/res, separate rad, separate fittings, separate tubing, separate blocks.
