Awesome to hear lol. Thank you for that and the help on this. I never really did a full force custom loop so while I can build well this is all new territory. Figure a hybrid first then maybe the next build a more custom loop. Now if someone can just point me to a custom bios for the Asus GTX 1080 TI OC's lol....I would be great lol but I guess they don't exist just yet. Thanks again for the help. Hope this thread helps others, I know I been hunting around about this myself and finding that Quick Disconnect does give these AIO's some potential. All in the math and figuring but it can be done.

Got ya, so do you think 2 gpus with a motherboard VRM block would be fine with the 280 and 360 both on the same loop? I got the Asus Maximus IX Formula with the VRM EKWB block built on. I originally planned to not put it to that, but figured hybrid it over to that back down to the second rad just so everything in the system is cooled. Not a must but I was hoping to extend to that if the rads can handle it. Its not a super hot thing so I hope it would be plenty I ordered

I think the EKWP reasoning for stating one unit for only 1 gpu and 1 cpu and not two is just due to the on edge factor with the pump. So if anyone is adding more components, I would guess we would have to add in an extra rad by them in the loop or separate the loops. I will just go hybrid and pray it comes out fine lol. So expect pics here of either a leaky mess or a wonderful build, lol

That is what I seen, its roughly the same thing as the SPC-60 MX. I been kind of flowing off the description I seen on Newegg. I believe for my setup, it should work, well I hope because I already ordered a ton of the parts already. While I would love a full custom loop, I just got too much going on in my case to do so. I had to settle on a dated XSPC reservoir without a pump to fit it in. Which I think is good because 3 pumps on such a small loop might be adding in heat I may not want. I did break down per one pump and for me x2 it due to my setup but conversion from LPH to LPM to GPM turned out 3.9 GPM, so about 1.95 GPM per pump. Which actually isn't too bad for an AIO from what I am reading.

I have seen people cut these on Youtube and refit but get ready for a mess. They do sell the same fluid though, found it on Newegg, they just use the clear premix that EKWB sells in these rads and their gpu blocks. Fine to custom off these as long as you guys do the math on flow, but I think 2 gpus and maybe a cpu with 2 rads and a reservoir should work. I wouldn't cut the original lines though, just deal with the extra line with old zip ties and call it a day....the quick disconnects are on EKWB and will work to extend out. They are 10mm barbed so fit tubes.

I kind of found myself in a similar situation where I have to get these rads by EKWB in order to save space. But I found out they sell the Quick disconnects on EKWB so I am trying to put together a hybrid loop. The 360 EKWB Phoenix and 280 in order to simply cool my boards VRMs and 2 Asus GTX 1080 TI's in SLI. I noticed the above comment about the internal rad pumps, but I did a flow comparison and it appear the combo of 2 rads in a single loop should roughly give you 3.8 GPM which in most loops that should be fine. Personally I have a corsair 740 case but I have slapped a lot into this build and really out of room for a standard custom water loop, can't see any spot left for simply a pump. So I decided to use that QUICK DISCONNECT fitting EKWB sells, hybrid to my VRMS then to a non pumped reservoir, out to the second 280 Phoenix and up to the GPUS back to the 360 rad in a full loop. Might be an option for the build above, not exactly sure the flow is correct per the EKWB pump listed but appears it might be enough with 2 in a loop. Hate to put a third on this due to no location for one. Luckily I already have my CPU on a corsair AIO so that is out of the equation...
