it is to be treated as an AIO until you open it (eg to add more components).

that is nice i want to add a gtx 980 to the loop will the rad have have enough cooling?

I'm not exactly sure that it requires no maintenance after adding more components. 

 

I only know that you don't if you keep the loop as is.

ek wb told us on ocn once you open it up its maintenance is handed like a custom loop. without opening theres no maintenance for at least 3 yrs. adding a prefilled gpu block from their website counts not as a modification and therefore requires no maintenance either because the loop is still closed.

 

the 360 rad will have enoughe cooling if youre adding a single gpu to it. (if youre about to buy a water cooling block for your 980ti check out ek wbs website, they have a prefill service for their gpu blocks with the quick connectors so you can just plug it into the loop)

IF YOU WANT ME TO REPLY TO YOU, QUOTE MY POST.

thanks i was planning on getting the stuff from there website also. as of now my master case 5 only supports rads in the front of the case will that be a problem with how the pump is attached to the to the system or should i go down to the 240 and also get the upgrade for my case?

dont know about the fitment in your case but theres some compatibility configurator in their website. 240 would do its job too (they announced a 240 predator with quick connects 2 days ago too!) but for cpu and gpu id pick the 360 predator. it's also not recommended to install the Predator in the bottom of a case because the pump could suffer from the lack of water flow. (quoting ek wb here from OCN) so front with the pump on top/top mounting only.

ltt has been boulding in this case recently and just saw the 360 setup in it so that answers that also it is only 10 more dollars us so it is a no brainer

The unit can be oriented with the pump on top or on the bottom when you use it in the front of a case.
