FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q
How many water blocks can you add to the loop?
A: EK-KIT Classic liquid cooling unit can be upgraded with several
additional parts. However, in order to keep performance at a
reasonable level, it is recommended not to upgrade EK-KIT
Classic with more than:
- one (1) GPU water block (EK-KIT Classic 240)
- two (2) GPU water blocks (EK-KIT Classic 360)
Q
What flow rates are to be expected with EK-KIT Classic?
A: This kit typically operates at about 440L/h. Installing a typical
GPU water block usually drops flow rates from 440L/h to
about 360L/h. Adding two water blocks would result in flow
rates of about 300L/h in the same scenario.
For best performance, it is recommended to run the pump at
100% duty cycle in order to maintain highest flow rates (and thus
thermal performance) when running more than one additional
water block.
Q
Can the Push-Pull Fan configuration be used with EK-KIT
Classic?
A: Yes, this kit can accommodate additional fans on the bottom
side and thus work in the push-pull regime.
However, the required mounting screws are not
enclosed and must be purchased separately.
In order to prevent damage to the unit please
use the UNC 6-32 30mm screws with standard
120x120x25mm fans!
The required set of UNC 6-32 x 30mm screws can be purchased
through EK Webshop and EK Partner Reseller Network.
Q
Is it possible to ‘daisy-chain’ the enclosed PWM splitter?
A: Yes, the enclosed PWM splitter allows for daisy-chaining of
additional PWM splitter cables, such as EK-Cable Y-Splitter
2-Fan PWM (10cm) [EAN: 3831109867860], as long as the
total power draw does not exceed 12W (1A on +12VDC) - the
limit of KK 254 4-pin fan header on the motherboard.
