Q
How many water blocks can you add to the loop?
A: The EK-MLC Phoenix liquid cooling unit can be upgraded with several ad-
ditional parts. However in order to keep performance at a reasonable level
it is recommended not to upgrade EK-MLC Phoenix with no more than:
- one (1) GPU or CPU water block (Phoenix 120, 140)
- two (GPU & CPU) water blocks (Phoenix 240, 280, 360)
Additionaly you can add another GPU water block to Phoenix 280 and
360 (see EK-MLC Phoenix QDC Connections Guide on page 10).
NOTE: To achieve the best performance it is highly recommended
to run pump at full speed when expanding the Phoenix unit with ad-
ditional water blocks. Please consult page 34 of this manual.
Q
What flow rates are to be expected with EK-MLC Phoenix?
A: The Phoenix units typically operate at about 150L/h at full speed re-
spectively.
Installing a typical GPU pre-filled water block with Quick-Disconnect Cou-
plings (QDC) typically drops flow rates from 150L/h to about 120L/h. Add-
ing two such water blocks would result in flow rates of around 100L/h.
Flow rates of around 100L/h is considered adequate for efficient cooling of
the modern high-power GPUs.
NOTE: To achieve the best performance it is highly recommended
to run pump at full speed when expanding the Phoenix unit with ad-
ditional water blocks. Please consult page 34 of this manual.
Q
Is it possible to flip the fan orientation?
A: Yes, however this requires cutting of the zip-ties holding the cables
together. The fans can be removed by the use of enclosed Allen key
(2.5mm). When flipping the fan orientation it is crucial to keep the zip
ties in place (which function as a washer as well), otherwise the fan
screws might pierce and thus irreparably damage the radiator core.
Such damage is not covered by warranty.
Q
Is it possible to ‘daisy-chain’ the integrated PWM splitter?
A: Yes, the integrated 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 ex-
ceed 25W (2A on +12VDC) - the limit of SATA power connector of the
Phoenix unit.
Q
Is it possible to add additional radiators (daisy-chain) to the
Phoenix loop?
A: It is possible, although not recommended, because the pump may have
some problems sending the fluid around the expanded system.
