EKWB Predator 280 positioned at the front of the Corsair 760T
Hello everyone,
I am working on setting up my build inside a Corsair 760T. I intend to install an EKWB Predator 360 at the top and an EKWB Predator 280 in front.
The Predator AIO coolers have their pump and reservoir connected to the radiator, making them longer than other models. The 360 cooler is 415mm long while the 280 is 335mm long.
According to the EKWB website, the 360 fits in the top of the 760T, but the 280 in front doesn’t have the same compatibility. I’m wondering if the 280 at 335mm will fit without removing the optical cage.
You can reach out to Corsair and EKWB CS for more information. I’ve found a build log showing the 760T fits the XLC Predator 280 on the front, regardless of the source. The simplest method is to measure from the bottom drive bay to the case floor and add about 1cm. Unfortunately, Corsair hasn’t provided clearance documentation for their internal cases. It’s recommended to try the XLC Predator 360 on top, then CPU block, followed by a 280 rad tube and coolant, then GPU block, and finally return to the top for res/pump. I estimate the total loop length is under 3.05 meters (360 rad + 280 rad + tube + blocks). This setup should work well with the XLC Predator DDC 3.1 pump, which can handle up to about 4 meters of head pressure.

This would result in a PSI drop at 3GPM from the DDC 3.1 (Coolstream 360PE: 0.7GPM + 0.6GPM Supremacy MX: 0.7GPM + 0.6GPM, Coolstream 280CE: 0.7GPM + 0.5GPM EK FC GPU block: 0.5GPM plus 0.5GPM for joints/fittings/elbows).
