Here we have the two Vardar 120 mm high static pressure fans. You get two of these, both 120 mm and PWM based as stated. Overall these are very good fans regulated by the motherboard FAN header. 

 


When we flip the unit around we see the radiator a little better. Easy to mount with included screws, most mid and big-tower chassis have pre-fitted holes and space for 240 mm rads these days. Here you are looking directly at the (6Watt DCC) pump and fan hub & fill reservoir.
 


Everything is installed for you, so the tubing mounts to the fittings and coolant is already inserted and sealed. EK delivers their Supremacy MX CPU water-block with this kit. There is only CPU socket compatibility for Intel LGA-1150/1151/1155/1156 and Intel LGA-2011(-3).
 


Here we have the cooling block. it is machined with a copper base made from very pure copper and is further polished to
wards a mirror finish. Let me remove that protective cover and show you that.

 

When we flip the CPU cooling block/pump around we see an all copper base, Yeah now that is what we can call a proper mirror / lapped finish. As the results will show, the performance really is good as you'll find out soon enough. The nice thing with EK's implementation of the Predator is that the pump and fan hub is located in the radiator, meaning you will not have any wires leading in and out of the water-block. The end-result will be a much more cleaner finish.


Tubing from radiator towards cooling-block is 40 cm - this allows you to install the reservoirs quite easily in the top or front side of the chassis. This is flexible quality tubing is what is called ZMT (Zero Maintainance Tubing) matte black tubing, nice and thick for optimal coolant flow as well.
