Here we have the Vardar 120 mm high static pressure fans. You get three of these, all 120 mm and PWM based as stated. Overall these are very good fans regulated by your motherboard CPU FAN header or fan controller.

 


When we flip the unit around we see the radiator a little better. Easy to mount with included screws, most big-tower chassis have pre-fitted holes and space for 360 mm rads these days, either top or front side mounted. 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(read the noted on the Ek website for compatibility on this please).
 


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

 


Now check that reflection -- that's what we call a mirror lapped finish! - When we flip the CPU cooling block/pump around we see an all copper base. 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.
 


Default Tubing from radiator towards cooling-block is 400mm (15.75in) - 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.
