Review: EK P360 Performance Liquid Cooling Kit
We review the P360 Performance custom loop Liquid Cooling from EK, consisting out of all components needed to assemble and design your own liquid cooling loop. In this review we will build a performance class PC and test this kit on a Core i7 6700K processor. The end result is a setup that is surpassing any AIO kit in both performance and low noise levels. Even overclocked the results are terrific!

So with the inverted chassis you have to use the rad as an intake? That's great for your cpu temps but won't it increase chassis temps and also gpu temps?

Looks okay. Just Titan should get loop as well - thats the loudest point i guess.

How hard is it to add say 2x gpu blocks to the loop? A boat load of work? Wonder if its enough to handle say 2x 980ti's +cpu. I dont have much exp with custom water but am interested in it.

Well for two 980TIs plus a CPU this won't be sufficient, maybe a start
But the more blocks (three that way) you have, the stronger the pump should be (the included D5 pump is strong enough for that though, I'm running the same pump with a way more restrictive setup).
Also, you would need at least one fan (on a rad) per component to cool, the more the better also... so with that starting kit I think you won't be able to do that if you're not going for the 360 rad (3x120mm fan on there), or even adding a second rad + fans.
What I say is that you might not want to use that premixed cooling... I use destilled water with biocides (against algae) as well as a silver coil in there (for the same reason). I am avoiding premixed things as I've heard that old coolant can clog up your loop eventually. Also, changing the cooling in case you change your setup is easier when you just have to refill destilled water until you're full again, and adding a few single drops of biocide.
If you do that, include another rad and/or more blocks, you should also make sure to count all the fittings and parts you need, as well as probably getting some more tubing.
But in any way, if you plan to do a true custom water cooling loop, make a build thread, and be warned that it might cost some money there... especially if you're going for GPUs, which will need new blocks once you change them, etc....

Small custom loop that beats any AIO in HH's benchmarks. Not bad, also rather quiet in use. Sure it's not cheap, but the numbers speak for themselves (you can push 1.5v into it and still end up at the level of stock air cooling...).
