EKWB Predator 280 in the front of the Corsair 760T

[noMercy19]

Greetings all,

I am currently planning my build inside a Corsair 760T.

I plan on putting a EKWB Predator 360 in the top and a EKWB Predator 280 in the front.

Since the Predator AIO coolers have the pump and reservoir attached to the radiator, they are longer than other coolers. The 360 is 415mm long and the 280 is 335mm long.

The EKWB website has a compatability link that shows the 360 will fit in the top of the 760T but does not have the same utility for the 280 in the front.

So please answer me this, will the EKWB Predator 280 at 335mm long fit in the front of the 760T without needing to remove the optical cage?

You can contact Corsair and EKWB CS, if it turns out no, I've seen build log of 760T fits XLC Predator 280 on front (forget from what site or forum). The easiest way is measured bottom drive bay to case's floor and add 1cm, too bad Corsair is too lazy to supply clearance documentation on their internal case room.
I strongly suggest you use XLC Predator 360 on top > CPU block > (buy) 280 rad on front (add tube and coolant) > GPU block > back to top res/pump. I estimate the total loop length is less than 3.05 m (360 rad + 280 rad + tube + blocks), should do fine with XLC Predator DDC 3.1 pump which is ~ 4 meter max head pressure = PSI drop @ 3GPM DDC 3.1 (Coolstream 360PE = 0.7GPM + 0.6GPM Supremacy MX + 0.7GPM Coolstream 280CE + 0.5GPM EK FC GPU block + 0.5GPM joints/fittings/elbows).

Thank you so much for that.
