PREPARING YOUR PREDATOR UNIT

STEP 1:

It is recommended to remove the

Predator unit out of the chassis. You

can leave the water block installed but

must be careful not to pull/bend the

tubing. That may result to leakage

and damaged hardware. You can also

unplug all the electrical connections

from the predator unit in order to in-

stall the fans comfortably.

STEP 1

/ 6 /

INSTALLING ADDITIONAL FANS

The additional two (With EK-XLC

Predator 240) or three (With EK-

XLC Predator 360) fans should be

installed on the bottom side of the

Predator unit. Do NOT install the

additional fans on top of the stock

ones. That may lead to malfunc-

tioning of the fans. The orientation

of the fans is crucial in order to

achieve the best performance of the

radiator. Install the fans so that they

push the air through the radiator. For

orientation you can also look at the

orientation of the EK logo. It must

be rotated in same direction at both,

upper and lower set of fans. Make

sure to face the cable routing holes

on the fan case to same side as the

already installed ones.

In order to secure the fans

to the Predator chassis you

should use four (4) M4x6

DIN 7984 screws with the

enclosed Allen key for each

fan unit. If you want to se-

cure the cables to the Pred-

ator unit you should use a

cable tie along with longer –

M4x10 DIN7984 screws in-

stead. (See the detailed pic-

ture below). There is no need

to use a cable tie on every

screw mounting position.

For better understanding

you can look at the cable

management at already in-

stalled fans.
