I have a EKWB Predator 360 I want to expand the loop to both my 1080 TI using QDC

I have 2 EVGA 1080 ti FTW3 graphic cards in SLI. My question is if I buy 2 EK-FC1080 GTX Ti FTW3 - Acetal+Nickel pre-filled GPU water block with QDC to my EK-XLC Predator. Would I be able to loop both graphics cards or will I be able to only do it to just one.

I have seen EK's videos online and it only looks like you can do it to one pref-filled GPU using QDC but not 2 of them. Can anyone clarify if they have done or if it is possible. I want to buy them but I am not sure if you can do it or if it cannot be done. Let me know ASAP and any thoughts or help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Well, if it says DDC ... just add another radiator. just don't order pre filled blocks as you will need to connect the radiator so you have to get some tubing and fittings. so just order rad + 2xblocks+reservoir+tubing and fittings. you can replace even the original tubes with clear one or even hardline :) just pick required fittings.

UPDATE:
just checked the EK specs for predator. it is indeed DDC, but it is not the "normal" one. the one in predator is rated for 6w while the common DDC is rated for ~20W.

technically, you can connect them all into one loop and the only issue would be excessive tubing. the problems are not in the connection.
the pump on Predator might not be able to push the liquid fast enough through that many components.
a single 360 radiator for 2x 1080Ti + some CPU is not enough to keep things cool and quiet.
an easier and more practical approach would be building custom loop. you can reuse existing components, just add a D5 or DDC pump, another radiator (at least 280 or 360) and a GPU bridge.

Thanks for your thoughts. Really wanted to avoid custom looping altogether was hoping this would be a good in-between both worlds.

The EK predator 360 has a DDC PUMP already and it’s certified to power both CPU and at least 1 GPU for sure. I’ve email EK just to see if the predator will power both with it’s full covered pre-filled GPU full cover water blocks.

As much as I would like to have an additional RAD and even though I have a and In Win D-Frame 2.0 Full Tower it’s just not in the cards in that sense.

I would have to sacrifice some of my mechanical SSHD hardrives in lue of an additional RAD that i don’t believe the case would support.

False advertising on EK part since that’s what is says in their spec sheet for the 360.

Any suggestions on what I can get. I would like to keep the 360 for CPU cooking as it is fantastic.

However I’m fairly new to GPU cooling so any suggestions on what I could get to make this happen specifically would be great. Thanks for your help man. Really appreciate your input!!
