Had this poor pump block ziptied to the side of the case for days now . . .

Is the Evga DG86 or 87 case  compatible with the 280 cooler?  My Coolermaster HAF X is not . 

Both cases specs say they support up to 8 x 140 or 120mm fans, and also both state full support for dual 420 or 360 radiators, so yup a 280 radiator is definitely supported by both cases.. and apparently more than just one 280 cooler. :)

Does this case require any modding? Does the cooler just bolt right in?

According to the man it will support a 280mm radiator. . . Check Jacob's replies in the case forum

I kind of doubt they would list them as supported if it required modification.

There's a good video demonstrating the versatility of the radiator mounting locations on youtube (EVGA DG-87 Review | Jumbo Case of your Dreams? from HardwareCanucks)


After seeing a video with the top of the case open I see exactly how it would fit. I am rather excited to get the dg-86 case. Looks badass. Can't wait. Thanks everyone.

Hi guys, I just bought the beautiful EVGA clc 120 and have a question, can I tuck away the fan cable that comes out the pump and just connect the fan to the motherboard? I'm replacing the fan with a noctua black fan. You guys think that the CPU cooler will work if it doesn't detect the fan connected to the pump? I Will definitely connect the pump to the Mobo, I don't care about the software Control for the fan as I like My Mobo bios taking care of this

Any idea when you guys are going to release the coolers with the quick disconnects and the accessories?

Has this been addressed yet? Jacob at CES said February or March... It is April and no sign of them. I need my 140mm rad...

I spoke to EVGA customer support and was told I could connect a regular micro USB to a regular USB 2.0 (doesn't have to be a header) then change the RGB lighting/etc.. and save it, then unplug the micro usb and put it away. I haven't installed the clc 120mm yet since I haven't had time but hopefully EVGA support is right about the "save and unplug" feature, I don't want a dangling usb 2.0 cable, I don't care about monitoring pump speed and my Asus rampage v extreme already monitors fan and CPU temp externally via the rog control panel. I will report back, I'm crossing my fingers that the CPU cooler will work reliably without a permanent USB connected to it, I don't want it to turn into one of those scenarios where every few pc bootups it looses your RGB saves or weird thing's like that. if anyone else is thinking about doing the same stuff as me please let us know how reliable is the save and unplug stuff that EVGA is talking about, Thank you

Hi All, 
I am new in the forum but I had a question about the 280mm CLC I just put into my new i7 7700K build. I have my computer completed and up/running, however when I power on, the CLC is running at max power. I installed the Flow Control Software thinking I would be able to go in and make changes, but the flow control software is telling me my device is a CLC 120mm, NOT the 280mm I actually have. The software has the pump and fans running at max rpm. I have tried to pulled the dials down to at the very least lower the speeds and sound coming from the fan, but it is not working. 
 
I have not contacted EVGA support yet because it is early morning but I am hoping someone here can help me out.
 
Thanks!
Daniel

jacob posted it showing 120 instead of 280 is a known bug and will be fixed with next release. from reading other post in this thread it seems the software is still pretty buggy, which happens with with the first versions of any software.

So I have the Bracket from Corsair Build is ready
 

Did you use the corsair AM4 bracket? =) 
 
If you did, did it fit perfect? or did you have any issues?

I can't seem to get any fan, pump or coolant temps.  I can't change the led either, it's just white.  I am wondering if I have a bad usb cable.  According to the bios the cpu fan is spinning at 1440 rpm.  The software says my firmware version is 0.0.0.0

Ace,
I wound up calling EVGA yesterday about my issue. Same thing except I was able to see my firmware version. There unable to fix the problem so I am RMA'ing and getting a new one.

I use only the USB2 headers and ports.
 
I have a few times needed to reboot when one of the temp are missing - generally it was the CPU

i have exact same thing.  i swapped the header with my axi1200 to make sure its not my motherboards header.  right now it only reads cpu temp and nothing else.
 
edit: fixed the issue by removing the corsair link usb from power supply.  also, the custome curve right now wont let us change the lowest and highest point, is there any plan to change that in future release?

Edit#2 now that software is reading, my idle temp is 26c and my coolant temp is 29c, how is this possible? Do I have busted sensor? Fan speed is at 1000ish and pump at 2900
