Another watercooled Enthoo Primo

Techen · 6 Nov 2014 at 15:03

So I'll start posting logs just shortly with my new case. A lot of this project is just a transfer from one case to another but I have changing a few things so I guess its worth a watch :B

Old case:

New case:

The main difference will be the coolant will be moving to Ice white which looks amazing in the bottle and can't wait to play with it. Going for a white/black theme.

Computer specs:

2 X SLI 980S OCUK brand
CPU - I7-4790K
Mobo - Asus Maximus VII Formula Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
Ram - Corsair 1866mhz DDR3
PSU - 1000W Superflower
SSDS- 2 X Samsung 500GB
1 x OCZ 128GB

A lot of the watercooling is EK, So it should at least look pretty. Does anyone know the LED colour this case comes with? If its off theme I might not use it.

It's blue LED for strips and front fans.

Good luck, hopefully I'll be getting my Primo build log up later today.

Blue? Bleh, That's a shame. Wont be using them

I'll be changing mine eventually to green. Have a look on the Midas golden Primo build ( http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18560177 ) for replacing the LEDs.

Okay, Been lazy and I haven't updated this much.

I quick photo of the stuff I used during this build. Please note though some of the rads, Fans etc were dragged over from my old case into my new case. Everything newish is shown in the photo really, Probs stuff missing am not good at keeping boxes anyway.

There was no shoots during the build as my camera didn't work right and because it was gonna take us so long... I had to just get on with it. However I will show the end results of what we did with the stuff we had.

Fans, 6 x Parvum, 4 X Corsair SP, 2 X Phanteks 140MM
2 X GTX 980s, Clocks 1500mhz/4001Mhz
Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.7ghz 1.3v
Corsair DDR3 1866mhz 16GB
ROG Maximus VII Formula Mobo watercooled
SuperFlower Leadex Platinum 1200W Fully Modular "80 Plus Platinum" Power Supply - White
2X Samsung 500GB SSD

And whatever I've missed. Very pleased with this case build. Most likely the best one I've built to date. The case is so huge and heavy now it's no longer portable really, I almost pulled my back out trying to lift it up my house stairs. It's awful lol, But totally worth it.

People asked for my review on the Parvum fans and I must say there amazing, There design and noise is around the same as the corsair SP fans I have. Put enough voltage through them and they'll do fine honestly, Well worth the price tag which is far cheaper than the corsair ones.

Feel free to drop me any questions about the case build, I may keep updating it if I do make changes etc however my money is now tight after all that fuss
