Enthoo Primo Question

Michaeljcox24 · 13 Mar 2014 at 08:05

Lads,

Posted a couple of q's in WC about this case which I was looking at purchasing for my Easter rig maintenance. This question goes out to anyone with w/c rads in the case.

I want to put an RX360 in the roof, which I am 100% certain will fit in a push config and wont be an issue.

However, if I put an EX240 in the base, will I loose the HD cages, or can you have all the HD cages in there as well as a 240mm rad.

Also, as I've never put a rad in the bottom of a rig before, do you have the fans sucking air up from underneath, or blowing down through the base.

Cheers.

You can fit a 480 in the roof natively

You can fit upto a 280 in the bottom without removing your cages

Hope this helps

Any idea about the fan orientation?

Normally have them sucking in from the bottom, as heat rises this will aid with better air flow

The best fan set up I've tried is all the fans blowing in and the rear as exhaust. So thats the bottom rad, top rad, and front fans as intake and rear as exhaust. I've tried the more obvious way with the front, rear and bottom fans as intake and the roof rad as exhaust and had at least a 4 degree rise in temps, across the board.

I'm running an i5 4670k @ 4.2 on 1.015v and a pair of HD 7950's @ 1000 and 1250. with a 420 and 480 Monsta in push pull with 2 140's up front and a 140mm in the rear, all Akasa Vipers. My cpu has never reached 50, and my top gpu hits 36 and my bottom gpu hits 34.

Quite looking forward to this build. My first one was an epic fail but wasn't my fault, it was a problem with one of the blocks not making contact with the gpu on a 580. I must have stripped the loop down, bled it and filled it 25 times in a weekend to try different ideas.

With this one I have a 690 with a block that works. Should be fairly stress free.
