Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Matx Loop Advice

Morning all,

So I've gone and bought a Nano and am looking at doing a watercool loop to replace the aio I currently have. I want the loop to cool both the cpu (4770k) and the gpu. Does anyone have any advice on what parts would be best?

Thanks!

I assume you are talking about the Enthoo Mini? If so you can do the following:

No hes talking about the Evolv.

Here is my build if it helps. https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18664889&highlight=back+water

Not the simplest case to do a custom loop in and keep looking pretty. Space for the pump and reservoir are main things to worry about but you have the choice on if you use a res at all.

That's an awesome looking build! Good effort! Can't see me doing quite as much, probably going to go with flexible tubing for ease of use. Never tried rigid tubes but I can see me getting annoyed trying to build it! Just need to try and justify spending my hard earned on the parts! (And hope the Mrs doesn't notice...)

How did you set up the fans in this build? I've probably just missed that part in your post.

Thanks I have the front 2 as intakes and rear and roof as exhaust. I know this is not positive air pressure but only the front is filtered so didn't want any other non filtered fans as intakes. The system still looks pretty clean in this set up.

That makes sense, I've got a load of kit lined up so just need to sort out the layout. Went for pvc hoses though as I don't have the patience to attempt rigid tubes!

Yea that will make thinks abit easier. What is the spec your planning?

Im aiming for 2x Magicool G2 Slim 240 rads with a EK block for my R9 Nano and CPU and I'm going to try out that new XSPC Ion Pump/Res combo... we shall see how it goes!

Where u planning on mounting the pump and res?

andyc123 · 14 Mar 2016 at 18:18

That's a good question, I think I need to fit the rads and fans and come up with a plan once I see what space is available. Good thing is the Nano will leave lots of room!
