Ive ordered my new case,

I was wondering if you guys could help me, on best option to setting it up, its not a brand new build so I will be taking my parts from my haf-x and get some new ones in the future when i have the funds

one problem is im water cooling the cpu, so i assume ill need to measure up some new tubing, will i need to add the mother board and cpu first ?

I know ill think on this in the morning and wonder why I asked.
 
Are you wanting to do a custom loop? If you are just doing the cpu then maybe a closed system like Corsair offer would be easier.

If you wanna do a custom loop then yes you'd want to add motherboard and cpu first. Oh I see from your signature you already have a custom loop on that, is this what you intend to use and add a new cpu block?
 
Hi mate,
I have a custom loop i was told i would be better off with custom, its just cpu, i cant justify spending 100+ for a gpu block which i can only use on one model graphics card,

all parts will be the same, ek supreme cpu block, phobya 250 res, ek 4.0 pump, 360 black ice rad, i also have a 240 but im not sure if i will see any improvment by adding it.
if you think i will let me know

rest of the parts in my sig
 
Got my case today

Im not going to water cool the gpu only the cpu will I see any benefit from having a 240 rad as well as my currant 360 ?
 
Just had a good look at the case. one thing i have notice compared to my Haf-x is the metal is much thinner

I'm just wondering if I should have this 2nd back fan as in or out, I'm thinking
I'm also thinking of having a LED fan at the top back.

i will need to buy some red led fans to replace the front ones or go blue and red
 
looks like my front fan cover, clips are damaged, it wont clip in or release is this common?

This is a common problem on the primo. It needs a lot of force to get them to click into place. Remove the bottom 5.25 bay cover, then put your index fingers inside the part of the frame where the clips push into, then use your thumbs to push the panel into place. Placing your fingers here stops this part of the frame from flexing as you try to push the clips in.
