I recently purchased an Enthoo Primo and would like to try water cooling but I'm a novice when it comes to water cooling. I want a loop for both my cpu and gpu so I am hoping the helpful people of this forum will be able to give me advice and help me choose the parts I am going to need.

The main reasons for wanting to go water cooling is to have silence and to have lower temps on my hardware, the appearance is secondary (for the time being).

I have done a little reading but deciding on the right parts is a bit confusing.

Currently I have a 2500k and a Sapphire 290X Tri-X (which is a reference design pcb).

The radiator compatibility of the case is as follows

Have you had a look at the Alphacool cool answer kits? I can't link it due to competitor sites but there's one that includes a d5 pump/bayres combo, 4x nb eloop fans, their cpu block, coolant, 60mm thick 480 rad, 6 comp fittings and tubing all for £240. Them you can get some de ionised water, 2 more fittings and a gpu block and enjoy the silence!

Thanks, I'll take a look.
 
I've just put a loop in an Enthoo Primo, will be posting pics later this week when the UV cathodes finally get delivered. They really are a dream to work with, and you can fix thick rads (RX range from XSPC) in the bottom and top without stressing about clearance. Like you, I have a 2500K.

My loop was consisted of all XSPC kit from Overclockers so I didn't have to worry about compatibility and sizes. You can even fit a Bay res, and a DVD writer in there with the thick rad and still have space for another writer if you need one.

Look forward to the pics. :)
