MtDewCowboy's Enthoo Primo Build Log

[mtdewcowboy]

After seen builds on here with this case and doing some research I wanted this case to do my first water cooled pc.
Here are some pics of my old case:




Now for new case:










I could not wait for my wc stuff so I went ahead and switched cases
I will update build as I get in the goods
What you see now will be replaced fans and all

 

[Luke1978]

I do like that case.

Update

This is my build list as of now unless there is any issues





I plan on putting the Monsta 480mm Rad at the bottom in push/pull using the Corsair SP 120 HP fans

I plan to mount the res/pump on the cover plate
I plan on replacing all the case fans to the Corsair 140mm fans
3 up top, 1 in front and one in the rear
I am going to use the drain port on the Monsta at the rear of the case for easy draining and a fill port on the res/pump up top of case
Hope the res/pump comes back in stock soon

Thats a nice looking case, that pump/res combo is one I've been thinking of buying myself. performance pc's has it in stock I believe for the same price.

 

[mtdewcowboy]

I have the Monsta Rad, Primochill tubing, Koolance cpu 380A block & Killcoil on the way
Only need the res/pump, fittings & fans
The fans will be last to buy as I'm still up in the air on them

 

[iLoki]

very nice. Are you going to mount that rad in the top or on the bottom? There may be some modding required if you're going for the bottom, and I don't believe you'll be able to go push/pull if you mount it up top.

 

[mtdewcowboy]

The Monsta is going on the bottom in push/pull config
It should fit np as I have removed all the HD trays

 

[don256us]

I question the need for 13 fans in total on your order. It seems with a case that size, you've hit a point of diminishing returns.

I look forward to your finished project and the updates of work done.

 

[mtdewcowboy]

8 of those fans are for the Rad for push/pull config
The other 5 fans are to replace the stock fans in the case
Don't see where its over the top
Putting 3 140mm fans up top and one upfront and one in the rear
And still unsure about changing those fans
The Rad fans are either going to be GT's or NB E-loops

 

[csimon]

You could always use the Monsoon Silver Bullet as a replacement for the kill coil.

 

[mtdewcowboy]

I got some of my parts in

 

[Pierre3400]

You are going to love that 480 in the bottom, but be aware,the screws supplied with 480, the heads on them are too small. I suggest getting bigger headed M3 screws for the bottom.

 

[Thekamikazepr]

wished i saw that pump res combo b4 buying my pump the other day

 

[MongGrel]

Gets my drool approval rating.



Nice work !

It has been six months doing research and asking questions here
After the cpu is done next will be a 480mm rad up top for the gpu's
Everyone should really plan out everything and buy the best they can get
Every part I got so far was from looking at what others have and reviews done

Couldn't have said it any better. Hope those new comers learn from your experience and not other's rushed advise.

And of course, congrats on your new gear! What else are we expecting to come in?

 

[mtdewcowboy]

Still need the res/pump and the fittings
Still doing research on fans but I think the E loops are the ticket unless I can find some cheaper
I buy parts once I am sure thats what I want

mtdewcowboy, sweet upgrades!!!!

I see your xfire with hd 7770's, a lot of people are haveing issues with this gpu in xfire, it might be a good thing if you could do a writeup on that when this rig is complete also.

 

[mtdewcowboy]

Xfire has been good but had to rma one cause it was overvolting and only running 32 bit
I hope to put them on water next
