Watercooling in Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Glass

Has anyone got this case and put a custom loop in?

I really wanted to use a EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM res/pump but unsure where or how to fit it as the mount that comes with the case supposedly doesn't fit...

How did you fit yours?

I was also planning on putting in a decent 280 rad at the front such as the Nemesis 280 GTX, good choice? Any issues with size when using one set of 25mm fans?

You could get the pump as a standalone with a D5 top and mount it in the bottom where the drive cages are located (you'd have to remove those of course), and then use whatever type of reservoir that suits you.

The 280mm radiator shouldn't be a problem in that case, although you might have to remove the top floor covering the drive bays at the bottom. Alternative you could put in a 360mm instead.

Thanks for your help

One last question, tubing has me very confused with all the ID OD sizes..... what is the best size to go for? I intend to use compression type fittings mostly straight with one or two 45degree 90degree fittings

I think the norm these days is 10/16mm. Get some PrimoChill hoses, can't go wrong with that.
