Hi everyone, I’m considering switching from my current fan-cooled setup to an EWKB liquid cooling system. I’m not entirely sure what parts I’ll need—adapters, fittings, hoses, tubing, coolants, pumps, reservoirs, plates, back-plates, thermal pads, greases, and so on. I found a configurator that helps, but it doesn’t clearly outline the required components or show many different versions, making it hard to understand what’s necessary.

My system details are as follows:
- Case: Phanteks Enthoo Primo Special Edition (PH-ES813P_SGR)
- MBO: Asus ROG Rampage V Extreme U3.1 X99
- CPU: Intel i7-5930K (BX80648I75930K)
- RAM: G.Skill 128GB Ripjaws V (F4-3000C14Q2-128GVKD)
- GPU: 3x Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X (Maxwell)
- M.2/ NVMe: Samsung 950Pro 512GB (Operating System)
- SSD: Samsung 850Evo 256GB, Samsung 850Pro 512GB
- Fans: NOCTUA NF-P14s (2x), NF-F12 (2x), NF-S12B (2x), and 6x NF-P14s redux-1200
I’m curious if these fans will work with the EKWB liquid cooling system.

Any advice or guidance on what I should look for would be greatly appreciated.

You have the option of soft tube or rigid tube (PETG, nickel/chromium plated brass pipe, borosilicate glass). I prefer water cooling for faster results when needed by OC, or for aesthetics. What about others? Here are the steps:

Googling "water cooled enthoo primo" will help you find your ideal choice, and then we’ll assist you in selecting options up to final assembly.
