I posted a while back my Primo II build and it was certainly a fun system to make and I learned a lot from it. Moved to X299 from X99 in my spare time to fully redo the system, I added a bunch of custom parts from Coldzero.eu and added many new parts which I believe would give the system a cooling boost. The parts that got changed are all on the cooling side mostly and some storage along with some other cool stuff. System should be all done this January. Here is what I added to the system and removed: Added/Changed too: Intel i7 7800X (Delided) ICEman X299 Delid Die Guard (7820, 7900, 7920 Frame) X299 FTWK V2 Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB (4x 8GB) 3000MHz CMW32GX4M4A2666C16 Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Light Enhancement Kit Black CMWLEKIT2 Alphacool XT60 360 Black Alphacool UT60 240 Black Alphacool HDX2 Alphacool HDX5 Watercool.de Dual DDC-Case LT Acryl 2x EKWB DDC 3.2 PWM with EKWB Black Heatsinks EKWB X3 150 RGB Reservoir 12x Nidec Servo Gentle Typhoon PWM 120mm 2150 RPM (D1225C12B6ZPA-64) Sleeved with Black heatshrink and sleeving Barrow V3 Compression Fittings 3/8-5/8 Black (THKN-3/8-V3) along with various barrow fittings 5x Barrow TZKMF-V2 Various other Barrow Fttings 10ft of Tygon A60-G Neoprene Tubing 3/8-5/8 3x Western Digital NVMe Black 500GB (WDS500G2X0C) 4x Western Digital 2.5 SSD Blue 500GB (WDS500G2B0A) 4x Western Digital 2.5 HDD Black 1TB 7200 RPM (WD10JPLX) 2x Western Digital M.2 SATA SSD Blue 500GB (WDS500G2B0B) 2x Bitspower M.2 SSD Armor Advanced Version, Black 3x Aqua Computer Splitty 9 Hubs Aquacomputer Aquabus X4 Aquacomputer Farbwerk Aquacomputer Flow sensor high flow USB G1/4 Aquacomputer Aquaero 5 LT USB fan controller pair with 6 Pro VISION Glow table top unit with IR receiver and ambient temperature sensor Aqua Computer Quadro Fan Controller (Hooked up via Aquabus) GMMK Gateron Blue Switches Keyboard Mayflower Electronics ARC DAC Sennheiser GSP 600 EVGA 1000T2 EVGA 1070Ti FTW Ultra Silent Gaming Bykski N-EV1080-X FR-CU-RA-V2BK VRM upgraded with Fujipoly 17w m/k Pad 30mm Asrock HT330 FD123010LS sleeved for VRM heatsink 2x Sunon 60x60x25mm (KD1206PTV2) DDC Heatsink Fans Removed: X99 FTK 6800K 2x GT Fans EK Dual D5 Revo HWL Rads Hyper X Cloud S MX Board 6.0 Removed CPC QDC 3x 980Ti 1200P2 Corsair XT and XTi SSD Hyper X Predator NVMe BP Thor Kit Alphacool HDX3

Still waiting for a few parts, but here is the HDX3 with the HDX2 heatsink and hooked up with CPC QDC's. 7w/mk on the Front of the M.2, 11w/mk on the back and some 5m/wk on the backplate. This setup right here can tame any M.2  Waiting for the GPX Terminal to upgrade it, over the Nylon one they give you. Removed from revision.

More pics, please!
Yes, sorry just waiting on a few CZ parts and a Custom VRM Backside heatsink I am making. Ordered the metal heatsinks from eBay and going to get it anodized by ModMyMods! It will be working in tandem with my Bitspower THOR EIX99 Kit which has a VRM block. Also ended up ditching the AquaBus X4 since I could not get the Power Adjust 3's to show up consistently unfortunately. PWM GT's, these are awesome fans and prefer them over the F4 Vardar's that I used previously! The heatsink is 100x35x10mm, I originally tried eMachineShop but they wanted $400+, so I bailed on that and got 4x of these heatsinks off eBay for $12, just need to drill 2x M2.5 holes exactly 87.8mm apart. Going to mount a 1.5mm thermal pad on it and use 1mm nylon washers as spacers for it. Switched to X299

Here is an update, back side with some CZ parts and Splitty 9's hooked up. Some custom logo panels made for all the parts I used in this system. 2.5in WD Black's are installed on a custom CZ plate. Just waiting on the heatsink and Aquaero Cooler 120mm fan mount. Changed in latest revision.

Well got the heatsink and it will screw in but is too wide, gonna have to cut it in half to fit so it does not touch the solder contacts on the back of the board. and here is the Aquaero mount! Changed in revision.

Haha, yeah it sure is a roomy case, the Coldzero.eu mounting plates certainly help especially for all the Aquacomputer parts.

Are the CPC QDCs the same that EK uses? Been trying to find where to get those in stock at a decent price.

Sorry for the long delay, but going to drop the Aquaero 120mm cooler unfortunately do to a spacing issue, but it already has overkill cooling. I just bought an EK Dual D5 Revo kit with 2x D5 PWM pumps and will hook that up once I get it, going from dual DDC to dual D5 will be really interesting to see how much of a flow improvement there will be. I will use it with the 64mm tall res and EK multiport top res and will be on QDC's! I will be using the Primo HDD tray and drill it so I can secure the pumps easily to it.

Here is an update! EK Dual D5 Revo is in, got the mounting plate made by Coldzero.eu should be here next week, this is gonna be sweet! Kit comes with 2x EK D5 PWM pumps rated at 30w. The Revo top really has some excellent machining and is some of the better machining I have seen from EK. Unit has a 3rd G1/4 port that I will install a Temp sensor under, pretty cool feature. Go the Dual D5 plate custom made by CZ and here is the link for anyone with a Primo case wishing to install it on the HDD tray: https://www.coldzero.eu/custom-dual-d5-support-for-enthoo-primo Had to order the different rubber rings since the ones that come with the kit are not the tight fitting ones. Changed to Alphacool Dual D5 top with VPP755 V3's

Coldzero.eu mount is in, mounts perfectly, so if you have a Primo case and want to mount the Dual D5 Revo, this plate will work great. Kit is mounted more to the right to avoid any radiator conflict. Changed in revision.

Love these updates.
EVGATech_GabrielT
Very nice. Keep us updated.
Thank you! Yeah I will keep up with the updates, waiting for the X3 Lite kit so I can attach the 64mm tall res and I should be good to go soon hopefully! Got another CZ part in the works for the back of the case, a dust filter for the GPU Exhausts. (Update) Just ordered an Intel 750 400GB NVMe and Bitspower V2 750 block (BP-WBSSDI750V2-CL), should show up next week! I think this will look very nice with the Bitspower GPU blocks and the backplate is a nice touch!

This EK D5 Dual Top is great, not as Glass model but Dual pump on 30-40% are silence and security. I keep to PC shut down on 75C because only one D5. I estimate if someone want to use best parts loop cost arround 700$ with single pump, GPU and CPU. But HW Lab 4th Gen GTR, Bitspower Fittings, Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fans, EK XRES Combo, EK Waterblocks not less than 700$. I'm very satisfied with working on my XRES Glass 100. First it's much heavier than Acrylic and that's better for D5 Pump if you have good vibration mechanism as EK. Pyrex glass tube no way to make scratches you could use alcohol, detergent for windows, anything. Stainless steel pipe in middle connect reservoir and top is best and nicest option for vortex. If you use inlet on bottom near outlet port liquid in reservoir stay calm even on full speed, you barely see moving, on top is visible you need one small pipe or to listen water. And last advantage, default out of box 3 top ports, no extra investment. That's good because one G 1/4 port could make whole reservoir to shine if you use RGB Plug. And EK sleeve looks like worth, I have impression thats MDPC-X, it's hard to believe. Only is my opinion that they make absurd mistake. Fan wires, no matter you see 2-3-4 should be installed in one sleeve. Second both wire from Molex. Thats far better options than 3-4 sleeve of small D5.

Is it option to say to EKWB,
Sleeve me, but use single wire for Fan and single wire for Molex, with 15mm heatsrink on both size, not bigger.
I got it sleeved by PPC. Here is the 750 on the V2 block. Changed in revision.
