water cooling loop in phanteks enthoo luxe

[Justin1311]

Hey guys im looking for some help. Next month i will be taking  acouple weeks stay home vacation from work and during that time im planning on doing  a custom water cooling loop on my pc.

 

asus maximus x code mobo

intel 8700k

2x gtx1080ti's by asus

2 850 ssd's

1 960 nvme

corsair rm1000x

32gb g skill trident z

blu ray optical drive

 

 

my question is im worried about my reservoir placement with the gtx 1080ti's from asus being so long would i have enough room to place my reservoir i plan on using phanteks gpu blocks because of the rgb on them. I may be open to get another case but i really like this one because i can show off my ssd's and it has a nice but not over powering rgb on the sides and a glass window. i dont want to do any mods to make room so i can see the reservoir. if any one has done a  loop in the luxe with long gpu's can you please show me some pics so i can get some idea's that would be greatly appreciated thanks!

EDIT: The ASUS GTX 1080Ti's are 11.73" in length, so you have a sliver of extra room to work with compared to me.

 

I have an Enthoo Luxe Tempered Glass (looks like you have that too), and two Sapphire R9-Fury...which are 12.1" in length.

I've got a custom water cooling loop work-in-progress, so I can give you some approximate numbers, pictures, etc.

 

Depends on what type/size of reservoir you want to get, the Enthoo Luxe should have a variety of mounting options/locations.

You have a stop left of the PCI expansion slots (e.g. cylindrical shaped).

The Luxe also comes with a reservoir mounting bracket (check your accessory box)

If you want to use a pump + reservoir combo, the pump bracket also works (again, check the Enthoo Luxe accessory box).

 

Anyways...where did you get the Carbon fibre wrap?

It's a nice little touch!

i was thinking useing the bracket to mount the res right  side of gpu's i havent looked into the components too much yet but im thinking ekwb 60mm diameter res  on phanteks site i should have 338mm to play with with mount installed and if i have a 60mm res id have 278mm for my gpu or 11 inches and my gpu is 11.5 inches just the card so i think im screwed because i would like to display it aswell.   

 

and for the carbon fiber wrap i got it at Canadian tire

Hmm...I see...okay okay, will have to do some measuring, and looking at numbers.

 

Can you give me the link on the Canadian Tire website?

How is the wrap, though...quality wise?
