Hey guys,

I have a little question, but first of all I wanne say sorry for my bad english  im from germany so :P

Back to my question, I bougth the Phanteks Enthoo Evolve ATX Tempred Glass  and I want to watercool my GPU

as well as my CPU i saw a picture of 2 360 radiators fitting in to the front on top of the case, while the pump was in the basement.

Now i wanne know if I have to mod something on the case to let them fit like that, and how sick the radiator can be I want to go with a 30/45mm

top radiator so it dose not cover up the motherboard. My systems specs are a EVGA GTX 1080 FTW GAMING (267mm) and a ram without heatspreader (low profil)

 

here is the picture of the build i spoke about: http://imgur.com/qVXx6Cr

 

I hope you can help me out :)

I looks like you'll have to do some modding to achieve the setup in that picture. If you look in the top right and left corners of the case, the rivets that old in the radiator mount have been removed (likely drilled out) to fit the radiator and fans better. There is also a hole cut into the midplate/PSU cover to fit the longer radiator. 

 

The main issue is going to be the thickness of the front rad. If you keep to a standard 30-40mm radiator on the top, then measure the space you have for the front rad before buying it. 

 

EDIT: Actually, they may be screws, not rivets. If so, it's much easier as you don't have to drill them out.

x2 360's is very tight in this case. You can do it with slim rads without modding I believe, but you then can have a devil of a job routing your tubes. Personally, I advise going for a 360 and 240 or ideally 280. No problem with this fitting, and performance with 280 vs 360 is negligible.
