Thanks bro. It's my first ever build, don't get your hopes up too high. I'm waiting for my replacement GPU to arrive. rclxms.gif

BTW, if anyone has any clue at all on how to make the Primochill zen coil sit properly in the reservoir, by all means, please post here. notworthy.gif

Well, fortunately for me, I don't need their reply anymore.

CAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT MY RESERVOIR, ALL YOU SEE IS PERFECTLY BALANCED ZENCOIL! rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

Words can't describe how I feel about the reservoir now. Gorgeous!

1. Tie one side down like you said.
2. Twist and pull the other side until it's balanced.
3. Cut off all excess coils.
4. Close compression cap.
5. Use an allen key, insert it through the 1/4 ports to adjust the coils slightly if needed.

I have absolutely no idea how it'd hold up when there's water in it. Hehe, my next build will feature the 120mm version of this res. Build quality is amazing! rclxms.gif

Very nicely done! Hopefully water doesn't mess it all up for you. haha.

It is! and mounting system is straight forward too.

Lucassss, they got back to me.

The coil doesn't actually "stand". The walls of the reservoir keep the coil in place. You should be able to adjust the tension of the coil to make it hug the walls.


Not much help. doh.gif

Maybe they forgot that the reservoir is mainly used for holding water and that the water pressure will disturb how the coils hug the wall.

It's okay, they're Primochill and we still love them. rclxms.gif

No update on the build today, but I contacted PrimoChill to complain about how the beautifully designed CTR reservoir is symmetrically unbalanced with just one mounting bracket.

Guess what, they've decided to send me another mounting bracket. Cost? Just pay for shipping. PrimoChill, this is for you. thumbup.gif

NICELY DONE. Though if they were sincere, they should just send FOC.

Noctua happily sent me a set of fan mounting clips when I wanted to put a third fan on my D14. All I had to do was show proof of purchase. rclxms.gif

Well, judging from the build quality of that bracket, I don't think it's cheap to manufacture either. The best part is they didn't even ask for any proof of purchase. rclxms.gif

I'm pretty confident they won't tax me for that. It's not worth more than RM500.

Since there's been no updates for awhile now due to the pending arrival of more fittings and new GPU, I've decided to dry fit more stuff to ensure no more hiccups after said items arrive. smile.gif

It's an all black build, but those blues are gorgeous. Keeping them there for awhile.

Really glad I got the SP120's other than the SGT. rclxms.gif

The blues will work for you since your motherboard has some blue. thumbup.gif

qwe13 He got them through me. tongue.gif.

You can get them locally from lingloong as well, he's selling the dual packs for about RM160 without postage.

Alright, set up all the water cooling stuff outside the case for some leak test. And HOLY SHIT! There's a hole in my reservoir!

My CPU waterblock is also leaking at the fittings area, any tips?
