Me: who needs a case that large?
Jay: and here is the extra screw kit
Me: I will never buy from another case manufacturer ever again
P500 comes with one too, though I'm not sure there's extra if you fill it out completely
Dude right?!?
I thought I was the only one.
Honestly why I recommend everyone who is building for the first time to get a Phanteks case.
I have a 4ish year old Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX. They've been amazing, the couple times I contacted support. They just sold me 2 front panel USB Assemblies (Mine's flaking out, which can happen) They had them and they were only 20 bucks each.
"You can do anything with a Dremel and will power." That's the best line that I've heard this month. And so true, too.
Pain is temporary, glory is forever
that needs to be on a T-shirt
And Duck tape/duct tape
A very apt statement in the gun world as well hahaha
can i get rid of my wife with a dremel and will power?
"there's not a whole lot to talk about with this case"
Jay, the video is 17 minutes....
I remember in my younger years I wanted the biggest case I could possibly get.. just because. There's no way I'd have been able to afford half of the hardware that could go inside it, but I was sat there drooling over the CM Cosmos and a bit later the Obsidian 1000D. Now I have an NZXT H1 and couldn't be happier with having such a small system. Times change :)
That's funny, since I'm the opposite. When I was younger I wanted smaller cases, so I could carry them to LANs easier. Now I want the biggest case I can get, so I can work in there easier without constantly cutting my hand on stuff. The HAF X and O11 XL have been amazing for building computers.
Jay, do some more case reviews. Because you’re so honest with them, I hope a Phanteks rep has a chat with their teams about the front IO.
personally not had any issues with the FP on mine yet and it is using the same flip up design, I completely understand where jay is coming from however I dont think that is something the target audience would experience very often if at all, jay made the point of some wireless adapters are a little larger but even then most of the time you would want those in the back of the case unless you move around a lot and have separate systems with only one set of peripherals but even that is going to be few and far between, my point is that phanteks is unlikely to change this as it takes away from the very clean face of the cases and I think that that is the type of audience they are targeting, people who care more about aesthetics than the usability as minor as it may be.
You could also get a short USB extension cable to use for those devices that don't fit.
@@GamerDad1987 I think its the sole fact that you even have to consider going that route in the first place that turns people off from this kind of front panel IO. Which is understandable.
My evol X is brilliant
@@ReptileKing999 Mine either and I also don't have to worry about dust accumulation, which can lead to shorts, due to the front I/O being on the top like some other cases
*When you remember the Red Dead Redemption case and wonder what happened*. Hope you didn't lose interest, but you must have.
i think he said it was scrapped because it just was not working
@Wang Computers Irrelevant Comment.
The post malone build took like a whole freaking year
Hopefully its just on hold and he gets back to it, even if it takes a lot of time.
In the meantime if you like case modding and putting computers into odd choices for cases, Tech by Matt has some cool videos, he built a computer inside of a Gamecube

Jay: Dual system builds for Streaming
Me: Uses 2nd system to host game servers.
I'm thinking workstation and gaming rig
That's actually a genius idea
@@xXDeltaXxwhotookit Now, that's what I call a cunning plan.
Hi Jay,
Just thought I'd add my scenario that I am currently in for the dual systems one case.
My partner and I share the office space, and we don't have a lot of space in the room for two computers full of hard drives. So to cut down on space, I use a dual system case for our rigs.
I know I am probably an isolated scenario, but I just thought I'd add to the conversation.
Cheers for the overview!
I do this too, but with a massive 1000d with 2 full gaming systems w/ 8700k and 1080tis under water. I tell myself it's for space but I just really like how it looks.
That's a smart way to get everything that both of you want in less space. Seems like a win win .
it seems like two itx or matx cases would be smaller then this single case. if desk space was a problem i would go the 2x itx case route
@@robertsmith3476 That is another way to do it for sure. There may have been a specific reason for it
that is actually a great idea!
Jay: "I like big cases and i cannot lie"
Sirmixalot nods approvingly.
approving lie
I have this case and I absolutely love it. I don't see how any manufacturer could do better. The only way I can see myself using a different case is if I make my own custom build from scratch, designing and machining everything myself to fit a specific theme build.
i got the first pro and i love it especially the ease of opening side panels. it also has a bunch of space for drives like dvds
Me: Well, I need to get something done before I go to bed. Time to be productive
Jay: **Video posted 20 minutes ago**
Me: 👀
This is me right now
Me: I need to be productive.
Jay: *posts new video*
Me: You son of a bitch - I'm in.
Oh wow, I just built my first PC last week with the Enthoo Pro case. Really enjoying it so far.
i've built 3 rigs so far in the enthoo pro. its a great case.
Definitely one of the first case reviews I’ve watched all the way through. This thing is so versatile, it’s definitely going in my next rig
"You can do anything with a Dremel and willpower." -#Jay2020
"you can do anything, with a Dremel and willpower"🤣🤣🤣
Nice quoting 😂
Words to live by
You can even buy a second case!
Best line in the video 🤣
Jay: Power-efficient designs, GPUs consume less power...
nVidia: Hold my beer.
I have the P600S - amazing case, and I loved the unboxing experience and the little boxes with drive cages
I have been waiting a long time for a build in the 719, this will do fine. THANK YOU!
Watching this and eating some A&W at the same time, best combo.
Recently built a pc and couldn’t have picked out parts without your help
Facts.
I have been using the Enthoo Luxe with Tempered Glass for close to two year now. I love it. The design is slick, integrated RGB, plenty of space, cable management in the back. It was my first gaming PC built piece by piece and I am glad I started with this case. When my friends are getting new PCs/Case, I always recommend Phanteks.
Great content as always and thanks for all the tech info. A small suggestion regarding the USB issue you facing not having space. When I used to have a similar issue I bought some small 10cm USB extensions and it worked out great.
"What would you do with this case?"
Well since i host most games for my friends and the party size varies often from 4+ to 12+ we pretty often require our own server.
so within reason having a second system already running dedicated servers acting like a DIY mini server with something like Linux running on it would be pretty handy.
Beyond that you could potentially just connect 1 single monitor and have both inputs send to the same monitor and with a switch in between its simply a flick of a button and you'd switching back and forth. The benefits would be near equal playing field for everyone because both system although they are next to each other the connect would first end up at the router and then return again thus still creating a bit of latency.
As example, If people out there ever played Pummel party 8+ and you'd host a game you'd literally have no latency as host, thus your reaction times are much better then your friends which would technically be a unfair advantage. But you can always negate that by simply saying "Get gud bro".
Dedicated server is what i thought of using it for too
With the amount of storage spots available, a cheap RAID controller and make a media system as well.
I got a corsair 1000D and the second system is mainly used for game servers, its also used for couch gaming in another room and a racing sim because my main system lacks enough outputs for everything I want. Playing on the couch is fine in 1080p for the games I play and racing games are fairly light so don't require a beast of a video card. But 99% of the time its either a server or just media streaming to the tv.
That's exactly what I thought when I saw the vid
got something like that running in the enthoo 719 but you have to realise before setting up something like that that itx mobo's usually only contain 2 ram slots and a lot of gameservers are pretty ram heavy to run. which means you'd only ever run one dedi ar at best 2 at any given time (saving up for a 2u rackmounted server now to replace my itx server for that reason).
"It's got all the features, though it's maybe not a premium as the Enthoo 719."
Still glad I went with 719 when I did, on sale ahead of this case's release. It was only $40 more than the Pro II cost, and I got to have it 3 months earlier. Your review of the 719 had a lot to do with that decision. I too ended up hugging it. :)
That Ourburst made my day! DUDE! You're Epic. The review was spot in too. I'm doing my first build, and I'm buying this case. Your reviews helped me pick out 90% of the things for my build.
I watched the enthoo primo review in early 2018, I made a dual socket system in it in late 2018, I water cooled it with a top mounted 480mm radiator in early 2020. I can confirm that the OG Phanteks case is sick to build in, and even all this time later I would still love to see a Jay build in it.
I've been having a battle in my head for years - Is my next rig a Gaming machine or a Solidworks Machine?! I guess if we are playing fantasy, I'd build a machine with ATX Area as a Solidworks Rig, and the ITX as a Gaming Rig. Both would be linked to a trio of 16:10 monitors for maximum productivity or maximum immersion. You could easily YOLO this further but I've decided to stay somewhat realistsic... £5000 realistic, excluding any Watercooling.
ATX Rig - CAD/Solidworks
CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X
Cooler (Air): be quiet! dark Rock Pro 4
Motherboard: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero ATX
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3200 (4x16GB)
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 1TB & Western Digital Black 4TB (RAID'd as required)
GPU: Quadro RTX 5000
(So you can put a Waterblock on it if need be.)
PSU: Silverstone Strider Titanium 700W
ITX Rig - Gaming
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
Cooler (Air): Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 Chromax.Black
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming Mini ITX
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3200 (2x16GB)
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 2TB & Western Digital Black 4TB (RAID'd as required)
GPU: RTX 2080 Super Gigabyte Windforce OC
PSU: Revolt Pro PH-P850GC
(Seems you need this specific one for the second system!)
I've spec'd air coolers as any Water Loop would be custom and that not an area I'm familiar with. You could have two loops, one per system, or, so long as you had the same blocks, have one parralel loop for the two systems. I'd try and network the ITX Rig via a high speed network card on the ATX rig, so there was no need for WiFi.
Just wanna say, sounds cool as fuck. But I think running the loops in parallel sounds like a bad idea to me. You'd always have to be running both systems in that case, even if it would look badass
"This case makes Linus so " (STOP! STOP NOW! NOOOoo)
... orny...
You and Linus are a hilarious Set of Motortruckers. Thank you for being who you are.
It was the packing he was talking about not the case in that comment :)
Because of your Enthoo Primo review way back when, I transplanted my rig into the primo. Its got to be the best cases Ive ever used.
I'm having Enthoo pro tempered glass since three years and i still love it. Great air flow, space and quality
Wow, I guess you'd need to be a real *Enthoosiast* to buy this case
Go to your room and think about what you've done.
Boo. Hiss.
👏🏻
Stage hook has entered the chat
Where can I find this case at cant find it
"What would you put in this case?"
A Raspberry Pi...
Why not?
you wont do it... =)
By the time you finish paying for the case that's all you'll be able to afford.
@@psycho-nutkase9233 too much power ... Arduino pro mini it is ...
@@bwood6337 $140 USD is not a bad price. I am shopping for a case and I am around the 150-200 US range where I am happy with what I see ... Just my 2c ... my current cases are Corsair and NZXT and they weren't cheap either.
This case is such a tempting upgrade from the original Enthoo that I have, partially because I find the dual system niche somewhat cool.
My dream config would be to use the main ATX area as my primary rig, and set up the ITX system as a catch-all machine, as a file/game server, or as a secondary machine for when guests are over (whether they use it directly or we use it for VR). Hopefully, I would also do a custom loop, but that simply depends on how much I might switch out hardware.
Just got my Phanteks eclipse p600s today for my first build, it looks great.
When you mention "Phil keeps filling up drives", are we gonna be seeing a Server/PC NAS in the future for the office/studio?
Please do a dual system with full custom loop in the this case. That shit would be so dope.
I'm still using my enthoo primo white. I have a custum loop with a 480mil radiator in the top, the pump and hard drives are mounted in the front. I put the gpu vertically and now the case look full enough while still retaining an almost minimalistic look. A fine line to walk. Love my case.
I really want to see you building a full water-cooled dual system in this case
Take "usb extension cable" (from aliexpress, costs some cents) and you will be fine to plug any device in front usb's :)
Good advice and its cheap but doesn't change the fact that I have to put in my time/money in order to fix a stupid and outdated design choice.
@@2Syndras1Cup Im using the same design: Phanteks Evolv X case! One of the best so far - very happy with it!
10:29 I don't think having a two PCs for streaming was about a performance hit to the game but a issues with the *STREAM* stuttering, pixelating, dropping frames, or lagging out, especially if you're streaming to more than one platform. Also a lot of people have multiple audio inputs and video inputs that necessitates having to manage it all on another "Streaming PC" so you can easily transitions or activate, with out having to pause the game, alt-tab out to OBS, to make any changes to the stream. It's also easier to trigger events like video clips when people follow or sub to your channel while you're streaming.
Yeah...I definitely think he missed the mark here. Secondary streaming PC is definitely preferable, and can be very important for some games.
thanks jay i was just looking through duel setup cases just for more space and water cooling compatibility and this is definitely one ill be keeping an eye on when i do go to order, as of this one my other im keeping in mind is the MetallicGear NEO Qube
Gotta love Phanteks cases, great to work on. I use the P600S myself and one of my sons has the P500A.
They also have lots of options and extra hardware available. The only problem is pricing, they’re not cheap ☹️ but still... great cases 👍
5:27 Is that.....a 5.25" drive bay?! 5:33 DAMMIT!!! It's just a bunch of ports with a cover over them.
@edmunds tomsons Dammit. These modern cases are starting to infect me. I meant 5 25". Lol. Lemme correct that.
They do sell an accessory mount for the 5.25" drives, called ODD Mounting Bracket or something. It mounts near the front, but it faces out the side, meaning that you need to open your case anytime you want to access the drives to insert a DVD disk or whatever. I'm not entirely sure how it affects the clearances with the radiators, but I would assume that you wouldn't be able to put a 480 radiator on the side or the front anymore.
@@jaewonhwang3716 That sucks. Open the case every time? Bah!
The original Primo has 5 5.25 bays, kept mine through my last 3 builds now as there just isn't anything suitable on the market like it anymore. It's housing a 480 rad, 360 rad, 140 rad, Eatx mobo, bluray and dvd burner, 6x 3.5" drives, 2x 2.5" drives (can fit another 4), 2x HDD hot swap bays. My only problem with it is that the IO is on the top of the case which is super impractical due to it needing to live under a desk due to its size.
"not sure why you'd need dual power supplies"
*Linus appears with a Threadripper 3990x and dual 3090s in SLI...
Or Linus's "$100,000" computer with 6 quadros, and dual 28 core Xeons, he had two 1600W power supplies and they were being stretched pretty thin.
Nice case.
I have the Phantex Evolv X
‘Edit’ fixed the power button and now works fantastic. 😎
I've seen a use for dual system cases where you have a work PC for doing things like 3D modeling (or something where having multiple GPUs is actually useful). You have the work PC as the main and the ITX is a gaming PC for playing games while you're waiting on renders.
Jay: Full tower cases kinda dying
Me: 🙃 Moving from big case ( thermaltake view 71 ) to even bigger one (Raijintek Eris Evo)
Famous last words "You can do anything with a Dremel and Willpower"
I have a phanteks Enthoo case, when It arrived I thought the driver had given me the wrong one. When I ordered it, it didn't seem as big in the picture. It dwarfed the case, I was swapping my internals to. But I love the case, cable management was a breeze. As it's so big air flow is really good, I really like it.
Hey Jay I had a similar issue with plugging in usbs, an easy fix was to go on eBay and buy a usb extension and plug it I to the back of the case. I glued the other end just under the desk so now I have an easy usb port under my desk👍
Well this is gonna be my next case for Ryzen 9 might be named : All Might.
"GPUs don't nearly create the heat they used to..."
You can tell this was before the RTX 3000 announcement
Thats true actually, my 3090 never exceed 68c when I'm gaming.

I actually purchased this case as I wanted to move away from the NZXT H700i and run my home server in it as well as my main system. I. Love. It. Got to get the parts to assemble my server (mini itx) now.
Phil keeps filling up his drives because after recording for 4 hours there is only 10 min of usable content. So get Linus to build Phil a unread server to store all the bloopers.
Damn you MobileChaos, you stole my entire comment.
Yes what he said, with the caveat that the Enthoo is not for P0rn.
Actually with the Enthoo name do a Dr Suess themed build.
Petabyte v3 server? I could see that ending well after watching him build the first 2. :p
@@whitepawrolls You know a video is only good if someone breaks and catches on fire.
If i had this case I would do a his and her pc for me and my wife so that way we can game together
Jayz always does his best when he focuses on the high-end and Enthoosiest side of things.
God, this is the case I was looking for. I didn't think I would need to go back so far in Jay's videos to find it.
Well, actually I just watched the Server edition video that was just uploaded and went back and checked the regular version... 3 years prior.
Jay! I would love to see a dual-system Gaming PC and NAS build. Ideally, my dream system would have independent PSU so I could keep the NAS always-on. Make it happen!
I am trying to do the same thing for travel. Just can't stomach my gaming rig being ITX instead of ATX.
Duel System huh?
Challenge:
One system for gaming: AMD
Second system for streaming/editing: Intel
Do you accept Jay? Well do ya? Hmm?
If you build it, oh nvm...
Why would you go with AMD for gaming and Intel for streaming/editing? That is exactly the opposite of the strengths of the brands. I hope this was just a joke that went over my head.
@@cdbtheclaw why do you think I chose it that way? I know its the opposite.
IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-DUEL!!!
@@cdbtheclaw I'd probably do the streaming and editing with Intel if it's an Nvidia GPU. The Fast Sync or whatever it is helps lower render times dramatically and with the NVENC encoder it'll be pretty snappy and smooth.
@@cdbtheclaw Amd for gaming because pci 4.0 and rtx 3000. Intel for editing because of quicksync (?)
I've been looking for a case for my next build which will be my first watercooled build and I'm definitely going with this one. I was originally looking at the Corsair 7000 but this one being cheaper and similar to my current build, an air cooled Fractal Torrent, has won me over.
I love phanteks! Nice cases to build into. Agree the little top flippy door is a bit of a pain but that's about the only thing. Very nice quality for the price!

Jay: "What would you do with this case?"
Me: *DEEP BREATH*
Custom water cooling loop. Water cooled 10900k. Water cooled dual 2080ti's. Water cooled RAM. Back 140mm radiator, bottom 360mm radiator, front and side 480mm radiators. And at the top, three 120mm fans desperately trying to vent all that air. Then, I crank every dial I can find for overclocking. I want to see heat waves ripping from the top of this case like it's Alabama blacktop in mid August. I want there to be scorch marks on the ceiling above this case.
And then, I go out and buy a Sugar Glider. And I teach it to surf the thermals until the joy of endless flight fills his little possum heart to overflowing.
OMG I Love it!!
Thanks for this. I was having trouble figuring out where to mount my water cooler system (first time installing one too).
I still have the original Enthoo, love the case! (though did have to do a small mod for front airflow)
I love how the manual he was literally reading tells you it only can fit 2x 480mm and 2x 360mm, not 3x 480mm...
@@theElemDragon which the case can't mount due to clearance issues. It only supports 3x 140 fans, not a 420mm rad due to the Motherboard position.
hi just subed a few days ago i like ure content and im thinking of building my own PC
A shroud mod to test isolated system cooling sounds cool. I dont think ive seen that within a system, it may be out there I'm sure, but I'd like to see it in a case like this and have a water cooled system where the rads are isolated from the rest of the system
this case is awesome,really flexible,you can do anything you want,almost no limits ,plenty of hdds,ssds,FANS all over the place,i bet build in this thing can take hours till you figure out what the hell you can do with it!!! just great,nice vid Jay ,thanks
Im a simple man, i see new enthoo case i click like
Once you go Phanteks, you can’t go back to anything else.
Denis Ruskin I always had corsair cases, but yesterday I ordered this case to replace my obsidian 750d I think I’m gonna like it more than my corsair
my 2012 NZXT still beat that crap in every way . Phanteks = garbages overpriced + features no one will never wants to utilize
@@deviljes666 A case from 2012. Poor fella
no allowance money for a new case? poor boah
@@denisruskin348 lol yeah yeah im broken but at least my 8 pc are keeping my balls hot in winter
I love this case... and if they make a medium sized case with similar options, then I might even be willing to give up my CM Storm Sniper BE case for this.
Man, such a lovely case, always been a big fan on phanteks and admittedly got excited and started building out a new system while watching this video.
My system has been struggling lately with all the VM/GNS3 I've been doing lately as I try and retrain after losing my job to covid. Can't justify it right now, being unemployed and all, but I will dream damnit! The dream is full custom loop shared between both systems going with a icey blue/black theme. Would try my best to do contrasting pieces, for example ram on 1 system might be white/icey blue but on the other system just a nice matte black. 1 everyday gaming system: ryzen 3950/16GB of high clock ram/2080TI and a monster workhorse: threadripper/128GB ram/titan.
Won't lie, I'm getting a little hot and bothered thinking about it.
Funny, “Enthoo” means “Whatever” in my language.
I think its supposed to be short for enthusiast for their brand but I'm not totally sure
Happy to see another mallu here
Jubair Siddeeque u too brother
Given the modularity of the case, marketing would say it's intentional. The case can be whatever you need/want.
Laughing with my Lian li Lancool 2 mesh Edit: no longer laughing after discovering its a dual system case
it's actually really cool that their drive cages have foam on them by default. i had to get rid of one of my older, perfectly fine drives, because it vibrates a lot more than the newer ones and the Lancool 2 has absolutely no vibration absorption, it's just plastic sitting on metal that slides into metal and there is not really any space to add foam or rubber to it.
I have a cyberpower pc, prebuilt, it has a Phanteks case, so I was going to say the magnetic top. I upgraded it to a Ryzen 5 2600X and added another 8GB of ram (2 slots on the MB, A320M PRO-2 V2). I was pleasantly surprised when I took your advice to manage the cables, I discovered, unlike most prebuilts which are famous for lousy power supplies, mine has a EVGA 600 watt 80 gold.
Last time I checked there’s can’t be 10 people who are first😂😂
I'm with you on loving big cases. The htpc I want to build will go in something like that
This is a really nice case, I went middle case for my build last year and I regret it, no space for cable management / rgb headers hard to get to without unmounting everything / no space for mounting the rad on top or having a reservoir at the front.
I'm never doing that mistake ever again
I just got my 719! Love it!
I bought the 719 couple months back. I was originally waiting for the Enthoo Pro II to come out but I didn't wanna wait. Pretty happy I didn't. I had the original Enthoo Pro and loved it. I didn't buy it for water cooling, as I hate water cooling. In my 719 I have 2 Noctua 140mm IndustrialPPC 3000 rpm in the front and 1 in the back. Then I have 3 Noctua of the same fan but in 120mm at the top. Keeps everything nice and cool. Then I have the Noctua NH-D15 for my CPU cooler.
As much as I love sff cases, I would love to see a dual system setup where they’re both cooled by a dual 480 setup like you were describing.
I was already looking at the 719 for a fun dream build. Want to do a custom loop liquid cooling build through it to fill more of the empty space. Would probably be for a dedicated gaming rig and my current PC would be changed into a dedicated streaming/editing machine.
Probably going to go back and do more comparison between this and the 719 to see more of the differences to make a better decision before any purchase
I would love to see that mod you spoke about. Sounds interesting!
That plastic shroud idea sounds kickass, I'll have to remember that.
I just ordered this exact case based on your last video on the similar case. I am waiting on the new AMD CPU's to come out to build it. I am in no rush as I just had to RMA a Asus MB Z690 and ended up buying a EVGA Z690 Classified MB and I am currently rebuilding my new build and water cooling it as well. The case will be part of a slow play build.
Thank you for doing this video.
4 Rads Fully fleshed out. Im Getting a 719 soon and im going to start by trying to passively water cool it. With the 5 fans my current system has on standby for emergencies.
I have the 719. Best case I've ever owned. It was just a bit cheaper then an 011 Dynamic XL when I got it, and came with much more options.
I would definitely put all possible radiators in it, like 3x 480, 1x 120 and 1x 360. I hope this will work 🤩

Jay: My table is all messed up. Don't worry about the wobble.
Moves it fifteen different ways, still wobbles. 😂
Jay, I like big cases too. Ive been using a Thermaltake Mozart TX as my main for almost 15 years. It fits anything and everything.
I have the 719 and have 240, 360 & 420mm rads. didn't go for a 120 in the back because I have the Phanteks D140 distro plate installed there. With all that, there was still plenty of room for my Singularity pump/res combo at the front. With the Pro II, I imagine the same dimensions would allow the same build I have in mine.
I have that case.
It works great, and I like the form-factor. With the addition of the second GPU, I have removed my USB-3 card, and two of the front plugs are not working, but I am upgrading the motherboard to one with two built-in USB-3 headers. The PCI real estate is less than I had hoped for, and many motherboards have one USB-3 header, and the case needs two. I originally bought the solid panel but upgraded to the glass side after I got an incredibly fantastic deal on my LED components (RAM, motherboard, pump, and fans). It all works, but my PCH (chipset) temps are around 78 degrees Celcius, but everything else is half of that or less. Z690 chips run hot, and the MSI rep said it could reach 90 under load while gaming or rendering.
I ordered everything from Newegg and assembled the beast over Christmas at my Uncle's house near 29 Stumps, California (I live in Arkansas).
He placed the radiator in the front, and we put 4 fans (all 120mm) on the side, 3 on top, 1 in the back, and 1 on the bottom. All of the fans suck air in, and the three fans on the radiator blow it out. The fan on the bottom blows out as well. The idea is to force air through the radiator and keep dust out through positive pressure. It is my first water-cooled system, and I prefer air-cooled, but my Uncle said that the case design and CPU would benefit from a water-cooler, and if I bought a pre-made system, the chance of leaking would be reduced considerably.
I am not much of a gamer, but I edit videos and audio, and I use R-Studio to work with large data sets (graduate political science - survey data). If I ever need to go to a full workstation and move to twin Xenon processors, this is the case for the job. Later, I might add the secondary system to run my emulators while waiting for the beast to process my data. I might play some FF6 while trying to study the voting habits of tall, one-lagged, evangelical plumbers in the Columbus, Ohio, area.

I have the 719 version and I vertically mount my second MSI 2080ti Trio in the basement where the “second” system would go. I use a PCIe extender. Doing this allows me to use a normal motherboard and both GPUs running 10 hours non stop GPU rendering never getting over 74c!
Severs and other high-end workstations have had dual (redundant) power supplies for a while now- designed for each to be in their own circuit and UPS.
My dream case is the Thermaltake tower 900. It's a big one for sure. And I will be sure to fill that thing with a dual loop.
