Nzxt Kraken x52/x62; Will it fit?

[Guest]

Im wondering if either the NZXT Kraken x52/x62 will fit in this case?

According to the specs of the phantek enthoo evolv ITX up to a 240mm radiator can go in the front if you remove the 200mm included fan, or 280mm radiator on the top.

Kyle(Bitwit) used a 240mmmm corsair h105 on top in this case:
Radiator dimensions: 272.5mm x 120mm x 38mm
Fan dimensions: 120mm x 120mm x 25mm

Now I know as of late the preferred mounting is to have AIO's in front for better thermals vs having gpu exhaust near cpu, but since im getting a founders 1080ti I was hoping i could be able to use the top in 280mm for x62 then use the 200m front fan included.

Radiator: 275 x 123 x 30mm

That case is not really meant for massive liquid cooling systems like the x52/x62. The specs suggest it wont fit either. Maybe the x52 can, but i am not sure. But then again, i was never a fan of liquid cooling. Just some added bling factor.

i contacted phanteks and they assured either would fit, but we shall see. Im going to go to microcenter near me for that purchase so i dont have to wait and find out. I maybe even take my case there and try mounting it in the parking lot LOL.

I agree on the bling factor, thats why i tried to tone this build really down from where it started. its 3-4k down from custom loop build i had concocted which is a win so i can safe some funds for the 1800x build.

will keep you posted!

Well, if they assured it, then it might fit. Personally i have seen a couple of liquid coolers damaging other parts and i never recommend since then. But that might be me. Goodluck with that.

I have the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX and the Kraken X62 will fit, but the radiator sat too low with the fans and I was not able to put the CPU Block/Pump on the CPU. Also, I was not able to use a 140mm fan in the rear because the radiator was to long as well. Maybe a 120mm fan wil fit in there, but did not have one on hand to test it out. I tried moving the radiator toward the front of the case, and the fan was able to fit. Then the new issue was the radiator would not fit because it was hitting the cased frame. The mobo I have this issue with is the Asus - ROG STRIX Z270i GAMING Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard. So I plan to return the X62 and get the X52. Crossing fingers.

So, I am awaiting for the X52 to come in and test fit that. Crossing fingers. Based on the dimension of the radiator you posted, they look similar in size. So I am hopeful of that. (for the X52). I listed my parts below.

Also, I may change my graphics card, because its pretty thick that it is very close to the PS shroud and might starved for air cooling. I am also changing the front 200mm fan to 2x140mm fans. That way I can get more airflow through out the case from top to bottom and in hopes that this will help dissapate the heat from the GTX 1080ti card.
