Corsair Raptor K40 keyboard and M45 Mouse are designed to provide best

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:17.680
in-class features and performance for gaming click now to learn more the

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:21.920
fantex enu Primo you guys have been asking me for this for a while and here

00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:25.519
it is we're going to start with packaging it comes in a box which you

00:00:24.119 --> 00:00:29.400
may or may not have expected it's also got some nice soft Clos cell foam

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:33.760
because of how heavy this case is and especially how heavy it's going to be

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:36.760
once it's Laden with Hardware like man this thing's heavy I wouldn't have

00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:40.360
minded seeing a little bit thicker foam like what Silverstone does on some of

00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:44.800
their higher end cases but it should pretty much arrive in one piece even

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:49.079
with a system inside in most cases let's start with the accessories inside the

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:53.800
little accessory box that's included you get a radiator bracket so this allows

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.399
you to install up to a dual 120 mm Radiator on the side if you're willing

00:00:55.559 --> 00:01:01.399
to remove the hard drive cages don't worry there will still be SSD mounts you

00:00:59.519 --> 00:01:04.680
also get a nice little Kit full of screws it's got little compartments for

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:08.400
all the different kinds of screws that come with the case actually it's amazing

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:12.000
how many different kinds of screws are used on this case it actually has more

00:01:10.119 --> 00:01:16.720
than the 10 compartments worth of different screws which I discovered when

00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:20.799
I undid the this thing right here the reservoir mounting bracket that was

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:24.560
actually inside in the first place because it was unfortunately useless if

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:28.320
you have a gaming grade graphics card that's sort of a normal length then it's

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:31.400
going to interfere with that anyway the good news is that there are other places

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:35.479
that you can mount your radiator without any difficulty finally finally we've got

00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:39.640
the rest of the accessories here we've got two little foam pieces in case you

00:01:37.399 --> 00:01:44.439
want to install a second power supply in the U primo and then some zip ties as

00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:48.119
well as two more velcro straps in addition to the ones that are inside the

00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:52.119
case so let's start with the outside the front of the case actually I didn't

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:55.960
really like it that much before it was powered on and before it had an entire

00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.520
system in it it's got a gorgeous brushed aluminum finish now this is a bit of a

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:04.479
double-edged sword because it looks great out of the box but if you get fingerprints on it it can stain over

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:09.679
time so just make sure you're careful with it it has a blue LED strip

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:14.120
Illuminating not only the front but also the top and then if you remove the front

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.920
cover it's actually got two blue LED fans that give a very pleasing glow to

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:21.800
the front of the case as well the great news about all these LEDs is that you

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:25.319
can actually toggle them on and off with a switch that's built into the front of

00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:30.239
the case you've also got an extremely Solid 5 and 1/4 in bay door up at the

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:34.000
front that conceals five 5 and a/4 in base it has a very solid feel to it and

00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:38.400
closes with a satisfying thunk because it is

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:41.920
magnetized so quite like the front of the case the last thing to note about

00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:46.760
the front is that that removable piece that gives us access to those fans has a

00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:50.319
removable cleanable fan filter that's got kind of a complex design to it you

00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:54.040
would just I guess run the whole thing underwater as opposed to removing the

00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:58.959
actual filter from the front piece because the way it's constructed allows

00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:02.840
the front uh bottom air vents like the kind of the side front bottom air vents

00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:06.319
to intake air and still have it be filtered in addition to any air that's

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:09.720
coming through the front of the case which brings us to the top which is also

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:14.200
gorgeous you know brushed aluminum finish two USB 2.0 ports two USB 3.0

00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:18.680
ports that have little rubber you know covers on them that will get lost

00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:23.920
immediately Power reset switch as well as that LED control switch that controls

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:28.920
not only the LEDs on those front fans and the LED strip but also can control

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:31.760
additional LED fans in the case there's actually a bunch of lead I believe

00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:36.360
there's four additional leads inside the case and it can control control your

00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:40.840
internal case lighting because it has a Molex connector that it Powers as well

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:45.599
so you could have your interior lighting and you could hook up pretty much whatever you want to it and have the

00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:50.040
whole thing turn on and off with the push of a switch speaking of pushing we

00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.599
can remove the top fan filter just like that go ahead and clean that or do

00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:56.680
whatever it is you need to do with it this also reveals a ton of space at the

00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:04.239
top for fans and radiators you can do up to three 140 mm fans or four 120 mm fans

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:09.760
and because there's enough clearance between the top of the internals and the

00:04:07.519 --> 00:04:14.879
top of the and the bottom of this fan filter you can actually do a push pull

00:04:12.040 --> 00:04:20.840
configuration with a quad Radiator in here quite comfortably in fact the enthu

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.919
Primo is a water cooling a water Cooler's wet dream so to speak because

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.479
of all the options that are available in it so let's go around to the right hand

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:33.759
side where we find not a whole lot of much of anything there's two 120 mm fan

00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:37.680
mounts these are mostly only going to be used if you do decide to install that

00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:41.520
optional bracket or I shouldn't say Mounds I mean two you know holes two

00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:45.400
ventilation holes there's also a ventilation hole for the power supply

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:49.560
intake the power supply only goes in well one of the power supplies only goes

00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:53.240
in one way in this case on the left hand side we have two little Windows one that

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:57.520
reveals a fantex logo and that's pretty much about it other than that it's just

00:04:54.680 --> 00:05:01.800
kind of a a stealth uh panel there across the 3 and 1/2 in Drive cages

00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:05.759
and the cool thing about that fantex logo is you can actually replace it quite easily it's held on with screws

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:12.120
from the backside so you can put them whenever you want and then a nice large

00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:14.880
sort of U tinted window that gives you a

00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:18.240
nice look at your not your power supply ah yes it has a bit of an unusual

00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:22.680
internal layout so all it really shows you is your motherboard as well as your

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:26.759
graphics cards and that kind of cool stuff so the slightly different internal

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:29.840
L let's go ahead and oh boy this thing's heavy I'm going to try and move it

00:05:28.520 --> 00:05:34.600
around a little bit here so you you can see that the power supply is actually vertical that's what allows you to

00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:38.319
install up to two power supplies in the case you can also put a 120 or 140 mm

00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:42.039
fan here at the back should you so desire there's another Reservoir Mount

00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:47.520
here thankfully so that original one that wasn't very good we don't have to use that also at the back we've got

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:51.600
either a one 120 or 140 mm fan Mount you can go ahead and slide that up and down

00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:57.080
as needed the last thing I do want to show about the outside is oh wow it's

00:05:54.080 --> 00:05:58.720
heavy ouch got my finger even more

00:05:57.080 --> 00:06:02.400
removable fan filters so you go ahead and click these ones down here on the

00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:09.880
bottom and they slide out from the side this reveals ah yes you can have up to a

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:13.520
triple or rather quadruple 120 mm uh

00:06:09.880 --> 00:06:17.199
radiator mounted in the bottom as well

00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:19.360
so that gives you two 480 mm RADS both

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:23.440
with filters and potential for awesomeness of course you would have to

00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:28.280
remove the 3 and 1/2 in Drive cages if you wanted to do that now the fans that

00:06:25.880 --> 00:06:32.639
are included with the case not the greatest you know work mhip ever they

00:06:30.520 --> 00:06:35.759
have a bit of a quite a bit of flex to them they don't feel like the greatest

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.560
thing but fantex does include five of them which is pretty generous

00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:43.520
considering the cases large feature Rich and cost

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:47.479
$249.99 I don't usually mention pricing but cases don't change much so there you

00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:51.800
go um the good news about them is that especially with the included fan

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:56.199
controller they are quite quiet so I was overall pleased with the included fan

00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:01.199
quality and quantity so there's two 140s in the front one 140 in the bottom a 140

00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:05.560
in the back and finally a 140 in the top this is kind of funny I have an h100i

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:11.720
that I've managed to install in the system so there's another 100 sort

00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:15.120
slightly less than 120 mm Gap here and then there's two 120s over here in the 5

00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:18.120
and 1/4 inch Bay there's a 140 here manag to install that without even

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:22.759
removing any of the stock fans so we still have all of the original air

00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:24.280
cooling which is sort of funny to me the

00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:28.520
manual is great because it gives you a couple of useful matrices there's one

00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:32.039
for uh radiator installation so it gives you a little check checklist of where

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:35.680
all the different radiators fit and all that good stuff it also gives you a

00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:39.319
little Matrix for all the different places you can put Fen so while it's not

00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:42.199
as good as someone like silverstone's manuals where they actually walk you

00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:46.240
through the entire process of building in it I'd say it's complete enough to

00:07:44.039 --> 00:07:50.120
give you a good idea of what you are up against now I say up against but

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.520
experienced Builders really won't have that much of a challenge the side panels

00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:58.120
are unexceptional on the inside except you can see that the one with the two

00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:01.840
120 mm vent spots on it is actually blocked by default so you can go ahead

00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:06.680
pull that off if you do decide to mount fans or a radiator there um now why it's

00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.800
not challenging is because they actually do a lot of the wiring for you so we're

00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:14.720
going to go ahead and move around to the back check this out I love the way that

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:19.080
fantex has done most of the cable management out of the box so they've got

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:22.919
their nice little velcro ties which are all down here all down here for the

00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:26.120
eight pin across here for the bottom where you're going to run your USB 2

00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:30.080
your front panel audio and all that good stuff and they've also got a ton of the

00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:35.159
other little standard hoop and look Loop tie off

00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:37.680
things um that go along with the zip ties that they've included actually

00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:42.440
gives you a ton of cable management options but I didn't undo most of it all

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:45.760
I really did was I took the fans out of here and then I routed them all here to

00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:50.720
the integrated fan controller this can support up to 11 fans that are all

00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:54.519
controlled via pwm and it actually works incredibly well more on that in a little

00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:59.640
while so I routed all the fans there I routed my 24 pin my four PCI Express

00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:02.720
connectors up here there's a reason I installed two graphics cards in this

00:09:00.959 --> 00:09:06.279
system I wanted to see if there was going to be enough clearance here to be

00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:11.720
able to run two graphics card worth of PCIe cables and a 24 pin and USB 3 and

00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:14.720
all that stuff and there was and then I just um doubled back with a couple of

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:19.800
these ones to where they needed to go and that was pretty much it other than that cable management is a breeze in

00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:24.240
here and even though I didn't do a great job of managing things uh you know

00:09:21.839 --> 00:09:28.120
carefully up the side here or laying things flat and and utilizing the back

00:09:26.079 --> 00:09:33.680
of the motherboard tray better it looks incredibly clean and looks great from

00:09:30.680 --> 00:09:35.120
the front now this is something that I

00:09:33.680 --> 00:09:40.040
sometimes feel really good about and sometimes don't feel as good about something that I

00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:44.000
I sometimes bothers me about Corsair's cases is that they don't leave much room

00:09:41.640 --> 00:09:47.440
for flexibility they come meant to be wired a certain way and everyone's build

00:09:45.920 --> 00:09:51.440
will look great in it and that's fantastic but everyone's build will kind

00:09:49.160 --> 00:09:54.600
of look the same fantex has taken that approach with a lot of the pre-wiring

00:09:52.920 --> 00:09:58.680
but they haven't gone too far down that path you have a lot of options you can

00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.839
actually remove the 3 and 1/2 in Bays here you can actually remove the 5 and

00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:05.240
a/4 in bail though you will need to drill out some rivets if you want to do

00:10:03.760 --> 00:10:09.560
that and you can just fill the bloody thing with radiators you can uh you can

00:10:07.959 --> 00:10:13.000
put your power supply on the other side you can still do things differently it's

00:10:11.640 --> 00:10:18.399
just that I generally wouldn't really recommend it because the way that they have it wired up here is quite nice

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:21.360
installing the power supply was like the easiest thing ever you just kind of drop

00:10:19.920 --> 00:10:25.440
it in there there's a lot of space to work with next to the power supply here

00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:30.000
unless you install a pump on the included pump anti vibration rubber pad

00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:35.440
which is awesome it happens to have the correct holes for the Lang D5 or

00:10:31.839 --> 00:10:36.800
swifttech mCP 6 655 which is my personal

00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:40.000
favorite pump nothing else really matters to me it's great to see that

00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:43.480
included there's also more room for a reservoir over here should you so desire

00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:48.200
if you're going to remove those 3 and 1/2 in cages installing drives as a snap

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.000
actually it's a kind of a really smart little system here so they have two

00:10:49.800 --> 00:10:56.519
little nubbins here and here and then they have these wings that come out see

00:10:54.959 --> 00:11:00.040
these snap out and then what you do is you just put the drive on click them

00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:04.000
into place there's no ending there's no flexing there's no goofy stuff like that

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:06.880
and once you put it in it actually feels very very solid the one thing that

00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.480
doesn't feel that solid about the 3 and 1/2 in cages is the entire cage assembly

00:11:09.839 --> 00:11:15.480
itself they've made it modular so you can actually move it closer to those two

00:11:13.800 --> 00:11:18.600
140 mm fans at the front to give yourself some more space over here you

00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:21.959
can take them out entirely but I feel like it could have used a little bit

00:11:19.800 --> 00:11:27.079
more reinforcement the other drives that I installed I put a single 2 and 1/2 in

00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:28.760
SSD in to one of their little uh

00:11:27.079 --> 00:11:33.240
removable brackets here now these little 2 and2 in Brackets can take up to two

00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:36.120
drives each but I think in in a practical sort of unless you're buying

00:11:34.920 --> 00:11:41.360
adapter so you're going to need to make sure you use straight cables you might have trouble putting two drives in them

00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:45.720
so uh Beware of that and then the other thing I didn't like about these was the

00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:49.200
fact that they don't screw in in any way there's nice little rubber grommets that

00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:52.959
they go ahead and clip into quite nicely and mostly you're going to be installing

00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:57.160
ssds in there so even if in shipping uh a drive came flying off and rattling

00:11:54.959 --> 00:12:00.760
around it would probably be fine if you ever put a hard drive there or if the

00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.920
SSD manag to like come loose and whack something I don't know I I don't like

00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:07.120
things that don't at least have the option to screw in the cool thing about

00:12:05.839 --> 00:12:11.440
this in terms of options is that you can go ahead and you can install it here on the back of the motherboard tray if you

00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:15.040
want rather than over there so you've got two brackets with up to three

00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:19.320
different places that you can install them moving around to the front the

00:12:17.079 --> 00:12:24.279
amount of space in this case is just very obvious and apparent I went with a

00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:27.920
sort of air cooled and then all-in-one liquid cooled configuration but you can

00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.920
do pretty much anything with this thing in fact there were a couple of really

00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:37.600
cool build logs that I found on Linus Tech tips Forum as well as overclock.net

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:40.399
uh one where the uh the bloke actually

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:44.519
put RADS in the bottom front and top and then manag to hide all of the tubing

00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:47.600
without even being able to see it and then the one on the line is Tech tips

00:12:45.760 --> 00:12:52.079
Forum was quite exceptional as well and it shows the creativity that this case

00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:55.959
does allow the fact that there is adequate Cable Management room for up to

00:12:54.199 --> 00:12:59.839
four graphics cards they do have eight PCI slots in the back and then the fact

00:12:58.160 --> 00:13:04.320
that you can put an eat motherboard in here these are all very very positive

00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:08.360
things and uh I think they've managed to make room for all of that without having

00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:15.279
it be full of empty space like something like the Cosmos 2 um tends to be in the

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:19.320
bottom here by default you can put uh nice thick radiator or you can actually

00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:22.720
even slip a fan in the back here if you want and I think that's pretty much all

00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:26.880
there is to say about it tool is 5 and a/4 inch Drive cages lots of cable

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:31.399
management grommets and that's that's pretty much it for the inside so um

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:34.440
cooling with air is actually very awesome and this is actually it's time

00:13:32.839 --> 00:13:38.760
to do my little demo here so check this out guys um the fact that it includes

00:13:36.839 --> 00:13:43.959
that pwm fan controller is really cool so I'm going to go ahead I'm going to intentionally let my CPU overheat by

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:47.480
undoing two of the thumb screws here now this isn't something that I necessarily

00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:52.079
recommend you can hear the system in my lab it's running very quietly right now

00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:55.600
so I'm going to go ahead and detach this and without providing any additional

00:13:53.839 --> 00:13:59.360
power to the adapter on the back to that fan controller um and you should check

00:13:57.680 --> 00:14:04.800
the fantex website to make that your motherboard supports that I can pull

00:14:01.800 --> 00:14:04.800
this off and listen to

00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:24.360
this the entire case Works harder to

00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:28.040
keep that CPU cool and now when I go ahead and pop the block back on there

00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:32.680
the entire thing is going to quiet down again this is an out standing little

00:14:30.560 --> 00:14:37.320
feature and then the uh the LED control is also fantastic as well overall what

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.839
do I have to say about the enu Primo very solid case considering the

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:45.480
price the build quality is what I consider to be what you would expect you

00:14:44.040 --> 00:14:49.600
can see where they've spent money on things like the gorgeous aluminum finish

00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:52.720
on the front and the top um as well as on the tooling and the design that

00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:58.000
enables them to bring all this functionality into what is a fairly reasonable size when you consider how

00:14:56.199 --> 00:15:01.160
much stuff you can put into it I don't personally like the weight and I find it

00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:04.680
a little bit difficult to move around but for some people that'll be much less

00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:09.240
of a concern love the flexibility that it affords I think the looks are going

00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:14.040
to be a take it or leave it depending on how you feel about the you know the the

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:18.279
two- tiered like kind of stepped look to the top as well as the kind of busy and

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.120
yet black and monolithic looking front but overall I quite like it I think it

00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:25.040
looks much better in person than it is than it does in pictures and videos and

00:15:23.560 --> 00:15:30.600
it looks much better once you've actually got a rig in it and you can appreciate the efficient use of the

00:15:28.040 --> 00:15:34.600
space so overall definitely a thumbs up for fantex on this one and I look

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:38.360
forward to seeing the enu duo or whatever more enus we might get in the

00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:41.800
future guys like this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it check

00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:46.079
out the link in the video description I talked about the price in this video so you don't need that to find out the

00:15:44.199 --> 00:15:49.319
price but you might want to discuss the video somewhere other than the YouTube

00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:52.720
