SilentiumPC Aquarius X90 Mid-Tower Case Review

Cases & PSU/Cases by leeghoofd @ 2014-07-10

The company SilentiumPC was established in 2007 in Warsaw, Poland. Their main objective is to offer quality products at a very affordable price level; the latter is achieved by applying cost-cutting in banners, promo gear, packaging... however not in the quality of the product itself. The SilentiumPC lineup consists of cases, CPU air coolers, power supplies, fans, notebook cooling and other accessories. Today we introduce you to the SilentiumPC Aquarius X90: a mid-tower case, designed specifically for the liquid cooling enthusiasts in mind. SilentiumPC labels it as the ultimate choice for high-end gaming systems with compact dimensions and at an amazing value.

Do It Yourself Water Cooling Build

Time to put SilentiumPC's quote, designed for water cooling enhusiasts to the test.

We removed the entire AIO cooled setup and went for a brand new build based on MSI's latest Z97 flagship motherboard the Z97 XPOWER. Cooling gear was provided they the crew from Slovenian's water cooling die-hards, EK Waterblocks.

Assembly was pretty straight forward as the Aquarius X90 has got room to spare. The movable HDD cage facilitated the installation even more; just position your favorite 240/360 radiator in the front and if really required there is still room for up to a 240 rad in the top of the X90 case.

The hardware we used in our DIY build is:

MSI Z97 XPOWER motherboard
Intel i7-4790K@4700MHz 1.35Vcore
32GB CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 2400C11 kit
ASUS GTX 780ti@1200Mhz cooled by EKWB full cover waterblock
240GB Plextor M.2 mSSD
2 x 2TB Western Digital Caviar Green HDD
EKWB L360 complete water cooling kit
CORSAIR HX1050 PSU

The ASUS GTX 780ti DCII OC graphics card was watercooled by a nicely crafted EK WB full cover waterblock including the black backplate. the latter passively cools the back of the powerfull GTX780ti

One of the strong points of EK WB L360 complete cooling set is the small dimensioned pump with integrated reservoir, allowing easy installation even in the most cramped cases.

We wish to thank EKWB for supplying the required parts to show of the cooling capabilities of the SilentiumPC Aquarius X90 enclosure.
