Why builders choose the Wetbench

The Praxis Wetbench is the original PrimoChill test bench: a slanted, open steel frame with acrylic accents, made for water-cooled builds you want to see and reach. Choose a black or white frame and one of 13 accent colors.

Slanted posture

The board leans toward you, so the build is easy to see, photograph and work on.

Your colors

A black or white frame with 13 accent colors. Accent kits are sold on their own, so the look can change later.

Ready for water cooling

Radiators from 120 to 360 mm or 140 to 280 mm, inside or outside the frame.

Open on every side

Nothing between you and the hardware, so swapping a card or a block takes minutes.

Fits a full build

mITX to eATX, an ATX power supply up to 300 mm, four drives and two 5.25" bays for a bay reservoir.

Switches included

Two 22 mm momentary vandal switches with cables, ready for power and reset.

Before you build
Read the full care and warranty details

ASUS boards with an M.2 slot near a standoff. On the ASUS Rampage V Extreme and some ASUS TUF boards, a standoff can block the M.2 slot. Add washers to the motherboard standoff screws, or use two M3 screws instead (extra hardware not included).

Plan the standoffs. Fit the standoffs to match your board's layout before the board goes on.

PrimoChill is not responsible for any hardware damage. Use at your own risk.

Awesome product

I have been wanting a wet bench for years and finally made the decision to get one. I ask myself now, why did I wait so long. Great value for the money . Primo chill shipped my product fast and well packed.

Disappointing

Let me start by saying that I do like the quality of most of the materials, and overall it is a nice bench, but there are a few things that really bothered me with this. My Biggest issue is the radiator mount. Upon mounting the radiator in the bracket and installing it on the bench, the block of an AIO will not reach the CPU and that alone makes this product useless to me. I also have some qualms with how the PSU can only be mounted on the left side/HDD can only be mounted on the right side which is the opposite of the orientation of the SATA ports/power plugs on your motherboard. The instruction booklet says, "These brackets are modular and can be oriented on either side" except the mounting holes on the left and right side are not spaced the same. The material quality overall is great, but the nylon screws are junk. Finally, my instruction booklet has some serious printing issues. I had to find a pdf of the booklet and print my own.

The bottom line - I gave it two stars instead of one solely because I like how sturdy the bench is, but design flaws cripple it's functionality. And after spending $300+ on a product, that is simply unacceptable.

Needs better instructions

Having small dark photos at some key steps and some sort of instructions does not suffice. This is constructed in such a way that sometimes it is counter-intuitive and not having clear instructions and photos that are clearly illustrative throughout and not merely only for the parts list.
Great product though but you have to spend way too much time figuring things out instead of just going ahead and putting it together.
