Custom loop VK5 (1.1)

Managed to fit TX240mm ultrathin radiator inside the VK5 (1.1) case with a gpu + cpu custom loop and alphacool 40dc-lt res. originally was supposed to be R5 3600 instead of 5950x but i wanted to see how much heat the janky loop could handle and managed to be lucky to get the 5950x on launch day.

When using Ryzen 3600 the loop can work with only the one internal 92mm fan but with 5950x you have to have the 2 140mm fans outside on the sidepanel
Would be great if i had a 3d printer as then i could print out my own custom sidepanel to make the fan side look nicer and have less restriction on airflow but its fine enough as is.

Case volume is 5.7L (Velka 5 rev 1.1) but with the added 2x 140mm fans its about 7L didnt have to cut the case or anything to fit everything inside, only took out the back usb connectors as it was on the way of the radiator. also another tiny modification is having the psu flipped so that it sucks air from inside the case working as an intake for the rad helping in cooling. also added tiny 10x40mm noctua fan to help cool the chipset of x570-i and shortened the psu cables myself to have more space. Probably going to get thinner cable mod cables at one point to look cleaner.

Tubing used is clear 11/8mm soft tubing and coolant is just distilled water.
