-- Watercooling --
CPU Bloc: Alphacool Core 1 LT
GPU Bloc: EK-Quantum Vector³ Astral RTX 5090 - Plexi
Intel 900p Bloc: Bitspower BP-SSDITL900P
Liquide: EK-CryoFuel Premix
Fittings: "Alphacool Eiszapfen" family + koolance NZL-LXG2 + Bitspower Aquapipe II + 16mm acrylic tubing
Rads:
- Alphacool NexXxoS HPE-45 (420 x 140 x 45) (front)
- Hardware Labs Black Ice Nemesis GTS 420 (420 x 140 x 30) (top)
- Corsair Hydro X Series XR5 (360 x 120 x 30) (back)
Fans:
- be quiet! Silent Wings 4 140mm PWM (front)
- Scythe Kaze Flex 140 PWM (top)
- Noctua NF-A12X25 PWM chromax (back)
Pump/res combos: Singularity Computers
- Protium D5 Pump Top Polished Acrylic + D5 Pump Cover Black-Silver Rings + Protium L 250mm Black Polished
- Ethereal Dual 2.0 Silver

Things I still need to do :
- replace all 140mm fans with the Noctua NF-A14x25 G2. I'm waiting on the chromax version that should be available in late 2025
- replace the Alphacool Core 1 LT by the Alphacool Apex monoblock that should come out one day but I don't know the exact date yet
- build some aluminium cable combs for the GPU 12v-2x6 cable and sleeve that cable
- add one RGB strip in between the front rad and the back rad. This will illuminate the reservoirs from an indirect angle and give a nice diffuse glow
- widden the hole on the rear pannel to replace the current 360x30mm radiator by a 360x54mm from my previous build. Because my CPU temps are a bit higher than I would have liked
- redo the tube going out from the GPU block and in the top rad because it's not perfectly parallel to the glass panel of the case
- re-drill the holes of the bracket for the SSD U.3 on the power supply cover because it's not perfectly parallel to the glass panel of the case
