Very tricky to bridge radiator out and reservoir in; space too small, almost impossible to bend S tube. So direct bridge the gap by rotating the fitting.
Two Antec Prizm Cooling Matrix for a push-and-pull on each side of rad.
Soft tubing is used for coolant out from the reservoir. Two Antec Prizm Cooling Matrix push-and-up set up w/ the radiator, blowing hot air out off the case.
Bykski DDC pump/reservoir combo is ideal which is different from conventional Antec Striker builds.
Bykski DDC/Reservoir and EKWB blue premix.
EKWB RTX3090 FE water block is essential for this build.
EKWB RTX3090 Special Edition water block has the sync lighting effect from the Antec Prizm Cooling Matrix controller.
A higher difference is made by adding more fittings on the left port of the GPU block, the rigid tube goes over and down.
Bykski reservoir is it came with a coolant temp reader, and the drain-off port is installed with a switch at the bottom. All fitting are from Bykski.
An RGB light bar is added magnetically attached to the metal plate.
The Antec Prizm Cooling Matrix has an amazing RGB appearance. There is one other same Antec Prizm Cooling Matrix on the other face of the radiator, all lights are synced.
Two Antec Prizm Cooling Matrix are used to set up a push and pull configuration for the best cooling performance.
The RGB and fan controller box from Antec Prizm Cooling Matrix is taped onto the bottom face of the radiator. There is a 1-to-5 DRGB splitter connected too, making more headers available.
Antec Striker. Pump at back! EK RTX3090 FE block at front!
Custom-built this water-cooled RTX3090 FE blue theme on frosted tubes. Antec Striker, Bykski reservoir pump combo, and EKWB RTX3090 FE Special Edition for aesthetic. Push & Pull for thermal performance.
