Blue Ice Mirror

First time to try out hard tubing and using cablemod cables.

I had to cut the bottom opening so the D5 could fit along with the 60mm thick radiator. Had to use a thin fan for the rear exhaust to line up the reservoir with the outlet of the CPU waterblock.

Also the front panel of the Define C doesn't have the greatest airflow with the Fans inside it. So I am modifying the panel by adding grating to the front to allow greater airflow.

One of the Phanteks 2080ti Waterblocks came with a faulty RGB strip. It is easily replaceable so I have contacted Phanteks directly and they are shipping a new strip to me at the moment.

This thing runs smooth and cool with a stable overclock of 5.0 ghz on the CPU and overclocking on the GPU's aswell. Normal running and game play reach 50c tops only reaching higher with active stress testing.
