Custom loop in a Fractal Design Meshify XL, 5900X/RTX 3090
This loop is from last year, built for a friend (at the time this was pretty high-end hardware). He sent all the hardware to me, so most choices were his. There were some compatibility issues (wrong distro plate), so some mods were required. I also added some vinyl to cover the back of fans, and acrylic panels to clean up the rear of the case. All cables are made by hand. This was my first loop, so please forgive the over-use of fittings; I wasn't as good with bends at the time.
As stated, the distro plate is for the Meshify, but not for the XL. As a result, I had to drill new holes in the rear of the case to mount it. Also, some of the runs didn't line up as they should have, so I had to work around that. Again, not ideal, but he did a good job with hardware selection overall.
At one point I attempted to put a Thermaltake inline temp/flow meter in the loop under the GPU, but no matter what I did it had an air leak. After a while I just gave up on it. There is an XSPC temp plug in the distro plate.
