DOG v12
DOG was the name of my first PC I built in 1996.
A return to custom watercooling after 8 years of AIO CPU and stock GPU cooling, forced by my 2080Ti FE exhausting into the case. First time rigid tubing.
I copied the loop from this build closely - huge props to that team, adding some quality-of-life improvements (drainage & push/pull at top) and I preferred the extension fittings off the CPU rather than two-bend. I went for the Bitspower Sedna distro/waterway as it seemed to give me exactly the config I was after for being able to drain/fill conveniently & stick with the (mostly) horizontal rigid lines.
I wanted 6 fans in (top) & 3 fans out (bottom) to result in a +ve pressure for minimal dust. CPU doesn't break 60 on OC, GPU max so far has been 45 in Star Citizen. The drainage tap right at the bottom has a flex tube that is accessible from the case's rear chamber.
Touchscreens are primarily for spotify, discord/twitch stream chat, and Star Citizen MFD's using the GameGlass app.
