My first custom water loop, also my first build in nearly a decade (been using laptops).

Watched a lot of Jayz 2 cents and he inspired me to give the custom loop water cooling a go.

If you haven't tried, it's not that hard. Just plan it out first. I'd suggest getting your hands on the case beforehand and you can really see how to route things.

Having added the GPU to the loop and swapping out the 2600 for a 3900x I've drained the loop multiple times and altered it slightly the process of doing this in the Lian Li Dynamic O11 case has been fairly easy.

I also swapped out the LED strips in the EK blocks for corsair ones by peeling off the rubber and cutting them down to size this allows me to use one software suite to manage the LEDs in my build.
