Current picture, awaiting optimus water block to build out the GPU loop

rear after tubes run to CPU loop

Push pull fan config. left lower 2 inner fans off because they would be very close to psu and would likely make air noise blowing against the side of it.

Heatkiller IV Pro waterblock

X670e hero and 7950x

Strix 4090 and MSI atx 3.0 psu with PCIE5 cable

Lit up after install. So much air in the water, extra cloudy. Has since cleared up nicely with just a few bubbles on the glass that are slowly going away

Back compartment of case. Not fully cable managed yet, will finish that up soon once I completely trust the loop

Tubes all in place

Size comparison to original cooler

Block installed

pads and KPX

EK waterblock

Giant watercooled 7950x system

Set out to build a new system using dual 560mm radiators. found a case that fit them and looked decent, the TT Tower 900.
Have an Asus X670E hero board, 7950x with a heatkiller IV pro waterblock, Strix 4090 (still waiting on the Optimus water block to be released) , 32gb DDR5 6000 Gskill Expo ram, MSI Ai1300P ATX 3.0 PSU, Alphacool 560 x 60mm radiators in the back in push pull config, alphacool 250mm reservoirs, hard tubed, internal 7" display that will be set up with aida64 for monitoring.
Running great as is, just waiting for the optimus 4090 block to release and for Derbauer to release the delidding/direct die parts for the 7000 series CPU.

Added EKWB waterblock to the 4090 Strix

Missed ordering the Optimus block on release day, ended up ordering an EK block from Titanrig. Optimus had posted that they "would be opening up orders in a few days" and then released it the very next day when I didn't check on it and they never emailed. oh well. EK block has been working amazingly, so likely will cancel my optimus block.
Got all the tubes bent up, leak tested, spent a couple days getting the air out of the 2nd loop. you can see in one picture how cloudy it was I first got it going. Core/mem runs between 10-15C delta to water temp, loop keeping water temps under 30C after long gaming sessions.
