This was my setup earlier in the year with this new build having a single 360mm distro. I recently changed it to a dual loop with dual 120mm distros and dual pumps. Also removed the black lights and UV green coolant and now using XSPC LUMINARA coolant.
The mockup photos show my build with an EK CPU block, but the final build uses an Optimus water block.
I decided to use a front mesh kit with fans instead of glass on this build and glad I did.
Three 4TB Samsung 990Pro in the motherboard and two more in the DIMM.2 slot. All the space I should ever need.
Yes, I have all 17 fans using only one controller, I did not install the Lian Li software and control all RGB using OpenRGB software.
Just a plain single color RGB here
After completing the first version of this build, I noticed no matter what pump speed I ran the flow indicator would not spin. This was the reason to swap to a dual loop. All that radiator must have been just too much for one pump.
New desk today, monitor mount will be here this weekend to raise it up and move it back.
