NV7 Black with EK ZMT soft tubes and Red RGB theme

Finished my first Water Cooling build. Chose EKWB ZMT soft tubes because I was inspired by Oreo build from this website. Main idea was to make it black with red glow, red liquid and highlight on waterblocks by having them different color/lighting.
I just love how those black matte tubes look in dark scenario with some lighting reflexes on them.
Few photos with rainbow RGB theme as well.

I bought those 7900 XTX Red Devil and 7950x for work in the beginning of summer and had them in some cheap fully closed case, never thought I'll make my main personal PC out of those parts later. Was a huge pain to choose waterblock for GPU, especially considering all the WC parts in my country are almost nonexistent and I had to order very expensive delivery making them cost twice their price. I think I lost my mind in the process because of how obsessed I was with the idea to make a good looking showcase watercooled PC.
Turned out almost exactly how I wanted it to look.

Cooling
The NV7 Phanteks case has proper dust filter only on bottom side, so that had to become intake even though there is a 45mm 360 radiator.
For that reason I decided to change back 240 into intake aswell, to have some source of colder air. Was easy to put additional 240 manetic filter here aswell, and it's covered by back door which also acts as a filter.
Top and side are exhausts with 45mm 360 radiator on top and 30mm 360 radiator on side.
Temps inside case for VRM zone, for NVMEs and RAMs are never higher than 60.

As for the main system parts I'm using Alphacool Core GPU waterblock on my Red Devil 7900 XTX,
EKWB Quantum Velocity2 AM5 Plexi+Acetal CPU waterblock for my Ryzen 9 7950x
Pump+Res combo is EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE 300 Acetal running at 80% fixed speed, which gives me 165-170 l/h flow.
Flow sensor is Aquacomputer HIGH FLOW NEXT 2 and I absolutely love it. Just watch reviews about it, its worth more than it costs for sure.
Fittins are EKWB STC Black 10/16 with EKWB Rotary 90 and 45 degrees adapters. Tubes are ZMT from EKWB.
