Phanteks Shift X Custom Loop

This is my first custom loop build, I really like the look of the case, despite the fact that it's not well ventilated at all.

I was really worrying about the temperature might be too high and damage PETG tubes, so I chose to use brass tubes, it significantly increased the amount of fittings I need, since each turn needs 2 fittings and 1 angled adapter. (All the pre-bent ones were out of stock) It really cost me a of extra money, but the end result really looks amazing.

The CryoFuel Mystic Fog coolant looks really good with rainbow RGB setting IMO, although my roommate said it looks like lit-up semen lol.

The temperature is also not bad, when its under load, the GPU is stable at around 60°C, CPU is a bit hotter at 70 - 75°C. I did undervolt both CPU and GPU.
