The block is from ModUltra with an EK DDC pump. I used Corsair PMMA tubing - I prefer PMMA for its higher melting point, and I find it easier to work with. CPU temps mid-60s under heavy load, not loud at all.

Drain/fill port just above the PSU. The upper tube has a 3-way split by the motherboard with a temp plug. Slim radiator is a must unless you're using a "top hat" mod.

I set the pump to a steady 25% speed to cut down on pump noise. With such a small loop this is plenty.

I had trouble getting the top to close with 25mm fans, so I switched to the 15mm chromax versions.

Stock Corsair PSU cables and their 12VHPWR adapter, all shortened to eliminate clutter. Note the temp plug.

I left the pump's power cable accessible for filling with an external 12V power supply (can't get to the 24-pin with tubes in place).

In case anyone is wondering how it's filled.
