Too Many 90 Degree Fittings

I guess I should update this area with more info about this build.

This is my first PC I have owned in quite some time, something like 8 or 9 years. Back then I was really into overclocking my CPU. Nothing extreme, I was just trying to squeeze as much out of it as I could. This is what led to me to starting to get into and really enjoying the building side of PCs. But after a little while life got in the way and building PCs fell to the side for other hobbies. Fast forward 8 or 9 years and I can't remember what it was but something put the idea of wanting a PC was in my head. So I began looking at what was out at the time. Intel was still overpriced in my opinion so I stuck with AMD. I spent a couple weeks planning out the parts I wanted and started buying them. What you see below is what I chose.

AMD Ryzen 2700X
Asrock Taichi Ultimate X470
32gb Corsair Vengeance RGB pro 3200mhz c16
Sapphire Radeon RX Vega 64
Corsair HX 850i
500gb Samsung 960 Evo m.2 (boot drive)
250gb Corsair mp300 m.2 (cheap and wanted to fill the extra m.2 slot)
1tb Samsung 860 Evo ssd
6 Corsair LL120 RGB fans
2 120mm Corsair fans
Hooked up to a Corsair commander pro
All in a Lian li pc-011 dx
Vizio 2.1 sound bar
Cablemod custom cables.

I originally built the PC with an AIO for the CPU and the GPU was a blower style. You know what those sound like while gaming, so I decided I am going to try my hand at a full open water cooling loop. So I gathered parts and dove right in. It took my almost 10 hours in my garage the day I built the loop to get it to my liking.

Water Cooling Parts:
Thermal Take D5 Pump/Res
10/14mm PETG Hard Tubing
EKWB Mobo Mono Block
EKWB GPU Waterblock
Barrow Fittings
Dual 360mm Rads
Thermaltake Flow/Temp Meter
Alphacool Flow Indicator

For my first ever water cooling loop I do not think it turned out too bad.

Build Updates

Tearing down, cleaning and redoing the loop begins.
