Drift - Ryzen 5950x Production & Gaming Hybrid Open-Air Custom Loop Distroplate PC.

Computer Name: Drift

Intent: Make a bleeding-edge Production/Gaming Hybrid PC that is based on the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen 9 CPU lending it production-level capabilities to a top tier gaming experience leveraging PCIe Gen4 but doubling it's role with SATA drives for content generation storage and backup purposes, all wrapped up in an aggressive open-air chassis with "No snake" cable management, custom cables from the PSU combined with custom liquid cooling loops from a distro plate. Wish me luck!
.
Case, Fans and Cooling: Antec Torque Open-Air Gaming Chassis (Antec Torque Open Air Chassis ) with a total of 7 fans running, including the PSU internal fan. Open-Loop Liquid cooling (by EK) support with RGB Pull Configuration Fans and two 360mm radiators, one on top and one in front of the distro plate.
3 x 120mm in Pull Configuration for the Front Radiator LianLi Uni Fans (SL120) with aRGB (Rainbow)
3 x 120mm in Pull Configuration for the Top Radiator LianLi Uni Fans (SL120) with aRGB (Rainbow)
1 x 135 mm ASUS ROG Thor PSU Fan
All fans are running performance mode based on CPU Temp
