Mounted the pump & reservoir. I used some angle brackets and drilled small holes in the front of the case.
Hardtubes have been bent. These are 10/14 mm.
Custom cables work in progress.

Kira
Kira is a fully custom watercooled small formfactor PC.
After a long wait time I finally finished the first stage of my first ever custom loop cooled SFF PC. It required some drilling and bending and a lot of waiting. I took it slow but sometimes rushed it anyway so I may have used about twice the amount of tubes I would've needed!
The RTX 2080 can definitely handle many games at 4K, even though this requires running the fans at full blast as the water temperature quickly reaches 50°C otherwise. Ah, the joy of SFF I mostly play indie games and these can be played at 4k & max settings without breaking a sweat and stable water temperature around 42°C. Playing AAA titles is done via Steam Link so I can run the fans at 100% and not hear a whisper.
My noob efforts in OC
CPU: 4.9 GHz @ 1.29V (AVX-2). max ~80°C.
GPU: ~2070 MHz. max ~65°C.

I am still planning to do custom cables, but I've put them on hold for now as I couldn't wait any longer to finally play some nice games again!

More cooling, soft tubing
