[update] How the rig looks currently. Rerouting the loop to CPU only was super easy, the PCIe power cable routing is a bit eh but it works, and I can fix that once I get a new GPU with the 8 pin(s) in the right spot instead of the middle of the card.

[old] Front View, tried to route the EK-ZMT tubing as cleanly as possible.

[old] Rear View, actually took the time to get all the cables out of the way of the rear panel (that I still haven't installed because I lost track of a few of the thumb screws lol).

[old] During leak testing! Always nerve-wracking, not due to any doubts with ZMT, but I tend to get distracted easily and forget things :o

X99 Main Rig - Now Dissassembled

Refresh of my main X99 rig. Not much has changed, other than yeeting the Radeon VII I had due to constant driver issues. Loop has moved to CPU only, 1660 Ti is subbed in for now, until I have the budget for a better GPU. Also currently in the process of getting a 6950X, because a friend has one for a good price, and it's the best OCable chip on this platform. - 6950X obtained, see update Emoji
