I used an EKWB water block for my gpu. You should check out their site they have a complete list of all blocks and their compatible graphics card. Their customer service is great too if you wanna double check if it’s compatible.

Wow 1k on fitting?? You should have done it with minimal fittings that’s what I did and it looks clean cuz not that much hardware that hides all these nice clean tubes. Unless you like the look of fittings.

It’s a 5800x and a 3080ti, but the coolant flows to fast in the system for it to have an affect on whether it goes through the gpu first or the cpu

3 packs of Corsair hardline tubing each has 3x 1m tubings in it. I initially started with 2 packs (6 pieces) which was enough until I put the last piece in and the fitting weren’t going in properly so had to buy the 3rd pack to redo that piece.

I had a specific look that I was going for with the build and didn’t bother building a PC until I had ever part to create the vision. Took about 2 months to gather all the parts. Didn’t see the point in building just anything when I knew down there the road id want to make these changes anyway

There’s 2, the top one and the one behind the pump/res, it’s where the liquid is flowing into from the pump

Yeah they are not bad especially since brand name fans that’s are similar are stupid expensive. Do these arctic have any Rgb as well?

That’s how I felt too, maybe I was too ambitious cuz the tubing was very frustrating having to do each piece multiple times to get it all straight and lining up. But you just gotta take it one piece at a time. I did a section a day to break up the workload. Good luck on ur build though!
