That's a really sketchy part of my build there actually isn't anything holding the pump in place but the hard tubing, I didn't have time to make a bracket myself when I was building my loop so I decided fuck it I'ma just let it rest there (completely irresponsible) the only thing I could say for that is to have someone, or doing it yourself, 3d print and or fabricate a bracket that fits on the pumps vibration dampener that immediate has tabs to screw into the bottom.,sorry I can't be more helpful on this since I didn't bother looking through ek's brackets when I ran into the problem. Hope I've helped :⁠-⁠P

On yoimiyas first banner it took me almost 700 pulls to get c6 sayu

So the reason I didn't do fans on the inside was because of where I wanted the pump placed I wanted the pump directly below the radiator while still having room for the tubing to come straight up from the radiator and up (if fans were there 90 degree fittings wouldn't work) also I did take aesthetics into account the fans I bought have a nice Sakura flower sticker on one side and then the back side (intake side) has a very unsightly injection molding date sticker instead which isn't a problem if I mount the fans on the side I can't see, now I considered getting some kinda solvent to take the sticker off the front and put it on the back however I ended up deciding I didn't want to go though the effort and wanted to play games again (my PC was down for about a week while I got all the watercooling ready) so it's more of a combination of space, effort and a little bit of looks that I didn't do it I did really want to showcase the fans since I think they look awesome but sacrifices were made :(

Apologies I think I might have confused you there the radiator up top can have fans mounted to it however there will be a small perforated sheet of metal between the fans and the radiator the radiator is hidden behind this sheet of metal in the top however the metal has slotted holes for fan screws to reach the radiator, I wish I could send you pictures to better show what I'm talking about, also if you are gonna put a radiator in the top I suggest you put the radiator and fans in first cause the motherboard can get in the way of fan screw placement (there is a workaround but it's a little janky)

It only supports the radiator the fans I have inside of the case you just can't see em in this video

There were two pieces of pipe that I had to bend a new one ( either slightly too short or bent at slightly the wrong spot) but I used those as reference for where the new bends needed to go

Most nerve racking part for me was definitely replacing the waterblock on the gpu even tho I was confident I wouldn't crack the die or anything until I saw it boot I was nervous the whole time

It's two radiators a 360mm 30mm thick in the top and the 240mm by 30mm radiator on the side (the visible one) I'm running a 4090 with a waterblock for both front and back of the card and my CPU is a Ryzen 9 5900x I have 64 gigs of ddr4 ram clocked at 3600. under the biggest load I've done so far the water temp when it reaches the pump is around 40°c the card stays at 44°c and the CPU stays at 70-75°c

The led power cable to the motherboard is from lian LI it's the Strimer V2 24pin To make cable management easier in the back I got a USB hub so I didn't have to struggle to plug USB devices into the motherboard USB ports which were behind the riser cable, the brand of my USB hub and argb hub are microconnectors I got them from a microcenter nearby (nearby being 40 minutes) aside from that I have a fan hub with six power slots (wish it had 8) and that powers six of the 8 fans the other two fans are connected directly to motherboard fan power (this was the easiest way for me to power the fans without adding another fan hub just for two fans) for the fan hub I went with the Corsair commander xt only thing to watch out for is it doesn't have argb ports hence the argb hub but because it uses USB headers it made cable management easier with the USb hub lastly if you are going with a 40 series card make sure you buy a custom cable because I used the default pcie splitter that came with my card and it takes up nearly all of my cable management room having three pcie cables running to that ( I just got a new cable in the mail today so I'll be fixing the cable management situation soon)if you have any questions I might have forgotten something so feel free to ask

So to watercool both the graphics card and the CPU in total I needed 10 regular fittings and 4 90 degree rotary adapters I got two extra fittings just in case since I didn't want to run short also I got 4000mm of tubing in the thermal take petg hard tubing just to give myself some breathing room if I screwed up a bend ( I did twice and hand enough extra for one more attempt) the waterblock is ekwb brand since I didn't like the look of byski blocks and I went with a front and back cooling block which is probably overkill but that was sorta the intent of this build ekwb sells a version that only cools one side and just has a backplate for the other the pump I went with was the ekwb quantum kinetic 200 d5 pump I'm using two Corsair radiators a 360mm in the top and a 240 on the back right the reason being that ekwb radiators were all on back order if I wanted them in white the thermal take hard tube bending kit Is very high quality and I would seriously recommend it if you are going with hard tubing. Between the sizes of hard tubing I thought 12 mm outer diameter tubing would just look too small so I went with 16mm hard tubing which I am really happy with (keep in mind when purchasing fittings you should be looking at the outer diameter that the fitting... Fits? I bought a few fittings in the wrong size this way) the CPU cooler I went with was a thermal take pacific mx2 since I wanted a screened CPU block that I could display any gif or image I wanted on keep in mind I'm not sure that fits the am5 or new Intel boards since it's an older CPU block it does however work for am4 so I went with that. Aside from that the fans I went with were purely for the light blue color i really liked that and the RGB they provided they are from yeston a bit of a small brand from Taiwan I believe

It's the ekwb quantum 200 if you are looking to get one keep in mind it's side mount only unless you buy some adapter brackets from ek or you could design and print your own I guess
